Hi hi Guys and Gals,

I just got a new video card (club3D HD4670 1gig agp) for more SL sweetness but to my great frustration is doesnt seem to be recognized by sl, it gives me the not suported or outdated mesagge. I tried dl the newest driver and reinstallingit, tried other viewers but nothing seem to work.
Anyone out there has a sollution for me? i would be very gratefull

sinserly,

Probably because it is an AGP card on a modern chipset (not very common). Just ignore the message and login.

Maybe a dumb question, but have you installed the driver hotfix from the Club3D web site?

Then you have driver issues. Try another 3D game and see if it works.

I am having the same issues with a Gateway laptop with an ATi Radeon Xpress 200M vid card. The 'requirements' page lists this card as untested. I can't get it to run SL even though this little laptop rocks on most other apps.

One thing to check is OpenGL drivers.

lack of ATI support

It won't matter what drivers or hot-fixes you put in, LL refuses to support the ATI cards. It's been this way for years, and I really don't see it changing any time before the company gets sold off to someone else.

You've got it backwards.

Those with machines with AGP slots considering upgrading their old machine should give serious thought to replacing it instead.
