Author Topic: Don't laugh - is a video card a game card? (Read 347 times)

I have a WinFast(R) Titanium Display driver. Is this my game card? Is it good enough for AH? i seem to be getting jerky frames sometimes at about a rate of one per second, off and online (sound does the same too)

Running XP, 256K DDR RAM, Athlon 1.4 which runs at 1.6.

Thanks

Which Winfast titanium? It's a Geforce4 based chip, right? If so, yeah, it should be plenty fast. There are parts of AH where the performance bottleneck isn't graphics. I have a Geforce4 TI4600, but I still get jerky framerates occasionally in really really thick smoke, for example.

Chairboy, it is a 64mb Winfast Geforce 2 Ti Rtl.

That's your video card. A game card is a card with two 15-pin game ports...most computers just have a sound card with a single game port built into it.

Although it's not nearly the quickest, that card should at least be adequate. What resolution are you running?

Doc, do you have directx installed?
