Quoted from the Nvidia GeForce 8800 thread by art.
I am not running Vista and recently upgraded from an Nvidia GeForce 7900 GS 256 mb card, to an ATI Radeon HD 2600 512 mb card. Under the GeForce, most everything worked except for artifacting occasionally, or pixel pulling, or totally sending polygons on my screens to totally locking up and freezing my system.
To remedy this problem, I tried many things, new drivers, factory drivers etc. Nothing worked.
MxO was not the only one having issues, it was most all of my games - so I decided it was my card.
Enter this beauty of a card: ATI Radeon 2600 HD, 512 mb.
Artifacting, pixel pulling etc. all fixed.
Now...
I have to deal with non loading textures, such as the issues art is having. Most of my FM-1100 type weapons are totally black, I mean - no texture at all, just a black blob shaped like an FM-1100, 900 etc. Kessay type weapons are the same, totally black frame with no detailed textures.
All clothing has a burnt look to them, and lost their 'shiny' luster. Widow's Moor Glasses are burnt, and most textures on buildings (even entire buldings sometimes) fail to render. I.E being the church in Mara - it takes a while.
If you all need the dxinfo and such, let me know - I'll post it with screenshots as well.
After installing Vista I totally got rid of indoor lag. Though, as was expected, I have the following Vista bugs now:
- Face Details (even with shadow turned off)
- Texture issues with multiple weapons, NPC's and fem cloth items
- everything gets messed up when I alt+tab
But hey, at least im able to run missions! From now on I will post in the Vista Issue thread.
