I bought a geforce 6600GT today, upgrading from my Geforce FX 5200.

After installing it correctly i then opened up Need For Speed Underground 2, i noticed that the graphics has large cracks on the car and surroundings (black patches) even on the low settings of which my old Gfx coped with perfectly.

I even opened up Farcry on very high and low settings and the same problem, however it works perfectly with Wolfenstein Enemy Territory.

System
AMD 2400+
512mb DDR PC2700
A motherboard :P
AGP 4x
80gb Hdd

I know the card is AGP 8x but its also compatible with 4x as ive read from many places, oh and the latest driver's


Thx for any replies :D

Hi
quick question
which latest drivers are you refering to?
nvidia have recognised an issue with 6600 drivers and released (yet) another update.
ver 66.93 has a load of fixes for farcry
nfs2 works fine on mine. have you done a completely clean install from the 5200 upgrade?

Hi

Try the latest beta drivers at Guru3d.com or nVidia. I have a 6600 GT myself and its working great the newest drivers after 66.93 contain a fix for a major problem.
