is the voodoo 3 supported for this game ???

no-one shouts louder than someone who is being ignored, or in the case of techies, to be heard over the noise of their PC's ;-)

If it's not the video card than updating GTA3 to 1.1 might help.

I strongly recommend for that game atleast a Geforce3, even GF4 MX series is not really enough unless you enjoy choppy game play and possibly freezing caused from the card overheating :) I seriously don't see that game running with that card, it'd be like trying it with intergrated AGP graphics on my mobo (no offense).

I had a GF2 ti when that game first came out and it was laughable at how slow things went. I seriously HAD to get a GF4 ti4200 to par up with what the game demanded from a GPU.

Get a GF3 ti or GF4 ti for x-mas, around $100 and it will seriously improve your overall gaming experience!

true, on my AthlonXP 1900+ with GF2 Ultra i found that i couldn't run it in 1024x768, cause the fps was around 5!


with a new 128Mb GF4 Ti 4200 with Quicux FSAA the game runs fine with the above res......so yeah i think the Voodoo 3 is far too slow for GTA3
