5900 Ultra Flickering Problems

Question

There appears to be a growing concern by Nvidia to both NVIDIA and competitor’s cards which are experiencing similar problems that are described as "flickering, rolling lines or quivering in different forum posts. So much so that Nvidia has posted a sticky on Nvnews:

It appears that it might be AGP related and that in order to fix the problem card manufacturers will have to re-modelled.
If this is so will we be able to return our cards to get the newer model which should be noise free, flicker free, etc......

Answer 1

A lot depends on your current hardware, that is the question you should be asking yourself when considering a VGA upgrade. (It's important to investigate compatability with your hardware)
Since you gave us nothing to go on, that's the best answer I could come up with.
PS mine works flawlessly so far. They seem to be having problems with the nForce delta boards running in 8x mode, but I am pretty confident it will be resolved eventually.
RAM timings and setting the BIOS AGP setting to 4x can cure some of the problems until such fixes are introduced. 8X is not really being utilized currently as the games on the market are not using that bandwidth yet, so it's no major loss.
You may also want to consider the fact that PCI express is coming soon and will change things around quite a bit, so if you already have a decent card like a ti4200 or a 4600 then you may want to consider trudging along for another year till PCI express comes along. It really boils down to what you are willing to spend atm.
