Hi

I've got a MSI nVidia 7300GT and am using Titan with Uphuck 10.4.9i r2. I've got all resolutions etc. but when I play a game it appears as if it's being software rendered and not hardware rendered. All the textures are basic, there are no reflections etc. Does this mean that QE/CI is not initialised? Can anyone help? Many thanks.

Go to the apple menu, click "About This Macintosh", then click "more info".  The system profiler will open, find you graphics card in the menu on the left, then look at the specs, it will tell you if CE/CI are enabled.

Whitch game you mean?

Any game, Halo Demo, AoE III Demo all come up with what appears to be software rendering. There is like no hardware acceleration and the FPS is terrible.

You need to check whether the games are Intel/Universal applications or PowerPC applications. Do this by doing 'get info' on the file. If it isn't an Intel/Universal app then you are running through Rosetta which may explain why the performance is so poor.
