Today I just got my 6600GT AGP version and intalled it.
I had a ASUS Geforce 4 TI 4200 and was using just the normal Nvidia drivers, I though that sence I was using the Nvidia drivers I would have no problem just upgrading the card by slaping in the new one. Well I put it in and windows has no problems a reset latter and everything looks great.
Go to play my first game, Far Cry and its running horrible. so I quit that and try UT2004 get in Blue Screen Drivers crash, I was running the 66 drivers from Nvidia with my geforce 4. So I decide to just format and start over, I need to anyway.
So I get the computer back up and running after the reformat, and install Far Cry again, now running the newest drivers from Nvidia, that I downloaded from the net. I get in the game Max out the setting like I have seen my friends do with their 9600's and the game proply crasheds, makes a shrill sound out of the speakers and the reset buttion wont make the video come back after the reboot. Had to hold the power and completely power off before I got video again. So I install UT2004, too see if I get the same problems, nope, went to the settings Maxed out the graphics and starting stomping the bots. Ran great. So I quit out and reinstall Far cry thinking that I messed something up nope Still wont work with what ever I try, slamed the graphics still wont work. So I decited to play UT again, this time though I went a tweeked a few setting that I like, but dont change anything grahicly, exept I changed the rez from 800x600 to 1024x768 which the card should be able to handle, my Geforce 4 did it with everything on normal. But as soon as I did that and went back out to the main menu and started picking my level to play the game crashed just like it did in Far Cry
So now I dont know what to do. Is it the Drivers, the Card? should I try reinstalling windows again?
Windows looks and runs great its just the games that crash.
