I hope you dont do this, as many say this card is "fake". It does not have the capabilties to use all that memory, and besides, its a slow kind of memory.

Running this:

ATI Radeon X1950 XTX, 512Mb, GDDR4

It's great!

Well I found the solution to my problem, I re-installed the game
and let it detect my new Vid card and now it runs great! Overall
though I feel ATI cards make this game look better but as some-
one else said there not putting a lot of the newer chips in AGP
format these days. My card has a special " bridge" chip that lets
it work on AGP since it's really a PCI-E part...

That's cool. Never heard of that. My comp. can only take AGP cards. it's an old Dell Dimension 8200 and it's original card was "Nvidia GF 4(!!!!)".....eeeh....that card suck....

So I got the Nvidia GF 5700FX.

DO NOT BUY THE NVIDIA GF 5700FX!!!!!!!

It broke down after 2 years, and I heard that it happens to alot of people, so be aware that this card is unstable!!!!1

IMO anything from the 5000 series is a stinking pile of horse manure. What ever happened at Nvidia back then is a mystery to me, but it wasn't making good graphics cards. Now the 6000-series that was some nice cards! I know several who still runs happily on their 6800s

I have run nothing but NVida cards and not had any issues at all with them. I have used the 5200, 5500 and now the 6200 OC 256MB. These cards have performed well for me. I have not gone much higher in the cards because it requires a larger power supply and I'm not willing to part with my money for that card/power supply combo. I will when absolutely necessary.

Everyone should check their virtual memory. SH3 is a memory hog and does not hesitate to start swapping between the hard drive. I do not care what video card you have...if the game is swapping and looking for memory off the hard driver, your game will not run well

I have an eGeForce 7600GS 256MB PCI-E I bought back in June. It works wonderfully and was the best bang for the buck at the time.

I had tried an ATI card before then and was reminded why I always had Nvidia. Screen flicker on startup was one of my main qualms.

Anyway, SHIII runs perfectly on my card.
