At some point in the savage4 line, the cob index bitfield of the cob register changed. you card may be affected. There are two things you can try: 1. try the "disableCOB" option, however this will impact performance. 2. change psav->cobIndex from 7 to 2 in savage_driver.c if 2 fixes it it's gonna be tough to figure out when savage4s need a cobIndex of 7 and which need 2. perhaps we can figure out the revision and add that and check against it. we could also add a cobIndex override config option.
