Hello everyone,
Well, we've got this supposedly hot card (for full description see the link below)
I'm told it's a "solid card, not an 8800, but..."

You could have gotten an ASUS card that uses DDR3 RAM but is otherwise identical for the same price from Newegg: <http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121097> Mine's arriving by UPS today, so I have more than a passing interest in this!
And it seems fine. However, the Nvidia driver for OpenSuSE 10.3, 32 bit (that's what we are trying to use it under) wouldn't pick it up and on top of that lspci lists it as an "inknown Nvidia device" or some such - in other words, it can't figure out the model number. I think the two problems may be related.
I will let you know later this afternoon if this is a problem for the ASUS card. Perhaps the XFX engineers did something funky in the board identification circuitry or code. Or maybe the unit you got is just defective.
Any help on this will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Boris.
