Blue <b>VIP Member</b> Oct 29, 2005 #8 Why does it only recognise my Fx5900 as a direct x8.1 card Click to expand... As explained by mrjack. The game has issues with those cards. Problem is Nvidia dropped the ball with it's FX line of cards. They fought and struggled to catch up with ATi. Last edited: Nov 4, 2005
