Hello all,
I've been having trouble with Civ IV and Pirates! using the new GeForce 9600 GT I installed in my HP Pavilion m9040n. It's worst in Pirates! where I get horrible 'stuttering' when at sea that makes the game unplayable. For Civ IV it's not a deal breaker, but I get similar 'stuttering' when scrolling around particularly an area that isn't 'cached' from recent viewing.
In doing searches I've noticed others complaining about similar problems, often they seem to be using recent nVidia cards. I've actually created a thread complaining about the problem at the nVidia forums. If anyone else has experienced these issues please post there. I'm hoping to get their attention to get this fixed (pretty sure the fault lies with the nVidia drivers).
Has anyone had better luck with ATI cards? I'd hate to switch, but I want to play Pirates!, and Civ IV is my favorite game, so I want something that will work well with all the Firaxis games.
