Anyways, games like GTA3 and Mafia run like ****. Can anyone help me??? I have Windows XP and 40GB hard drive (about 20 gigs left). BTW, what mothreboard do you think I should get when I upgrade in Dec.?

It's not your computer, there is a problem with the game.

They are working on a patch that should be released soon!


If your looking into a motherboard look at the Nforce 2's

and btw dont get RDRAM go DDR way better!!!

Your card blows mine out of the water, GTA3 should run fine. Maybe you have a virus of some sort? How many apps you got going in your systray?

plus im not sure if this is a factor or not, but what is the Bit setting on your desktop? (16 or 32)

What resoultion are you playing at? Have you tried turning off the trails?

My friend has a better video card than me, and when he played it ran like crap. But if you take the trials off it should help alot.

I recall you stating you got around a 6000 in the 3dmark bench mark. I too score in the 6000 with my g4 420.

Are you sure you have a ti? Double check your device manager

Do you have the latest drivers and detenator pack from nvidia?

Did'nt ya'll notice he has SDR? DDR is waaaaaaaay better!

btw, dont be raggin on Mafia yo!
Mine was slow at first, but dat was because of memory. I originally had 128, but it's like butta with 384 or more!

I'm sure its a Ti4600. Can u give me more info about that patch, cuz GTA3 runs like trash too. I have the latest drivers (30.82) from Visiontek, my score is now a 7368, which, from what i here, low for my card.

I'm starting to think I bought a fake card or something (if they make those) so I compared it to a pic I got from Visiontek themselves and it looks the exact same.

Do they have viruses that do that kind of stuff?

I checked for background apps running and there were 3 or 4, I closed them and it ran better, but it still jerked some. My friend, who I gave my old GF2 MX400 to, has a 512MB SDRAM 1.7GHz with a generic motherboard and it runs fine on his. I'm about to give up hope!! HELP

Yes that is low for your system specs. Have you re-formated and re-installed XP yet? Also have you checked the device manager to make sure you don't have any question marks any where?

I think it is just his ram. sd is not that great and it might be waht is causing his problems. I think he is experiencing the "hiccup" phenomena where it skips a frame everyonce and a while. This is probably due to your ram. RAM stands for random accesable memory, therefor if you do not have enough then your computer cannot alot the right amount to the game for it to run properly. Am I making any sense or does it seem like I am talking in a circle?
