St.Martin didn't ride on a white horse (sorry snow is under progress :) but after an endless years I finished a new release of my MTRRLFBE and VESATEST utility. I just got some NV GTX670 sh!t with artifacts even in 2D mode and sometime in textmode. I tried it with VESATEST and found that MTRR W-C was not set properly because of MTRR range overlap/conflict. Despite my quick hack. So I tried to handle it more deeply so desired setting could be reached. Then I pushed 2,8GB/s out of this beast. I hope that my changes didn't break old working machines. Just try. There's /d debug switch so you can see detailed MTRRs settings and changes that my program does.
