There is no "official" 67.66 driver at Nvidia.com. :confused: KC

Originally posted by Treeburst155: Err, I don't see it in anything but the trees. I've got a scenario I'm playing that is covered with trees, the 'shimmering...jaggies' are evident, at all settings, even with the camera 'in the tree'. I can send anyone a turn if that will help. KC

I'm not sure it's funky or not. All I have to compare the 6600gt was the G3Ti200 it replaced. I assure you that the 'shimmering' effect I had with the G3 is still annoyingly present with the 6600GT, no matter the settings. For me this 'shimmering' is most noticeable when scrolling through trees(scattered or woods) at low levels while trying to find the next hole for my guys to hide in. I had assumed that the 'shimmering' affect was due to my having a low end card, now, I presume that other than 'fog' Nvidia holds no advantage over ATI when it comes to CM. Again though, what amazes me is that every other game I play has improved dramatically in visual clarity. < shrug> sh*t happens...every day. KC

I'd try going to The Proving Grounds or another custom scenario site and ask your question, that's where most of the scenario designers hang out at. KC

Originally posted by Treeburst155: *disclaimer*This not a CM slam*disclaimer off* I'm feeling the same angst. Most of the other games(old or new) I play have shown vast improvement in video quality. CM isn't improving, if anything it is getting 'visually' worse. I wonder what machine the game was developed on, I seem to remember it was on a Mac. Could this explain many of the nagging minor issues many are having with this game(s)? KC

Ahhh, that must be the difference. The Seagate HD in the office is at least 3 years old. (3) 200 gb. HDs?? :eek: :eek: I'm getting by nicely with my teenie weenie 80 gb., you must edit video or dl lots and lots of music? KC

Not to argue..but! The PC in my office has a Seagate w/8mb buffer , it is louder and clunkier than the WD I have here at home. Seagate, IMO, is overrated and overpriced. KC

My friend, if you can afford #2....go for it!! KC

That was my point, it's a shame that *this* is as good as gets. KC

I did as you suggested...didn't change a thing. Wonder why it is so difficult to get these games to look good? Oh well, eye candy it's not and never will be, hard to believe this is as good as gets though. KC

I've the same problem, but, I just shrugged and figured all the OTHER games are vastly improved, CM, well, this must be as good as it gets. Coding problem with CM? :confused: KC

Yup, definately the 8mb buffer! KC

I recently upgraded to "exactly" what you have except for the WD HD and the vid card and all runs perfectly. I had the WD 80JB for over a year prior to the upgrade and have never had a problem with it. For the video card I went with a Nvdia 6600 GT which I got from Tiger Direct for $265.00Cdn after rebates. Good card so far. One thing, make sure you've got a good power supply with some extra headroom. KC

Get the 64M. Think CMx2. KC

Version 1.03 is the last patch available for CMAK I'm not sure which version you have. Check the lower right corner of the start screen for version identification. Any version is o'k when playing solo, but when playing another human you have to have the same version. Just about everyone is playing version 1.03(I think). It is available here KC
