Geforce 460 and DVI question
I recently bought and installed a Palit Geforce GTX 460 1Gb - the sonic
platinum edition. While the card powers my Relisys tl795 r-u monitor brilliantly, neither DVI ports work properly. I get a bright green background to everything. I've tried three different DVI cables with the same result. My monitor worked perfectly well from the DVI port on my previous Geforce 5600 card. Before I go through all the hassle of sending the card back - does anyone have any experience of the problem? Could it be the monitor? |

It sounds to me like you've narrowed it down to bad DVI ports on your new vid card. |

I see Palit has one specifically for your card to fix some compatibility issue. http://www.palit.biz/main/faq_show.p...ate=vga&id=162 |

Someone here may be reporting the same thing - more modern video card, DVI output, TL795. It would appear, something happens to the monitor, after it is run via VGA. Then DVI is screwed up afterwards. http://www.computerhope.com/forum/in...?topic=91451.0 The VGA port apparently still works normally. Weird. I'd probably start with Moninfo, and see if the EDID still works. Perhaps the EDID got corrupted ? http://www.entechtaiwan.com/util/moninfo.shtm The EDID should work, whether you're connected via VGA or DVI. Communication with it, is serial, via a couple pins on the cable. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EDID I wouldn't trash the video card just yet. Paul |

I'm taking the machine to my friendly local repair shop, which has offered to try the card on different monitors. I'll post any results.. |

Paul snip moninfo report In case it helps anyone else - the problem was the monitor. I now have a sparky new widescreen running off the DVI, and my trusty old Relisys woreking as a second monitor from the VGA port. Actually, I don't know why I haven't done this before... |
