I'm running win 7, 64bit, 2.4 quad core, 4 gigs of RAM, 8800 GTS 512

I tried out the demo, and the first thing that tipped me off was the videos not playing, at the menus, I was able to set the game options and such just fine, but when I started up the game, everything bugged out on me, characters started glitching all over the place, multiple copies, camera spazzed and the audio freaked out.
Apart from not being able to play the demo, I'm worried I'll have similar issues if I actually purchase the game, can anyone with similar hardware alleviate my worries?

Unfortunately there are known issues with both Gothic games on Nvidia cards under Windows 7, and this applies to the GOG releases as well. :( This was reported on Nvidia's forums over a year ago, but while they claim to be looking into the problem a fix still hasn't arrived.
One possible workaround is described in this post, and there are others elsewhere in that thread; I haven't tried any of them myself though (I have an ATI card, which are unaffected) so I can't say how successful that will be.

Drat, I don't think I'll bother with a work around I'm not even sure what it does. According to Nvidia it'll be fixed in the 260.xx drivers, sadly it's a year later and we're still on 258.96...

Is it all nVidia cards are just a certain series? I'm getting a laptop for university today which will have an nVidia GeForce GT 330M and windows 7, so I'm really hoping it is just a certain series of nVidia cards ... I already can't play them on my PC so I at least want them on my laptop!

To answer my own question. the 300 series most deffinately suffers from this problem ... in fact it seemed far worse then when I played using the 9000 series!
