that card should do pretty well assuming you have the rest of the hardware to back that up (2ghz+/512mb/etc)

good stuff
You've got the Ti4200 as b class.
I've gpt a Ti4200 and run the game 1280x1024 at full detail with no slowdown in game at all, even in the goulmouth. Only when the ref is about do things slow down.
Also, I've a 9600xt on its way to me (after an RMA) and the few days I had it before it broke it was running 1280x1024 Max Detail with AAx2 and AFx2 no problems. It should be A class for sure.
My spec...
Athlon 2200+ (o/c to 2400+)
Ti4200
WinXP Pro
1Gig PC3200 DDR RAM

I take your point, as they are both great cards...but the A ones, are for me, "the elite" like 9800pros and 5900 ultra etc. Remember, the ones in the b class are by no means poor, and with good mem and cpu, they will fly!! it's just cos they are a tier below the monster cards, thats all.

B cards should be fine, its when you get into the C cards and below that you'll start running into problems and have to start tweaking your system

gforce 5900
Hey there.
last week i bought a gforce 5200 for 89 euro! I had a gforce 2 mmx before, and PES3 runned very bad with that card! That new 5200 card also runned not good, it has still some slowmotion problems while i was playing. So i changed the card back for my money. Now i ordered a new better card on the internet to play the game finally with good graphics and no slowmotion problem. My question to you is(cause i see you know much more about graphic cards than me) if my card will be good enough: this is my card i ordered yesterday:
http://www3.alternate.nl/html/nodes_info/j9gk28.html
and this is my computer info.
AMD athlon xp 1800+
1,54 GHz
512 mb ram
I think i will recive this card in a few days. But do you think that the one is good enough for pes3? and my system also? If not, what can i change? And has anyone got the same card as will get?
Thanks a lot!

I have no idea what a 'Sparkle' video card is.
I'd recommend going to www.ati.com and getting anything that is a 9600+.

Jochem, a 5900XT should be perfect for pes3, just make sure you get newswe drivers, as possibly the ones you get with the card may be older. You should be fine, and be able to use AA and AF.
Fenelee, I think the balck stripes may still be video card compatabilty problems, remember, even if you stillg et some peformance in terms of speed with your mx400, you could still get glitches etc. Also, the more I hear of problems, it seems to be with old Nvidia cards...so I think it may still be the graphics card, and not drivers or anything else.

Hey t100! Thanks for your answer! I recived my card today and it runs very good! But after a while i think the card is to hot or something, and than i see a few stripes during playing. Thats not so worse, cause it won't irritate. I think i played to long
you said i am now able to use AA and AF... But what do you mean by that? I don't know what that means sorry.
thanks again!

AA and AF stand for Anti Aliasaing (AA) and Anisotropic filtering (AF). In short, they are visual smoothing techniques which will improve the picture, make is sharper, get rid of any jagged edges on your graphics, and generally make the animation more fluid. If you can go into control panel, just right click on screen>Properties>Settings>Advanced You will get your graphics card display panel. There should be a slider to increase/decrease turn off AA and AF. play around with it. Just remember, the more AA and AF you use, the more processing power and memory is required, both from your system and graphics card. With your card, you should easily be able to handle 4XAA and 4X AF, try that to start with, and see if you notice any improvement. Increase or decrease those settings, depending on peformance, so if you start to get slow down the higher up you go, bring it down, until you find a balance, between framerate and visual quality.
Hope this helps.

Right i have a question..Its a long shot but...I have a Intel Celeron 766mhz, 512mb SDRAM and i will be getting a GAINWARD GEFORCE 3 64MB - GOLDEN SAMPLE graphics card off my mate for £20, I know my proccessor isn't even minimum but will the above graphics card help it and is it any good and where does it come in the A-C classes? Thanks
Hmmm, Geforce 3 would be someway down the scale as you can imagine. Also being 64mb, doesnt help. The processor, is I'm afraid....waaaaaaaaay off, A celeron is far slower than a pentium of similar clock speed, simply because it's watered down to make it cost effective, and has the general user in mind, not very good for games basically. I think you will really sturggle badly with that, I mean, would be interesting to see if you actually manage to get it to play...if so, then can it handle low detail/low res without going into slow mo?.....well, surprise me.

Yeah..lol i just thought i may give it a shot....I may get an upgrade next month...but is that graphics card i am getting a good 64mb card? I don't mean for pes3, I mean in genral...At the mo i have 32mb card (no idea what type) so going from 32mb to 64mb will be a big diffrence right?
