I have this card and it seems to work well for SL. As far as the black waters with shaders turned on... can't help you on that one since I don't have shaders switched on... lol. Good card though at a good price. |

If Duncan does not get to it I may be able to test this for you tomorrow, but not tonight. I have the 8400GS in a PCI express x16 slot driving a standard VGA LCD at max resolution. Absolutely no problems with SL but I've never used the option that you mentioned, as far as I know anyway. Jackie.

My 8600 gives black water... I just have the shaders turned off and am resigned to the fact that it's something to do with the drivers and it'll be fixed eventually....

If you're getting black water or black land under the water, are you running (or have you used) dual monitors?
What version of the drivers are you using? _____________________

You do know when Nvidia adds "GS" to a card name they mean "Gutted Severely"....
