**AussieDave** · 14th June 2006, 08:04 PM

Be interested to know they type of rigs that people use. Now that PKR have introduced their beta testing of their 3D virtual poker.

I've been playing with a ATI Mobility Radeon X300 and have had no issues whatsoever. My laptop also has a 1gb of RAM.

I have seen the PKR software cause some real issues with some graphics cards though - actually crashing the PC...

I've just updated to a GeoForce 6800 256mb agp8 and thre in a gig of corsair ddr. PKR was buggy on my other card 5200 (nvidia) but PKR said they were working on a patch or fix around for nvidia cards. That was 6 weeks ago and still no word?

Haven't bothered to test it out though, no point if it's still going to crash my system.

Workaround for nvidia cards??

Seems the programmers didn't even think about problems with one of the most popular line of video cards around when they created the PKR software....OOPS.

My thoughts exactly, a pretty stupid screw up in a major way.

Plus not everyone has a high end PC, well, at least the type that needs to run PKR smoothly and void of screen shudder.

Reminds me of the 28.8 modem days of AOL when their program didn't like modems with Hayes chips on them...Most everyone froze up when trying to upload files...

Same with Nvidia, Hayes chips were on quite a majority of modems at that time.

Now that's a trip down memory lane. Not that I used AOL, but, the 28.8 modem days...lol. Winbig were you around pre WWW back in the bulletin board days?

Yep, and we had c64's & TRaSh80's in high school

I started on AOL @ 2400bps....1 hour/MB

Looks like the team at PKR are having real issues with the graphics cards as they are still not live on the real money tables.

All rather quiet....

Or maybe not...

Just installed PKR on my new system

, played some, and it works great. My videocard has the nvidia chipset too, so I'm not sure what the issues are..

System specs:

AMD 3500+ 64bit (2.2GHz)
1024MB DDR400 (dual channel)
gforce 7300GS video, 512MB DDR2, pciexpress16
320GB SATA2 (3g/s) Seagate, 16mb buffer
XP Home (not 64bit)

Yes, it's somewhat of a monster, so maybe that's why it works for me
