GeForce4-Ti4400, runs about 3 or 4 turns if I'm lucky before graphical corruption and crash. Better than the 2 turns definite prior to driver update but not by much.
There are roughly twice more ATI cards here, than NVIDIA, yet more than half ATI cards can not run CIV 4 and most of NVIDIA cards runs just fine.
Similar situation happens again and again with various games. This is why I always chose NVIDIA over ATI. Performance is about the same, but NVIDIA drivers are more stable. This has been for years.
The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so
certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.

x800 and working fine... I"m noticing a lot of people who're suffering from card trouble/bad performance are running the game with very marginal cards, seems like. Not all of them, but a lot.

Intro movie hiccups every 2 or so seconds, some info screens have a longer delay before popping up. I play on low/medium settings of course. Didn't construct wonders sofar so no info yet on wonder movies.
And there seems to be an issue with the yield overlay in the city -and game screen. Only food shows.
Had to upgrade my graphic driver with one my portable manufacturer provided, the drivers aren't updated by nVidia themself.

"People hitting problems with ATI, there is a fix posted elsewhere on this site that deals with "initializing renderer" problems people have hit."
Nope, sorry, tried that already. It didn't work.
I have a ATI Radeon 9550 AGP Graphics Card with 256MB Memory, Version 6.14.0010.6575, run on a 768 RAM Dell Pentium 4 2.4 Ghz Processor.
I originally had a NVidia 440MX GeForce 4 AGP8X Graphics Card, but replaced it with this Radeon one, hoping that would solve the problem. Its looking like a big mistake right now. Any ideas?
On the other hand, I have weird VPU Recover errors occasionally.... not the one documented here... they are indeed occasional, not unique to this game, and don't even always crash me out of Civ 4... They also happen in Rome: Total War and there they do crash the game... they are pretty occasional, though, not frequent.
*nod* Agreed. Still, it's a high number. And it does show that there are a lot more ATI people with problems then nVidia, but it seems it's not directly linked to a spesific chipset.
I'm betting it's an issue with people not insalling new drivers correctly. And a few obscure hardware conflicts.

update: my geforce4 mx440 is a little sluggish, but it works with one exception.
The floodplains (as mentioned by someone else) can be seen through the fog as little strips of grassy areas.
Not major, but gives away the location of floodplains.
While there might be a physics engine that applies to the jugs, I doubt that an entire engine was written specifically for the funbags. - Cyclotron - debating the pressing issue of boobies in games.
