    AL 7.2 and nvidia GTS8800

    Can anyone confirm this card works OK with AL 7.2?

    If not, what should I be using in a new system?

    Putting together Q6600 cpu, 4gb ram, P35 mobo, XP pro.

    Cheers

    No. There are issues with this card. It is being worked on but the resolution may take awhile yet. I would recommend you go with an ATI card at this time. Do a search of the forum, there are many threads on this.

    Does anyone know if the new 8800 GT card has the same issues as the GTS and GTX?

    I believe that there are issues with all of the 8800 series of cards. Liquid really does work well with ATI cards. It also works well with the 7 series of cards from Nvidia, along with the Quadrofx cards (I have the Quadrofx 3450)

    As Mark said, there are issues with those nVidia cards. The problem is complex. It appears the Liquid 3D render engine needs to be re-written to work correctly with those cards. At the moment, there are also no good workarounds. I cannot give you a date when the patch will be released to fix this but Munich is working on it right now so hopefully soon. At the present time, you should avoid these cards with Liquid.
