No, when I said work out of the box I meant exactly that...I was able to play Tux, Unreal Tournament, Soldier of Fortune, Quake, etc. However, the performance wasn't any where near what the cards could do. When I added the Nvidia kernel patch the performance became much more acceptable. I am using an older TNT2 and a newer GF2 card. Both of those systems are now running 7.3 after being upgraded multiple times. In any case, they have always worked just not as well as they should without the patches.
