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.'"

    They probably put the resistor in backwards

    So it's not a total recall...

    Even better, the recall took place before the units reached the retail market.

    That's right, they can recall it wholesale.
