Humm Confused I never got this problem.
I have a GeForce 8800 GTS 320Mb PCIe + Nvidia Forceware Driver v162.18 WHQ
On a Pentium D 3.00GHz. 2 Gb Ram.

What Driver do you have ?
And have you install the updates for Deus Ex + The new OpenGL driver or the new Direct3D8 driver ?

PS: This is my setup from DeusEx.ini

[OpenGLDrv.OpenGLRenderDevice]
TruFormMinVertices=0
TruFormTessellation=3
UseTruForm=False
AAFilterHint=2
NumAASamples=2
UseAA=True
RequestHighResolutionZ=True
MaskedTextureHack=True
FrameRateLimit=60
SwapInterval=1
UseVertexProgram=False
UseCVA=True
UseMultiDrawArrays=True
TexDXT1ToDXT3=False
DynamicTexIdRecycleLevel=100
CacheStaticMaps=False
UseTexPool=True
UseTexIdPool=True
UseSSE=True
UseSSE2=True
BufferTileQuads=False
BufferClippedActorTris=True
SinglePassDetail=True
ColorizeDetailTextures=False
DetailClipping=False
UseDetailAlpha=True
RefreshRate=85
MaxTMUnits=0
NoFiltering=False
MaxAnisotropy=2
UseTNT=False
Use16BitTextures=False
UseS3TC=True
UseAlphaPalette=False
AutoGenerateMipmaps=False
UseTrilinear=True
UsePrecache=False
AlwaysMipmap=False
ShareLists=False
UsePalette=True
UseMultiTexture=True
UseBGRATextures=True
UseZTrick=True
MaxLogTextureSize=8
MinLogTextureSize=0
MaxLogVOverU=8
MaxLogUOverV=8
OneXBlending=False
GammaCorrectScreenshots=False
GammaOffsetBlue=0.000000
GammaOffsetGreen=0.000000
GammaOffsetRed=0.000000
GammaOffset=0.000000
LODBias=-2.000000
DetailTextures=True
DescFlags=0
Description=
HighDetailActors=True
Coronas=True
ShinySurfaces=True
VolumetricLighting=True
ZRangeHack=True
SinglePassFog=True
DetailMax=2
NoMaskedS3TC=False
SmoothMaskedTextures=True
SceneNodeHack=False

Make a backup of your DeusEx.ini.
And then copy this setup too [OpenGLDrv.OpenGLRenderDevice] and see if this help.

I found this one in a forum:

"...I loved Deus Ex on the Mac but when I got an Intel Mac it wouldn't work anymore. Got Deus EX GOTY so I could play it in XP on the Intel Mac using Boot Camp. Well, Deus Ex ran way too fast. My first solution was to right-click the Deus Ex application, click Compatibility, and turn on Windows 98 / Me Compatibility Mode. This made the Deus Ex run at normal speed but it wasn't pefect because in compatibility mode, Deus Ex's display resolution menu was full of bizarre choices and none of them were 1440x900. Editing DeusEx.ini to get 1440x900 caused the bottom and right part of the image to be cut off. I eventually discovered that compatibility mode apparently runs in a sort of window that's no bigger than 1280x768, and although the ATI driver could be set to stretch this window to full screen or not, you either get a fuzzy picture or a sharp picture surrounded by black bars. Do not want.

I finally found the RIGHT answer: disable one of the Intel Core Duo processor cores. Deus Ex then runs correctly without compatibility mode and the resolution menu is proper all the way up to 1440x900. I found the instructions for single-core startup in a post by killeen at the onmac.net forum:

"You need to right click on "My Computer" -> Properties -> Advanced -> Startup & Recovery;

There, you will find a button named "edit" - by pressing it you can edit the Windows Boot.ini file manually.

at the end of the line add the following code:

/numproc=1

save the Boot.ini file and reboot

Your Windows XP Install will now only use one Processor Core.

The games which I had problems with before are now fully functional."

That's the answer. Deus Ex can't deal with the Core Duo so make it like a Core Solo..."

There is a problem on the Core Duo...

There is a Tool you can use.

"Get and Set CPU Affinity

Get and Set CPU affinity for running programs.
