FX 5200 with "Dawn" - display problems

Hi

The "Dawn" demo is lovely, but would be marvelous as it was intended, if there weren't shafts of colour emanating from different parts of Miss Faery or the timber around her. I've tried altering some of the display properties and am getting nowhere very fast.

I'm hoping that someone here knows what this is - has seen it before and knows the fix.

I'm running XP home SP1 and the Nvidia driver version 5.3.0.3 is the most recent download.

I really want my pixie.

Requires a 5600 - and even that is kinda rough...

5200, weak card - not able to handle Dawn.

Hi Darthy,

Thanks. I wasn't hoping that much but complete corruption of the display by
these spurious shafts of colour is utter rubbish. NV say the 5200 should
support it. My guess is as you have said, rather badly.

Hmmm... I thought they labeled it for 5800 or better... when I DLed
and ran it on my 5900 test card. I've run DAWN on both the 5200 and
5900... it blew chunks on the 5200. Same computer - just swapped
cards.
