Sure you don't want to try an ATI after what you just had to deal with? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6814150394
I don't buy ATI/AMD on principle due to their shitty Linux drivers (despite the open specifications now!) and their weird implementations nobody can cope with. If there's a workaround in some for some graphical bug, it's because of ATI 
We will miss you Spelly, but if you think it is better for you... was nice to talk to you and stuff mate.
Take care, all the best. Wise man Spelly
Quote from DUFFYnice find. whats the legality of this? would suck if it's just shut down in a week.
It's been up and running for over a year now, so until now, nobody's been complaining yet.
If I don't find any other explanation for this, buying a new graphics card might be the best long term solution after all, also considering that I've been using this graphics card for 2 years now.
EDIT: Rolled back my drivers, working fine now obviously. Windows has so good support I have to admit...
Can anybody recommend me a good Nvidia card people use these days? Not necessarily top high end, but still something with enough power for newer games and some retarded high poly modelling 
What's your graphics card? ... I have heard similar complaints in the past about NVidia graphics drivers causing a ton of problems a couple generations ago, a friend of mine couldn't get his Geforce 7 to work at all without some ooooold old legacy drivers, anything remotely modern at the time wouldn't work.
Geforce 7950GX2. Explains apparently a lot. Will do some diagnostic checks just in case...
*bump*
Hello world from Linux...
Updated my drivers because a game produced some nasty artifacts due to some incompatibilities of the old drivers I was using. I basically had reinstalled Windows and then tried out a bunch of drivers again and again and again and again until I came to the conclusion that the only drivers which would work without problems are the first ones to support my graphics card. Said and done afterwards: Installed those, and it worked. Until I stumbled upon some artifacts which forced me to update.
Guess what now: I have the same problem. Again. So, anybody had something similar before? Anybody got any advice?
Quote from Pampersas long as it doesnt turn out like turbosquid where people put out porly unwrapped cubes and sell them for $30 bucks <__<
It will. Truse me 
I won't pay 10$ each for Zone Control, Lurker Defense, Zerg Arena (or whatever it was called) and the like. That's just bullsh**.
*shakes head* Well, this happens in the age of Xbox Live and Live Market. Unevitable in my opinion. :-| Even though I'd really pay for something of really high quality, it really narrows the spectrum of maps and mods I'd be able to acquire and play imho, which is nonsense - destroys quite a big part of the modding spirit.
So Diablo moved to Asia and became... Guild Wars?

No careface at all 
Well, it is Fallout, Bioshock, Motor Storm, Quake, Doom, Unreal and Sonic Adventures in one game after all... right?
I think an investment in a new machine in the next 2 years might pay off
Quote from duxOh god.
Nicely done textures And even GPLv3... awesome
Someone posts something actually useful and people stop caring
@ Back on topic: You might ask here, although the activity has gone down a bit the past few months, you will still receive some positive responses. However, you should be aware that your concept isn't new at all, it is already being practiced by numerous free (as in freedom)/open source game projects, some of lesser, a few of quite high quality (such as Wesnoth, many projects resolving around TA: Spring, Unknown Horizons, OpenTTD, S.C.O.U.R.G.E., etc.). You'll definitely find supporters inside those kind of communities and projects. Many of those projects don't reach a playable state at all, since all of them are hobby projects and most of them lack commitment or people in general. The projects I mentioned on the other hand are very active and either in a playable state or on their way. What should be mentioned though is that those projects don't enjoy support by experienced or professional game developers (in any way).
The only difference between your concept and the concept of FOSS development is that everything (or at least the code) is supposed to be free as in freedom, where everything is legally settled with Open Source/Creative Commons licensing and stuff. But again, that kind of stuff doesn't have a good reputation at all around professional game developers. *cough*
You haven't heard of the concept of free/open source software, have you? 
This is actually the funniest one (split into three parts). The other ones are only moderately funny
