    Hey guys, I want to run my Geforce 6800 demos on my 8400M GS: http://www.nvidia.com/page/6800_demos.html

    Tried the 8800 demos and it runned veryyyy slow,but look amazing! Any idea why the 6800 demos are not working?

    to test out the graphics ofcourse, Nvidia has some pretty nice demos. Pretty nice to show off.

    My guess would be that since Vista wasn't out when the 6800 was around and since they were older demos, they were not updated for Vista's release.

    Have you tried the nVidia Human Head demo? That one is sweet, but it will really tax your card! ;)
