DirectX 9.0c Dec 2005

Outstanding product. After install my eVga Nvidia 6800 GT has texture breakup in DirectX. Of course there's no rollback. So what now, repair to WinXP from CD and reinstall all updates, SP2, etc What a pain in the butt.

    You can uninstall the DirectX SDK (December 2005). You can't uninstall the DirectX 9.0c runtime, but the runtime included in the SDK is the exact same version as included with Windows XP SP2.

    Rollback successful. Of course it doesn't matter now because I'm upgrading to a 7 series NVidia card (hope that one works on the Dec DirectX because it will undoubtably get forced into the system by a new game in the near future).

    On a completely different note - the beta 2 of IE7 rocks.

    Obviously not. I was already on the latest driver for my card. Once I rollback into the shipped version I'll be sure and post the result (that it fixed my problem - count on it). This isn't my first day at the rodeo. I've been in I.T. since 1982. The version ending .904 just doesn't fly on my system.

    Rolling back the OS for something like this isn't a sensible idea. WinXP SP2 is used by many thousands (if not millions ) of people - if there were a serious problem *with the OS* that resulted in texture corruption on a popular GPU it would have been addressed (or you'd be able to find lots of online discussion about it).

    I would recommend you grab the latest Nvidia drivers direct from them (http://www.nvidia.com) - the manufacturers of the actual Nvidia-based hardware tend to be a number of driver revisions behind.

    9.0c has been around for over a year now, so the drivers should have matured by now. If you're still seeing problems then contact the vendor and/or Nvidia.

    You are seeing problems with your drivers from NVidia/EVGA, _not_ from the SDK (I also have the EVGA card and see similar problems). You will find these artifacting problems discussed at length on EVGA's discussion group:
