ATI is OK, old ATI is not.

uhm.. how the heck will it help him ?

Btw, the problem is not with only old ati cards, x800's are also having problems. Dont bother updating drivers, it wont help.

X800 should work fine. Just wait for the patch/driver update.

I have to agree with the original poster. Civ4 is not nearly as graphic/resource intensive as WoW or any other modern game. It's a fairly static map that can be zoomed, nothing more.

Based on the problems posted here at he board, I would blame it on poor coding. There's really no excuse that the program won't work on ATI 95xx upwards.

Maybe they should've increased the basic system requirements.
