NVidia Graphics issue

**GenericName** · 11-01-2007, 23:58

I'm using an NVidia GForce 7300 GT, and I get severe graphical glitches before EB crashes completely. I've tried updating my drivers, tweaking the hardware acceleration, and no luck.
So - is anyone using an NVidia 7 series graphic card with EB? And if so, which driver version are you using?

I'm using am NVidia GeForce2 MX/MX 400'm getting graphic glitches as well, infact I can't even start a campaign.

Just a bit more info... RTW vanilla runs fine, no graphics errors, no artifacts, etc. The graphics issues I'm encountering with EB start within about 30 seconds of starting a campaign, and I've had it crash a couple of times now in the options menus, prior to even starting a game.
This is my second install of EB and RTW, and the EB Validation program is telling me that my installation is good.

Ive got a 7950GT running 163.71 and have had no problems at all

Have you tried to increase your swap file, and the other technical tips linked in the validation thread?

Yes, I followed the tips in the link provided, minus switching my anti-virus software to AVG. No dice.

Gents, thanks for the help. Turned out to be a bad video card - just installed a new one, and EB runs beautifully. Wonderful job on the mod, by the way - it looks and feels much more finished than it did before.

Oh dear god. Where did you get that from, the British Museum?
I think you should consider an upgrade, even a very cheap budget card today should be a huge improvement over that. It's no wonder EB won't run on it.

Has been only two month I got a new computer, a brand new one from the HP trademark, the best on market yet besides one mounted especially for you, containning with a Pentium D 925, 1GB DDR2 RAM, a 250 SATA HD, and only a ATI Radeon Xpress 1100 graphic ... So the museum may be the entire industry depending in wich country they are working, I am convinced they use the spare parts of EUA an Europes yore

, a decent Graphic card, say a G-force 8900 series would cost about 1/3 the price of the above described machine

Well a Geforce 8900 is not necessary for EB, but Geforce 2 MX is, well, not good. It's a budget model from around 2000 I think. If that was the best hardware available to me I would be like this a lot of the time:
