Have you tried setting bUseThreadedAI=1 and iNumHWThreads=2 like is suggested on the AppDB page?
Hmm... isn't that on the Fallout AppDB page and not Fallout:New Vegas (atleast I didn't find it on the F:NV page)?
I opened up Fallout_default.ini and inserted/changed it to bUseThreadedAI=1 and iNumHWThreads=2 with no apparent change (can upload log if required)
so the game detecting the "wrong" card should be fine (the patch shouldn't really be necessary)
Well, without the patch (and the associated VID overrides in the registry), the game detects the graphics card as DIrect3D HAL and actually loads the game. It crashes when I hit New Game (the intro movie plays and it crashes attempts to load the game proper -- i.e, just before the scene when you wake up in bed)
With the patch (and without the registry overrides) the game crashes when I hit play in the launcher
