So do I need to install the new patch if I am using other Geforce cards? I am guessing not but I am not too sure.

I don't think you need to apply this patch astroduck, it's meant for NV3x.xx chips aka Geforce FX series only.

Please post game patchs in the game discussion forum. Thanks

Hm... people seem to have had alot of trouble with SH2 PC, but I never have had even one error or lock-up with it. I guess I'm just lucky.

I knew about this patch for a long time. When I installed the game I couldn't watch the movie sequences, thanks to my GeForce FX5600

The only other problem with the game is that you can't use FSAA (a lot of glitches occur if you enable it). But I've read in the "readme" that the game has a built-in FSAA, that's why you can't enable it externally.

and yet again ati prooves compatibility

It's not Nvidia's fault, I suppose. I've read somewhere that they has just left out the newest GeForce FX cards out of their "devices" file.
Blame Konami, instead

Actually, if you've looked at my fx5900u screenshots thread, I can enabled any FSAA in SH2 pc without any problems. And strangely, the movies are working fine for me without the patch.
