XFX GT240 Anyone get this card to work with win7 64 pro?
I've been having nothing but problems, still cannot get anything working outside of 2 games with my system.

I just want to confirm has anyone else had problems with win7 64 pro and the XFX GT 240 1 GIG card?

Thanks

Well, I can't speak to the 3D scene, but I use one for PhysX and secondary monitors in Win7 Pro x64.

What games are giving you a problem, and maybe the 3D folks'll know what to do about it. You need to tell them a little more than just that you're having problems, like what issues you're facing, too...

I have tried:

Spore
Team Fortress 2 (Steam)
Warcraft 3
WoW (I actually had that working for 5 min once, so I think there are settings there that can be set)
Titan Quest
C&C 3 Red Alert

Only games I have ever had working:
Batman AA
Age of Empires 3
(also movie playing)

Sometimes I have to turn the 3d enable off and on again after playing a game.

I do run 3 monitors, and have a 7900GS as my secondary card for the 3rd montior.

Otherwise I really don't know what I've done different from everyone else.

Well, even outside of 3D I can tell you that a secondary monitor on the card will definitely affect your frame rates. Have you tried shifting it over to the third card? You'll lose any in-game multi-monitor that way, but may regain the 3D in the meantime...


Had to correct the SLI entry - too many threads open at once for me...

For sure there would be a hit, but I had the two monitors on the 7900 before and all was same old same old. There is something in my setup or the drivers that are stopping me from getting this working. Basically in the other games the 3D "mode" wants to activate, but I only get one "eye" working. Aka I'll only see the left eye's view and it slows down, which tells me its throwing only one perspective, read only one eye's view at 120Hz, versus two screens, right and left eye, interlaced together like it should.

When this happens I can take screenshots. Those are all in proper left/right 3D. So I can view in the picture viewer what I should be seeing on the screen

I just upgraded my card to the 470. I get teh same problem with all the games. No WOW in 3D, no nothing.

Only Batman AA and Age of Empires 3 will work in 3D, even though I can take screen shots of every other game in 3D it won't render properly. I know this is a driver 3D software issue. How do you clean everything out, and install what is needed to make these things run properly?????? I'm at my wits end here and completely fed up with this thing. There has to be something I can do to make sure it is a clean install and get this working.

Check the link in my sig to do a clean install. See if that helps.

Thanks for the link, I gave it a shot, and yes there was extra junk in there. So I installed "clean" and .... same problem

Games like Warcraft 3 should just work, the steam TF2 should work, but the glasses just don't turn on for those. It is in the 3D mode becaues I get the green text on the right hand side, but the glasses just won't activate

Just out of curiousity: has anyone got the 3d glasses working with any asus board? namely say the striker extreme I or later boards of that type?

I know this is a software problem, but has anyone had to reinstall directX or something to make their displays work properly? /pirate.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':pirate:' />
