Ok last week my Fiancee ordered a GF4 MX440. Today we found out they didn't even put it in to the computer. So she won't be getting the card. We went today and bought her aPNY GF2 Ti 64m.b. DDR card. How good is this card? She mainly plays Sims and tonight she will be playing Ghost Recon for the first time.

Plenty good enough for what you will be doing or she will be doing. Much more than adequate.

Ok cool. Right now she has a Sis 4m.b. card which can't do much. Myself I have the GF2 MX400 64m.b. card.

This card seems slower then my GF2 MX400. Maybe it`s cause of the Celeron 800.

It's probably because of the Celeron. I agree with Cisco Kid thats more than adequate for what she needs.

Well for Ghost Recon it sucks monkey butts. It`s really slow I was thinking of putting in my GF2 MX400 PCI card and putting her`s in mine. I think that the board might not like the DDR video card.

Well yesterday after I put it in I ran 3Dmark2k1 and got a score of 2329. I guess the reason for the low score is due to the Celeron right. Here`s whats all in her rig 1) AOpen AX34 Pro II 2)800MHz Celeron 3) 512m.b. PC-133 4)48x Creative labs CD-Rom 5) 20 gig W.D. and the Celeron is Direct die cooled.

You might have bad frames from accidently having FSAA on. Download RivaTuner off of www.guru3d.com and see if it's on. If it is then turn it off, then you'll have better frames.

Ok I just downloaded RivaTuner. Where do I find FSAA at in it. Lastly what is FSAA. Sorry but I'm still a little green when it comes to GeForce boards. I've only used PowerStrip for it.
