Heya,
I currently play FF7 in software mode (and FF8 in hardware mode) but, I'm getting a Geforce FX5900 soon and was wondering:...
You can use detonator 43.45~45.33 on your fx5900. For FX series, new drivers like 5x.xx or 6x.xx are not compatible with PC version, so you have to use old drivers.
Sorry to drag up an oldish post, but this is something that interests me too. Currently running the ASUS v9560 128Mb GeForce FX 5600 card, with the nVidia 4.4.0.3 drivers that came packaged (I did upgrade to the latest ones, but they caused all sorts of problems, killing 800x600 res and eventually leading to a format)
I have to use software acceleration currently for FFVII. I did get one of the hardware config settings to work (think it was RIVA 128, no nVidia), but the last couple of times it blackscreened my PC and locked me out of Windows, forcing powerswitch reboot...
I downloaded detonator drivers 4.3.5.1 and 4.5.2.3, but am wary of installing them in case BAD THINGS happen to my computer. Any advice would be appreciated on this... should I be happy with software acceleration, or risk another format trying to get hardware acceleration working?
One more thing, how do you tell if nVidia drivers are detonator or other?
Other specs (if relevant) XP ProCorp, 512DDR, 2.6AMD, 1024x768
