Last I check GF 6600 is way beyond minimum requirement.
Not to mention that their test crashes when using Firefox. Pffft.

Winged Cat said:I tried Civ4 on my laptop, and got the black terrain bug as described elsewhere. I think my video card doesn't support T&L - it's a SIS M650, set up for 64 MB of video RAM (and 256 MB of texture buffer). But given as the game plays somewhat, and my computer is otherwise well in excess of the minimum specifications, I suspect the game would play (if slowly) with software T&L. (And it's not like this is a RTS, so the speed isn't as much of an issue.)
Maybe Firaxis could add software T&L as part of the next patch, to be used as a last-ditch option if hardware T&L fails, given how many people are having problems with the hardware T&L?
phybre said:To simplify the chart somewhat:
1. Every GeForce ever made supports hardware T&L.
2. Every Radeon ever made except the 7000 (aka Radeon VE) supports hardware T&L.
3. Most of the chart doesn't really matter at all, since you shouldn't use anything older than a [Radeon 9700 / GeForce FX] to play this game (both late 2002). No cards prior to these support DirectX 9. Every ATI and NVIDIA card made after these supports hardware T&L.

Civ4 cant seriously have higher hardware requirements...
I guess there will be a patch for graphic bugs like the black terrain and such.

Buying new hardware to try to run this game is like buying a ferarri to drive down a dirt road.

What potential problems could I have with one of these cards?

P.S. Sorry about the double post, I messed up.
