When I try to start RBR I get the following error message after the
intro, and then I am bounced back to the desktop. Does anyone have any
idea what is causing this.

Error creating pixal shader: Pixelshaders/General/CarglassInternal.pso

What video card are you using? RBR needs a vid card that supports pixel
shading.

Damn! I hate when I buy a game and realize I need a new vid card! That's
what always forces me to upgrade.

ATI 9800 Pro or Nvidia 5900. What's your CPU like, you need to process the
data fairly quickly for high end Vid cards. Avoid any card labelled SE I
believe they're low spec versions.

That should be fine for those vidcards.

The new ATI x700 and nVidia 6600 should be available very soon in that price
range.  If you'd like a new card right away then a Radeon 9800 Pro is
probably your best bet.

Just a note: The PCI-express versions of 6600/X700 should be available
very soon, AGP version are a couple of months away, at least...

The 9800Pro-route would be almost as good though, and probably a
little cheaper.

whats your psu like? u really need a minimum 350 watts depending if your
running 2 hd\s ,dvd`s etc. these new gfx cards take they`re power from your
psu so extra umph needed or else you will get probs. i have a 350 and 2
hd`s, 2 dvd`s but i leave my dvd burner unplugged until i need it to save
on power, can still give lockups etc from lack of juice,i really need 400+
for a 100% stable system. good luck, same upgrade as mine,gf2 gts lasted me
for 5 years and is still a great card for a low end system.

Thanks for all the replies. The 9800 sounds good but one thing wories
me and that is how noisy are these Video cards & how much power do
they take

ATI's are generally quieter than Nvidia but you wouldn't hear the difference
unless you had both to compare. The 9800 will require a 4 pin power
connection.

You can get some very good silent VGA coolers these days if things get too
noisy. Mind you if you're playing RBR you won't hear a thing from your PC if
your speakers are working properly ;-)

    You might want to get a 400watt PS if you don't have one. I have seen a
few people
blow their 300Watt or get poor performance out of their video card as a
result of the
power being low.

Review at HardOCP or whatever that site is, says the AGP version should be
150-225 range.  might be worthe the wait?
