Geforce 8800 GTX Recalled

Tuesday, 07 November 2006 12:45

Adam Foat, Nvidia product PR Manager for Northern Europe talked about the sudden recall of Nvidia's flagship 8800 GTX graphics cards in a recent press statement.

"Some GeForce 8800 GTX boards that were built through our contract manufacturer had a simple BOM error - wrong resistor value. GeForce 8800 GTS boards are not effected by this.

These GeForce 8800 GTX boards were shipped to our Add-In-Card partners.

We have been working with them to pull these back and change the resistor to the correct value.

We believe we will still be able to hit our hard launch this week (Nov 8th) with the new GeForce 8800 GTX boards.

This is a testament to our execution as well as the execution of our Add-In-Card partners."

Manufacturers believed to have faulty cards include evga, Asus and BFG. Other early shippers could also be hurrying to fix the faulty cards before the 8th November launch date. Those eager to purchase the next generation card are advised to wait until the dust settles.
