Anyone using GeForceFX 5900 Ultra with SGI 17.3" LCD or Apple 22" 1600x1024 LCD?

Greetings:

On my system on a ABIT BE6IIv2.0 Pentium III 1Ghz 133FSB Motherboard using
the Intel 440BX chipset and my display being a SGI (Silicon Graphics Inc)
17.3" 1600x1024 16:10 60hz LCD display via DVI. I had no issues with a PNY
Verto GeForce3 Ti500 64MB. However, with the BFG Technologies Asylum
GeForceFX 5900 Ultra 256MB, what appears to happens is that everything from
the BIOS Power on self testing, bios setup, and DOS would have the text
flickering and blury with streaks between the characters as well as on the
Award BIOS main screen where the Energy Star logo is, part of the yellow on
the right side is on the left side of the screen. The screen is running at
1600x1024 at 63.36Hz. The problem seems to occur with everything before
the Windows XP logo since everything after that is fine. I'm not sure what
the AGP version on the Intel 440BX chipset is but the GeForce3 Ti500
requires a AGP 2.0 port and I did have some issues initially which was
fixed with a newer version of Nvidia firmware for the video card. Any help
would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Vince

 

Just wondering if you have enough power supply juice for that beast of a
card?

I should since I have a PC Power & Cooling Turbo-Cool 450ATX which is
450Watt sustained rated at 40C degrees and it's already a conservative
rating as the peak output is way higher. Here are the specs:

DC Output:
+5V @ 50A
+12V @ 18A
-5V @ 0.3A
-12V @ 2A
+3.3V @ 40A
+5VSB @ 2A
+5V & +3.3V<300W
Regulation:
1% (+5, +12)
3% (-5, -12)
1% (+3.3)
Ripple:
1% (p-p)
Hold Time:
20ms
PG Delay:
300ms

The other issue is that the AGP is running at 100Mhz and not 66Mhz as there
is no 1/2 divider on the 440BX chipset so it runs on 2/3 divider. And the
AGP is AGP 1.0 and not 2.0. So I don't even know if the voltage output is
meeting the requirements since I remember 2.0/3.0 uses 0.8v/1.5v but I
think some AGP standard is 3.3volts as well.
