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.

That should be fine for those vidcards.

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.

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.

one question concerning your discussion with John about RBR I just
bought for my sun, how I can find out what vid card is in my computer
and if it supports pixel shading or not. I had the same problem as John
with RBR.

They move to wherever they are comfortable, and sit with whoever they choose.
Provide trays so your guests will not spill everything all over your house from

and if a healthy young limb is at hand, then don?t hesitate to cook
it to perfection!

Marinate meat (optional, not necessary with better cuts).
Season liberally and lace with garlic cloves by making incisions,
and placing whole cloves deep into the meat.
Grease a baking pan, and fill with a thick bed of onions,
celery, green onions, and parsley.
Place roast on top with fat side up.
Place uncovered in 500� oven for 20 minutes, reduce oven to 325�.
Bake till medium rare (150�) and let roast rest.
Pour stock over onions and drippings, carve the meat and
place the slices in the au jus.

If I remember correctly pixel shading came in with DirectX 8, your card
needs to be compatible. So, on the desktop right click and select
'properties' then 'settings' then 'advanced' then 'adapter'. The adapter
name should be there.
Then go to the manufacturers web site and see how they describe that card,
in terms of which version of DirectX it is compatible with or they may even
satate that it supports pixel shading.
If you want to email me just take out one of the '0's to reply.
