Graphics Card Quirk
« on: November 05, 2007, 12:01:09 am »
Got a Geforce 7600.  Came with the computer.  No complaints about it at all except for one tiny, niggling, problem:  Some older games, when I attempt to play them, the graphics turn all psychedelic and rainbow-ish.  Hit or miss on which games.

This sound like a driver problem?

I've had the same problem with older Games, like Tom Clancy's SSN. I think some of them are because of open GL instead of DX. I'll have to look into that thought to be sure.

Which OS.  Is it Vista or XP.  I've heard VISTA has some real problems with OpenGL, though it does sound like it otherwise could be a driver problem.
