Just got this card. Graphics calibrate OK, but no race. Screen just goes blank when the track should load. Had a similar problem with NASCAR 4 under Direct3D, but when I switched to open GL the game ran fine. I don't have that option with GP3. I have the latest detonator drivers installed and as far as Windows update is concerned, the latest Direct X8. Has anybody else heard of this issue or have any suggestions? -- Mike
What version detonator drivers are you using? Might want to try 12.90 or even 14.10 as both are now WHQL http://www.guru3d.com/download/ Bob Mike Bara wrote:

Although the drivers on guru3d say they are 12.90 WHQL, in fact they are 12.40. Don't use them anyway, as you don't get the same control with WHQL, none of the nvidia tabs, including o/clocking. The best in my opinion so far are the non-certified 12.90. Iain "Bob Geddes" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > What version detonator drivers are you using?

I'm using 1241 detonators. Where can I get the "real" 12.90 drivers? -- Mike "Iain Mackenzie" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:UCof7.890$[email hidden]... > Although the drivers on guru3d say they are 12.90 WHQL, in fact they are > 12.40.
