Description

Every time I log on, i notice it does not support my video card, which is really strange since its fairly new video card and is up to date. I waited awhile to see if Second life would catch up, but instead, it seems to get worse all the time, even after installing new viewers

Shiba, thank you for reporting this.

Please see Release Notes/Second Life Release/1.23 - Known Issues: Incorrect Minimum System Requirements Warning - NVIDIA Video Cards

Incorrect Minimum System Requirements Warning - NVIDIA Video Cards

~~VWR-13947~~[c]: Viewer gpu_list.txt does not include some recent NVIDIA graphics cards - On systems running NVIDIA GTS 250, GTX 270 and GTX 275 graphics cards, SL may indicate that the minimum system requirements have not been met. The viewer will still function, but graphics will default to Low or Medium settings. If your system uses any of these graphics cards, click the 'Don't show me this again' check-box, then choose 'No' to continue logging into Second Life.

Thank you : )

Patch attached. The GT 120 is the standard graphics card on new Mac Pros, so this is fairly important on the Mac, I'll hopefully get this in to Snowglobe shortly.

Updated the patch to add the GT 130 also, as that's standard issue on higher end iMacs.

Didn't quite make it into Snowglobe 1.1, should be in 1.2 though.

My new iMac 9,1 with Nvidia GEForceGT 120 cannot run Second Life. Hope the problem can be fixed so that we can join SL soon again. It all worked well on iMac G5.

It can't run it? You should just get a warning message, that you can click past, and then increase the graphics settings manually. If you can't run it at all it sounds like there is something else going on.
