I just installed a go 7900gtx 512mb to replace my 7800gtx. After installing the 7900, I now am getting some video corruption/artifacts. I get a bunch of tiny red dots that cluster in similair areas. This happens at the windows desktop as well as in games like battlefield 2. I'm using the drivers that came with the included cd, 84.78. I also tried using 84.22 and nothing changed. Any ideas?

Uninstall Nvidia drivers. Then boot into safe mode and use Driver Cleaner Pro and select multiple cleaners for all Nvidia driver parts. When your still in safe mode, install the latest drivers that Sager has on there website.

P.S. What did you pay for the card?

I tried this, same problem still persists. I paid a little over 500.

Hmmm.. What did Sager have to say about it. Other then the basics I am out of idea's.

I actually have a hypersonic aviator fx7, which is the same as the 9750. I posted here because there are a lot more people who own the model from sager than with hypersonic. Hypersonic didn't have much to say. They said that from what I described it sounded like a defective card and that they would ship me out a new one asap.

The card itself seems to perform perfectly. I got a 3dmark05 score of about 8500 with virus scan and other programs running in the background.

hexum23 Please keep us posted. I'm especially interested in upgrading to the 7900 GTX 512. 8500 on 3dmark 05 WOW that is sick!

Also how hard was installation? Any issues? or does it fit like a glove?
