helloooo... i have an athlon 64 3200+ 1mb L2, 768 pc2700 value ram, 7200 maxtor 120gb hard drive, and a 9800 pro and yet tiger woods golf is still choppy... doom 3 however is not, nor is far cry... ii think my system shoudl be able to run tiger on 1024 x 768 x 16 with the other video options all the way up, right? and even when i but them not all the way up it still has choppy moments... waayyy too many for a semi decent system.... any help?
 
what drivers are you using for the 9800 pro? I had the same problem, some games ran fine then I installed the Sims 2 and it ran like crap, and sometime didn't even let me go past the menu screen. I upgraded the drivers from the CAT 4.7 to 4.10 and everything was fixed excpept in one of my games I had some graphic issues so I went to the 4.9's and everything good.
 
alright i tried 4.9 and its even worse... i have concluded thATI has pathetic drivers... my GF4ti 4280 outperformed my 9800 pro how pathetic...

Nah... That's not possible unless you've got something fouled up. I went Ti 4200 -> 9600 pro -> 9800 pro. The Ti can't do what a 9800 pro can, not close. (Course, I never tried a Ti 4280 😉, actually never heard of it.)

yah the 4280 is just 4200 with 8x AGP and 128mb ram but the ram was 500mhz as apposed to the usual 128 which was i believe 444... still no where near the 9800 pro... the drivers just seem to suck im using omegas right now, the newest version and they seem to be doing well
