Back to SH4 for a try - questions graphics and torp. attacks

Hello,
thanks for your methods of hitting anything - i was quite good at it but the slow old PC made my give up and play SH3 instead - until now.
I have two graphic cards to choose from (PCI-e), both do not seem to be up to the job - currently installed is an MSI NX7300LE card (Nvidia
GeForce chip) with 256 mb RAM as i just realized oops, and i also have a packaged Geforce 8400GS with 512 Mb. Seems both are not "decent"
cards, however - which card would you try to get - best "bang for buck" - wise ?

Strange is: the currently installed 256 Mb card is shown with 512 Mb in the vga information window ?

PCIE is set to 16x, Nvidia system setting program:
Anisotropic filtering: managed by application
Antialiasing: Multisampling
Antialiasing settings: managed by application
Triple buffer: off
Extended limit: off
Error reports: off
max. number of pre-rendered picturs: 3
Force MipMaps: no information
Multi-Display/mixed GPU-aceleration: MUlti-display performance mode
Texture filtering - anisotropic sense optimization: On
Texture filtering - anisotropic mip-filter optimization: Off
Texture filtering - negative Lod-Bias: allowed
Texture filtering - trilinear optimization: On
Texture filtering quality: Quality
Threaded optimization: Auto
Vertical synchronization: Use setting for 3d-applications
Matching texture clamps: use hardware

The online test whether my system is suited for SH4 passed with the best possible results (?)

Driver version is 27.03.2009, 6.14.11.8250

Then i use aTuner, with Antialiasing set to 2x, Anisotropic by application, Vsync default on.

Apart from the specs sent here i have no idea what they do ...

Thanks and greetings,
Catfish
