Hmm I just received today a new GTX 560Ti 2gb video card - will not be installing for a few days though most likely.Hope I don't run into this as well - will be curious to see how you get yours resolved...

Guys, we heard of shader problems back in early February. Most problems were related to ATI/AMD not nVidia Cards.Anyway if you use ATI or nVidia applets, you may be able change the Shader Version, so make sure it is set to 4.0

There was a option in there that set my card to 2.0, and that made me have that message. If you do use tray tools, or have before, check and make sure it is set to DISABLE SHADER OVERIDE. or something along those lines.

I am sorry, but I can't find any SHADER OVERIDE (or something that looks like it). Also returning to the factory settings didn't help.

Marcel, What is your driver version?On one PC I have an NVidia GTX560, I am able to use both 285.62 and 295.73,but I have not tried the latest version 296.10. (released March 13,2012)Try one of the older versions 295.73 was current less than a month ago.If you reinstall the nVidia driver check the clean install optionHere is the link to the "older" drivers (not beta but certified drivers)http://www.geforce.com/Drivers/Beta

I use 296.10 (just downloaded today)

Marcel, try other driver versions (on my previous post), sorry I edited it after you wrote yours.
