Is anyone here playing Thief 3 with an NVidia 5700 series card? If so, how
well does it perform? Thanks in advance.

If it's a 5700 Ultra it should run acceptably.

It runs just great on my Ti4200 with 64Mb. Apparently the 5200 is an
entry level card, and despite the higher number it is very slow in
comparison to the 5200.

Have the 5700 Ultra on a 2.53 P4, WinXP with 1G ram. Decently handles
T3 (and T2) but a real let down that I can't get it to run TGold.

Even after using safe textures?
Uncomment the use_safe_texture_manager line in the user.cfg(?) file and it
should work even with newer nVidia drivers.

Yeah..matter of fact, my user.cfg file didn't even have that line in
there. I put it in with and without the semi-colon but still couldn't
get TG to work. I should clarify that I can get TG to work, but only
with hardware turned off....yuck....8bit graphics. So basically, I
couldn't get TG to run with the 5700.

Whoa, spoke too soon. Read your thread going with Jazz and the
TG patch fixed it for me. Yesssssss.
