    Try increasing your AGP aperture and/or reducing the resolution.

    I've tried running this on my 6800 Ultra with the 61.77 drivers and it basically says unknown shader version 3.0. I've tried reading through this whole thread and didn't see any solution to this ( might have missed it maybe? ). Anyone know what to do, besides reverting back to a driver version with disabled SM3.0?

    erk, I got home from university and turned my brain on. I just forced sm2.0 in riva tuner and it solved the problem. A SM3.0 version would be nice though ;p

    Has anyone found a solution to the colour bleeding on the Nvidia cards ( "the mark of the beast")? It looks like it occurs on the areas which should be brigthly lit and its going out of range. I know this is getting a bit redundant as the demo has been out and running forever, but I'm still interested for some arbitrary reason.

    Hrm? It sounds like you're talking about the intentional result of the overbright lighting in the demo....

    Someone posted a pic of it earlier, in the areas where I believe the spec highlights are the brightest the colours look like they are 8 bit for some reason.

    Well, they are. That's all you can display with this hardware.

    I installed this riva tuner, where is the setting to force 2.0? I can't seem to find it and can't seem to run the demo.

    Select the demo .exe file, and check the box, "NV40 fix for R420 demos."

    You don't. The shaders used require branching support, which the R420 does not have.

    Of course, someone can rewrite the shaders.

    Well, you may be able to use compares, but that's going to waste a lot of cycles. To actually do the branching would require modifying the rendering pipeline, not just the shaders.
