Geforce 8800 GTX suffers 11th hour recall

WE LEARNED that some of the Geforce 8800 GTX cards have a faulty resistor. A few partners confirmed the issue but they said it won't change the shipping and announcement plans. It is easy as beans as they can change it and Nvidia will supply the right one.

The issue should be taken care by Monday but it will, however, delay some of the reviewing and sampling schedules. Well, that's life.

The cards out there in reviewer's hands work well and so far, no one complained much about them. The resistor still needs to be changed to prevent the problems in the future but everyone described it as a not that much of a big deal.

The bottom line is that your card that you buy from Wednesday onwards should be trouble free and if not, the partners will fix it as soon as possible - we hope.

Our friends at VR-zone have to say something about it here. µ
