Hallo Ihr Allwissenden,

ich habe mir am Freitag eine ATI Grafikkarte mit X700 Chip und 265 MB
von TUL gekauft und eingebaut (Powercolor X700). Treiber installiert,
Demos installiert, 3D Mark ausgeführt - alles bestens.

Samstag Morgen wollte ich den Rechner booten und nichts ging mehr.

Motherboard MSI K7T266 mit Athlon 2000 XP fährt nicht hoch.
- Platten bekommen keine Strom und drehen sich nicht
- LEDs an der Netzwerkkarte bleiben dunkel.
- Kein Fehlerpiepen
- Auf den Fehlercode LEDs des Mainboards leuten drei rot, eine leuchtet
nicht. Normalerweise sind hier vier grün.

Zwischen Freitag Abend und Samstag Morgen habe ich nichts geändert, wo
kann der Fehler liegen?



Netzteil zu schwach, ist hier die am häufigsten anzutreffende Botschaft.

Inzwischen habe ich folgendes gefunden...

Zitat an:

I gave this card 3 stars even though I never actually got it to work. Reviews of this card convinced me that the Radeon X700 was a wonderful value for people who want to play games but who don't want to spend $500 on a video card.

The first thing to be careful of is the wattage. Radeon says on the box that a 300 watt power supply is required, but I was unable to find the exact amount of power the card uses anywhere in the documentation or specifications. ATI seems to have taken care to hide that data, which means that even if you have a 300W power supply in your computer you may still be unable to make this card work.

Power supply wattage is a tricky thing. Power supplies tend to be sold based on how many watts they can supply at max, yet that number is misleading. Power supplies have to take 110V power (or 220V in other parts of the world) and "step down" that power to supply 3.3V, 5V, and 12V current. Each of those different voltage "rails" have their own maximum wattage, so it is possible to have two different 300 watt power supplies, one of which might give you the power you need and one of which might not. (...)

The second thing about this card is that the most recent Catalyst drivers give the user a Radeon control panel that is truly terrible. Your Radeon used to be configurable by going to Start->Control Panel->Display->Settings->Advanced. The Radeon configuration would be a series of tabs attached to this dialog.

Not any more! Now the Radeon configuration dialog is a standalone application, and it is a very bad one. I run Windows in a very high resolution, so the "Normal" font size is far too small and I have chosen the "Large" font size. The Radeon configuration applet is a fixed size and you cannot make it larger, so the "Large" font size causes half the text and controls in the applet to be missing! You actually have to turn your font size back to "Normal" just to configure your video card! Appalling. They spent time giving the user custom "skins" to choose from, yet they didn't spend two minutes to test what would happen with a larger font size.

The third thing to be careful of: My motherboard aparently doesn't like modern Radeons. I was unable to get my computer to boot with the X700 installed, so I flashed my motherboard BIOS to the most recent version, installed the absolute newest chipset drivers/GART, and it would try to load Windows and just halt every time. There's so many things that can be a factor in whether a modern video card works, so be patient and try everything. Call or e-mail their tech support, like I did. Once I had done everything ATI said to do, there was nothing to do but take the card back.

I took the card back and got a GeForce 6600. The GeForce booted on the first try and performs flawlessly on my machine. Go figure.

Zitat Ende:

Tja...


Stellt sich jetzt nur die Frage ob ich zu der Karte ein neues Netzteil kaufen soll oder evtl mit einer Geforce 6600 GT im gleichen Preissegment mehr Glück habe.

Gruß


Andre
