have you checked around to see if it has an issue with XP?

GTA III, XP and a GF2 ran like crap without the patch.

tommycahir

not yet only installed the graphics card last weekend and went to test the card last nite by running some high detail games eg mafia hitman2 noone lives forever 2 etc

Should work fine with that card.


have you enabled agp 4x in bios and used the latest drivers from www.nvidia.com

I have a less spec card than that and XP and mafia runs fine in 1024.

hmmmm, did you uninstall all insances of the old card, including drivers?

do that if you havent already and maybe reinstall DX

tommycahir

using dx 9 and had just installed it before i installed the new graphics card

SouperComputer

DX9 might be the problem!
