Is there any real dif in video cards?

Warhawk - The problem is that it's sluggish even when the only moving thing on the screen is the boat icon huffing its merry way across the Pacific. And the pointer is even a bit sluggish when watching a boat burn in real-time.

As an update, though, I cruised over to the official ATI forum yesterday and asked them what they thought of the four cheapies I listed, and the verdict was that the X850 was, by far, the best of the bunch, as long as it's the PCI Express version, which it is. So, for $15, it's worth a shot and I ordered it. I'll report back here when it arrives and I test it out.

Thanks again to all for the input,
Doc

I could run SH4, modded. on a 2 gig, AMD? and AGP video card. It ran ok. I would imagine the X850 should help your sluggish running game.
