My video card is slow

[dmdave]

I have a Nvidia 64 pro tnt2 32 meg, I went to pcworlds, they have a computer pitstop that checks the performance of your computer online, everything is ok except the video,
I have pentium111 886mz 256 mem,When I play some games the video is choppy very choppy and slooow, (Americas Army), that is why i wnt to pcworlds, they said it running at 47 percent of what should be running at acording to other computers with specs and video card that i have, please help

If the service you went to is anything like

http://www.pcpitstop.com,

the 47% is how your video is as compared to everyone else - you're right in the middle. This is a pretty mundane video card by todays standards, an upgraded card would bring up your percentile.

Yeh! I would agree, the TNT chipset is very dated now, if it manages to launch anything new it will be very choppy, just a very slow card by todays standards M8.
Time to upgrade.
GF2 MX400 absolute minimum but GF3 or above recomended
Radeon 7200 " " but 7500 or above recommended

Sweet spot price/performance Radeon 9000 or
Geforce 4 4200Ti.
Martin Replying helps further our knowledge, without comment leaves us wondering.

It is a dated card, it should allow you to play a moderatly decent game of Medal of Honor but that is about it for fairly recent 3d games. Americas Army and BF 1942 are both hogs and even with a Geforce 2 MX400, 64md SDRAM card they only ran OK with all grafix turned down
