Supported graphics cards in Shadowrun for Vista. Graphics issues.

Below is information extracted from the README.rtf file in the Windows Vista version of Shadowrun. nVidia’s new DX10 cards are not listed as supported or unsupported. However, I’m running a 8800 GTX and the game runs fine.

Also note that the README states that the popular 1440 x 900 widescreen resolution is not supported. Neither is multiple monitors or the less popular 1152 x 648 resolution.
