Hardware compatiibility problems

[6sik6]

Hello peoeple if youre reading this now i have a question about a certain problem that many players on el have had and still are. Many of my friends and i have had problems finding a good video card for the el client. We have tested many and determined that nividia is the way to go normally. But even then its not a guarantee currently my cousin and i are running a nividia 7600 series and a nividia 9800 series. They seem to work well. I have had many problems with ati video cards as many probably have. But sometimes certain ati cards work as well. i just dont get what in the game has made this occur. The graphics are mediocre at most so wuts up? I recently bought an hp desktop computer, it has a nividia 5800 series and just wont play el for its life lol. So does the Nividia idea go out the window or what? Its pretty sad when a desktop computer with a nividia card cant run el. But an hp laptop with onboard video can play it perfectly. Id very much appreciate it if someone could enlighten my cousin and i on this phenominon lol. Id also like to ask if this problem can be fixed. And if it can be will it? Thanks for your time i appreciate it.

Just a quick question:

On the new desktop machine, did you make sure you updated the drivers?

[6sik6]

we tryed to update the cards drivers yes.

we tryed to update the cards drivers yes.

So, you went to www.nvidia.com and searched for drivers for your card/chip?

Did you find new drivers and install them?

Was it this driver version?:

(assuming WinXP)

 

I can assure you EL does work on nVidia 5xxx series cards, so it's not EL's problem, it's drivers or something else at your end.
