Enable Geometry Instancing box grayed out

Postby aussiewannabe » Fri Feb 29, 2008 1:08 pm

I have a new video card (see sig) that has the enable geometry instancing box grayed out. My last card had this option available, but I don't understand why I can't access this on the new card. The only box I have clicked on under the graphics adapter is the Support DXT texture formats. All others are unclicked.

Suggestions?

Could be a driver, or, the card itself does not require it be enabled and the option is not available

either way, no worries... its not going to make much difference and more than likely its not needed if its not available

Thanks, Nick!!

I failed to mentioned that I've updated the drivers on my card, but your answer is greatly appreciated.
