I'm not too good with computers but I may be able to offer you some assistance. I heard(but Im not sure) that Radeon Video Cards are better than Nvidea Cards. And, it sounds like you may need a faster processor and some more RAM. I have Neverwinter nights and that game seems to un alright on my pc...probably due to the memory.

yeah GTA is pretty annoying, it's to the point where moving around during times when lots is going on in the screen is so choppy it's damn hard just to do what you want

I AM ME wrote:ok guys so i just got my computer boosted from a puny 20 G to a 40 G, mostly because my computer's hard drive crashed and i needed a new one anyways. Yeah that's right 7 G's of music and video GONE!![]()
But anyways, my computer runs kinda choppy when i play busy high graphic games. I'm guessing this is because of my video card and not my pentium lll, any suggestions on good video cards to get? i have a Nvidea Riva TNT2, with a pentium 3, 735 MHz, 256 Mb of RAM. So could anyone suggest a good video card for gaming or perhaps some other problem that may be causing the choppyness? Playing GTA 3 and Neverwinter Nights like this is driving me insane.
Go with ATI Radeon.

bah, nvidia's digital vibrance rules all...specially in games like freelancer
as for video cards on older systems...you need to make sure your motherboard will support it...most video cars and agp 4x or > making it hard for pentium III based motherboards to upgrade...as it is likely a 2x agp port. Check it out at the computer store

Radeon has been catching up recently and many say that Radeon beat out Nvidia in the current card cycle. As far as performance goes, Radeons newest cards beat out Nvidia's newest hands down. However if you want a cheaper card that will allow you to play GTA i'd go for Nvidia's budget cards. (Gefore 4 MX ect.)

yeah this had nothing to do with anything but it is about video games.

don't look now, just keep watching the TV hating what's too see waiting for someone to say something that's right.

Anyone see the newest nvidia card: The Geforce 6800 Ultra. It laid a massive smackdown.
