Hi there,
Ive just got quake 4, got it installed and have been trying to load it.
Thing is, it'll just crash to the desktop when starting up. Ill get to the grey screen and itll just crash.

could it possibly be because im using the 28.32 nvidia drivers?

Its difficult trying to find drivers that will work with my card. The latest ones wont store the colour settings or let me use the video out on my GF3 which sucks cock.

Since the latest ones are 81.94 yeah, I'd say its about time to update :icon27:

What decent card that can handle Q4 well costs $50?

A geforce 6800 at newegg costs $170+ and its not exactly going to beat Q4 into submission.

Fair enough, but if you got that for $50 can you point me in the direction of the truck you got it off of? :p
