So I have an OLD Nvidia 6600GT that I haven't gamed with in quite a while. In a moment of nostalgia I thought it'd be cool to play some Civilization. I had never played Civilization IV and I found it online for 5 bucks so I figured, why not?
Started playing and about 5 minutes later my computer locked up. Rebooted, tried to play again and I get artifacting in the game. Great. Tried the latest Nvidia driver, same problem. Poked around in the Nvidia control panel and found this.
Furmark did the same thing.
I'm thinking the card has just bit the dust for 3D stuff but I thought I'd check on here to see if anyone had any better ideas...
