I wonder if it has to do with PCI express drivers instead of videodrivers?
Well that leads to a serious new point. It seems to be DirectX 10 or the new generation graphics cards way of dealing with it which doesn't bode well for peoples hopes of a fix for the subsequent series... I thought DirectX was supposed to be backwards compatible? If it is backwards compatible, then structure of the cards are preventing it... or something (note: not a tech head...)
It has really nothing to do with DX10 completely, I run a DX10.1 ATi card (HD3850) on my portable game computer, and indoors run just fine. As for the 2600XT, beats me, you might want to driver clean your nvidia stuff off *shrug*For those who want to go "Oh! you're running 10.1!" It doesn't matter
"The spec revision basically makes a number of things that are optional in DX10 compulsory under the new standard - such as 32-bit floating point filtering, as opposed to the 16-bit current. 4xAA is a compulsory standard to support in 10.1, whereas graphics vendors can pick and choose their anti-aliasing support currently." http://www.theinquirer.net/en/inqui...ith-101-upgrade
Remember. DX9 in Vista is not DX9 in XP. Different files and the like. To even take advantage of 10.1 stuff, you have to develop the application for Vista using 10.1 API calls.Its still just the 8 series cards & their XP driver.

As I ran a preliminary test with a HD3850 on XPSP2 and experienced some of the same issues as with the 8xxx series Nvidia cards.
