GeForce 6800 installed.. not all demos work?

[03DSGSnake]

I just installed my Geforce 6800 card today (PNY) into my new case. For the time being I'm using my old mobo with a Pentium 4 2GHz and 512 RDRAM.

I made sure to install the latest drivers (from Nvidia's site) and everything works fine.

The CD came with Dawn, Nalu, and Timbury demos.

Dawn works fine. When I try to open Nalu or Timbury, the loading screen comes up, then after a minute or so it plays the music and leaves a white window on the screen.

Nvidia's site says the 3 work with the GeForce 6800, so I don't think I need a GT or Ultra to run them.

Am I missing something here? BTW, all the performance settings are maxed out under Performance&quality save for anti-aliasing which is at 4x per the read me with Dawn.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

hmm,

What version of display drivers?
You need v61.76 or higher to run these demos.
Are you using WINXP?

Yeah I'm running XP. I'm using 61.77? I downloaded from Nvidia's site.

I was reading a FAQ on Nvidia where someone mentioned OpenGL games did not always work when the card was setup for a dual monitor. I went back to single monitor and Nalu and Clear Sailing 6800 demos work, but they are very slow and choppy, even with ALL of the performance options turned down. It performs the same as with the options turned all the way up :mad:

Try updating your chipset drivers.

Where can I get those from? Wouldnt that be the latest from Nvidia?

You can find out what motherboard you have and where to get updated drivers with a free system information tool called AIDA32. Since you do not have an nForce based motherboard, the latest from Nvidia would not work.
