Default Post nVidia TNT2 Model 64 running on Windows ME

I have the above graphics card working on a AMD Athlon 1 ghz PC. I tried playing GTA 3 on it today and it was very S L O W. What's going wrong?

Well its a TNT2 for starters... and its an Athlon 1Ghz. As you've mentioned it's rather slow. This is because despite the fact that you have an A-OK processor, the TNT2 is preventing you from getting high framerates. In short your graphics card needs an upgrade if you want more performance in GTA3. -- Anyone else?

tnt2m64's are about 1/5 the speed of a geforce ddr, and 1/40 the speed of a gf4ti4600... you should be able to get a radeon 8500le or gf3ti200 for cheap (under $100)
