    Xp pro.

    All other games run perfectly.

    Well, Deus ex invisible war crashes after 5 minutes.

    New games run excellently.

    Are you getting bad framerates. I just threw it on my 8800GTX with XP Home and it seemed to be OK.

    I have a problem with my 8800GTX that maybe you can help me with if you have Far Cry. When I play Far Cry, things gets screwed up and not rendered right, instead of textures being where they should be, it just turns into black spots. Here are some pics of what I mean.

    yeah i dont think your 8800's are good enough to run games like farcry and call of duty. time to upgrade.

    .... if you want, i'll take it off of your hands for $20, save you guys some trouble
    :D

    I think so, hopefully we will see lots of maturation in the drivers. I also get weird colors sometimes when there is in game video. Black will be black with green and purple, may be my monitor a little bit, but I think it may be a driver issue as well

    By all means, please do, I'll even part with it for $5. Although even at that price I feel like I would be getting the better end of the bargain. :p

    When I first bought my 6600GT, I got those blank textures in Far Cry too. Took about a month for nVidia to fix it.

    I'm part of a COD clan and one of the members had trouble with the 8800gts. He eventually figured out that he had to download some "nHancer" thing or something and it fixed his problem. I'm not familiar with nVidia, so I have no idea what this is.
