GeForce video issues

by Jason McIntosh · in Torque Game Builder · 10/04/2006 (5:55 am) · 4 replies

I'm getting lots of reports of problems with some GeForce cards using TGB 1.1.1. The cards involved include:

NVIDIA GeForce4 420 Go
NVIDIA GeForce 6800
NVIDIA GeForce Go 6800 Ultra
NVIDIA GeForce FX 5500

Reported problems are vague, but include:
Quote:"It locked up my entire dual-core system the first time I opened it but started fine after I rebooted."

"Would not load properly"

"Wasn't able to play - received the error message 'nVidia OpenGL Driver; Driver component mis-match. Exit is only option.'"

Are there any known issues with those cards?

Thanks!

There might be issues with dual cores unrelated to the video card, I know TGE had lots of issues with them. Usually that could be resolved with a driver patch from the processor vendor. Mobile cards tend to be sketchy with drivers, do you know the status of the drivers for those ones? Elsewise I don't think I've seen any of those cards running it, but I'm sure some people around here have them.

I don't know the status of the drivers for the machines. What I quoted above is pretty much all the info I got. Thanks for the help!

For what its worth, I'm having TONS of problems on a notebook with GeForce Go 7150m trying to run Torque3D.

Even the EMPTY template is very, very slow.... probably about 7 fps. Very choppy.

I just updated the drivers. No change.

system specs
2008 HP Pavillion laptop (dv6000 model) . its only 2 years old.
2 Gigs DDR2 RAM
Nvidia GeForce Go with 793 MB shared video memory available
Dual Core AMD Athlon X2
DirectX 10

this same laptop runs TGE fine, very fast. And can play most retail commercial PC games.

I updated the drivers , like I said, but still no luck.
If it can't even play the "EMPTY" demo without slowdown, I imagine its a card issue. I have more than enough VRAM.

the GPU is a DX9 pre shader gpu, not DX10.

You should get much better performance if you don't set it to run in directx actually. (the rendering of TGB is exactly TGE rendering - so the exactly same dx performance problems exist)
