Are there still issues with GeForce 8 cards? |
Just considering a video card upgrade (not like I really need one, but if I wind up receiving cash as a Christmas present from several people, I honestly don't know what else to do with it 
) and I was looking at some of the GeForce 8 video cards, specifically the 8600GTS. I was just wondering if there were still any issues with SE5 running on GeForce 8 cards, or have those been resolved? I currently have a GeForce 7300GS, and haven't had much problem with SE5 (just an occasional flicker, which seems to have been fixed in patch 1.58 or 1.63), but before I go upgrading I want to make sure any new card I buy doesn't prevent me from playing SE5!

The issue is more with Nvidia's Vista drivers than the 8xxx cards per se. My 7300go has horrible flicker fullscreen in Vista, for example.

My new machine came with vista. It lasted about a week before I went to a dual boot config with XP. I haven't booted into vista for months.

Strange, I run SEV fine in fullscreen on Vista64 with a GF8800 GT (using a TFT screen)

strange.. i also run fine on both vista32 with an 8800gtx and vista64 with a 7900go.. my only issue is that in windowed mode, it gets a white screen in the window if i alt-tab to something else

Hi ekolis,
All I can tell you is that I have an 8800GTS and have never had any video issues with SE5 except that it doesn't like activating/deactivating a dual monitor. I believe that this is a directX issue and not related to the video card per se.
