GeForce 8800 GTX Recall

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the get-over-here dept.

An anonymous reader writes "From vr-zone.com: 'We have received news that all the 8800GTX cards out in the channel are being recalled due to manufacturing defect. We heard it is probably due to a resistor controlling 2D/3D switching and that leads to 3D corruption. However, the defect doesn't affect the 8800GTS cards.'"

    ATI had the same problem with the X1800 series, it happens in the manufacturing world, especially with something as complex as a high end video card. I believe the original 7900s had issues with the voltage regulators.
