Default Testpattern needs your help!

At the weekend the Antipodean Midget's PC stopped working... well, part of it did...

His monitor won't stay on... We've tried changing the cable, the PSU (which didn't work) then tried it on my rig (where it worked with no problems)...

Diagnosis, the GFX card is knackered :/

Nvidia reckon a month to fix the card (joy) so he's stuck without his love, Gothic 3, until then...

So here comes the cry for help...

Does anyone have, just lying around, a spare PCI-E graphics card they could lend to him until his is sorted? He'll happilly pay for postage and will love you forever.

Thanks in advance you great, great peoples

Sorry, all I have is an old 16Mb AGP Matrox G450 Dual head.

And the one I'm running on right now is only slightly better as a ATI AIW 7500...

After you.

Anyhoo... Got a ATI X1800XT 256mb. Can't remember if it works or not. Will take it into work and try it with my workstation tomorrow.

He got all excited Simon

If it works (and is definitely PCI-E) then let me know and I'll get him to sort out some fundage for the postage borrow
