Ok. I think I see a problem.
Each time I start up machine the "new hardware found" window opens asking to load software for "Other pci Bridge Device"

Then in says unable to "Install This Hardware"

I have screwed up something.

You cant use DX10 in XP, so the card is runing in DX9 only.

Dont panic, just do what I wrote step by step.

Followed directions

Uninstalled nvidia drivers via add/remove programs

It asked for restart, I hit cancel, then shut down.

Physically removed card from slot and replaced.

Started machine.

Hardware wizard pops up. Wants to install software for: PCI device

???

Should I just run the driver installer for the 270's I downloaded...?

Ignore the wizard, just close the window.

You should install the downloaded driver now.

Thx Buchon, for your help..

I followed directions but in game is a flickering mess..

Everything else runs fine...

Dunno.

Reinstall game?
Doesn't seem like a likely fix, tho..

Actually, I think I'll try reinstall. I had Tried the beta myself. Could be sum thing quirky I suppose.

The game in DX9 is just a mess.

The game runs fast and looks better in DX10 than in DX9, the shadows that you can see in the videos, and the graphic quality, is done under DX10.

You should put that card under DX10, but is only available in Windows 7, and Vista but avoid it

I suggest you upgrade to Windows 7 64-bits as soon is possible to unleash the power of that card.

Might be time for a new rig then..

I am gonna try a reinstall. DL ing now.

As I stated earlier. I got a taste of the game last weekend with shadows off. It was wicked cool IMO.
Cant wait til it's all up an running.

This is your problem. The game runs like cr*p on XP.

You should upgrade to Windows 7 ASAP.

Well I upgraded to Win 7 and the GeForce GTX 560 and I can now enjoy this game with shadows. Thanks for the help everybody!
