Problems with New Mac Pro and Nvidia 7300 GT Graphics card

Hi Torley,

Please help! Got a new Mac Pro, and its great, can have all the high settings on, rippled water, shiney etc.. Getting 70 FPS. But everytime I teleport anywhere graphics get so messed up. Theres a few people having the same problem in the Mac forums on here.

I went to the apple store, and they checked it out for me and said that Lindens will need to do a fix for it, and that the problems on this end not theirs. Live help told me to update my drivers, but you dont do that with macs.

I'm having lindens plants appear purple, Linden stone textures appearing multi coloured, bottom terrain textures appear as the top one, along with loads of other crashes and strange texture bugs. It's even stranger that the textures appearing, I dont even have in my inventory.

I'm a developer, and I've just spent a small fortune on a PC that should run SL at optinum level, but this makes it very hard to work.

I've attatched some screenshots of textures bugs so you can see. Go to Total Bliss island to see what things really should look like.

Can you please tell me if Lindens are aware of this yet? I know the new mac pro has only been out a few weeks. Is there a fix in the pipeline?

Leah! Oh no... I'm not previously familiar with this but what I'm going to do is move it to the right place, Mac Discussion, and it allows for replies. And I'll check with Brent Linden too because he knows a lot about Macs. I haven't heard of this issue myself and these Mac Pros are pretty new machines. I hope it does get better for you!

Here's some more insight:

I'm having issues too. The workaround I posted should help you out some until these bugs can be fixed.
