Vista & nVidia... AGAIN!

Bindweed · 04-21-2009 06:29 AM

Without any real engagement of Brain, I've just bought a new PC that comes with Vista Home Premium 64 and the nVidia GeForce 9400 GT GPU 1GB card. Now I know that some people have had problems running CoX with some nVidia cards, and I know that some people have had problems running CoX with Vista. I've trawled the forum for past postings on all this but... well, you know what the forum software's like for running searches...

Anyway, I'd like to tap the expertise of the forum's mightiest brains and try to anticipate the kind of issues I might expect with this combination of possibly deadly technology, and hopefully receive some advice on how to carry on playing CoX in spite of nVidia and Microsoft

Or should I start making arrangements to cancel my subs now and go back to pinching my son's DS?

If you have problems with the graphics driver crashing whilst playing CoH (or other graphics intensive programs) then you should start with this thread: http://uk.boards.cityofheroes.com/sh...Number=1298903

And hopefully to put your mind at rest a bit I've been running a Vista 64bit/Nvidia 9800 GTX+ combo for a while now and it works perfectly (even in SLi mode, which it's not supposed to do apparently!).

If you get any probs that the Microsoft Hotfix doesn't...err...Hotfix then feel free to PM me and I'll try and help.

Ever wondered how our costumes stay so clean and shiny given everything we put them through?
