Hello Chris,
I can’t say for certain that the driver will fix these issues you are seeing. I have been able to find a few forums that talk about similar incompatibilities, but nothing conclusive. (With regards to this series of cards and the functionality of OpenGL we use (Vertex Buffer Objects)) The older age of the GPU does worry me since we utilize functionality that was standardized around that time that the hardware itself would have to support.
This is generally why we recommend the newer Intel i3/i5/i7 CPUs since they have integrated graphics we have tested against. Unfortunately I don’t have access to a system like yours to test.
If you are unwilling/unable to update the driver or the driver does not fix the issue, contact me directly at aj@signalhound.com. We do have a 30-day money back guarantee. I wouldn’t want you to be stuck with a unit you cannot use.
I look forward to your response.
Regards,
Andrew
