Periscope FPS issue for the tech heads

Get a nvidia card. you will not be disappointed.

Reason was the card that I did have it was way too dark to see anything at night.

I had a ATI X700. I now have a Geforce 7600 GS OC w/ 512meg of ram.

I would love an Nvidia card but you get what you can afford at the time right? When I play morrowind oblivion there is an issue with ati cards and AA. There is a part of the game that will drop your fps to a crawl when you look at it. Im wondering if its another issue like that.

They are in general not better than ATI cards.

Oblivion has some clipping issues, there are places where the framerate drops no matter which card you have. How much it drops depends on how fast the card is. With your X1300 you shouldn´t use AA at all, it´s too slow for that.
