Got that one, and the image I posted is using that setting.  Just for

unplayable -- whole buildings don't appear, and the top and bottom half 
of my character don't meet up.

have an nvidia in it.

Thanks to everyone for your help.  If anyone has any more suggestions of 
things to try, I'm all ears!
