For some reason, my video card will run games like tomb raider legend on almost full graphics settings...but can barely run old racing games like nfs underground 2 with low graphics and 800 x 600 resolution lol! Anybody know a fix for this? Im thinking of getting an artic cooling silencer for my nvidia geforce 6200 TC...then overclocking it to a good high level. P.S. its only racing/driving games where it lags...I dont have a clue why.

I find the need for speed games lag a lot more than they should, especially since the graphics aren't that great.

I agree. I played NFSU/2 and the game looks pretty bad actually, but I'm not able to run it on that high of settings. NFSMW is a bit better, but even when i had my A64 I couldn't play it maxed out.

I was thinking it was more along the line that racing games had higher frame rates, and that my video card find it hard to do frame rates that high...Im probably wrong though lol

There's a problem with most all Need For Speed games. I know it lags a bit on my machine(Most Wanted) but I can run other games just fine. Try some other racing game, I'm sure it'd run fine.

On my computer I can max out the settings at 1024x1280 and still have very decent framerates (at stock clocks on the graphics card). It makes sense that it wouldn't be to fast on your 6200TC, even with the lowered settings. By the way, don't bother about an NV Silencer for the card. The fan is almost worth the same as the graphics card itself :)

I'm assuming that 6200 is an AGP? If so, you can get a better card for like $130. But you probably will still have that same problem since I'm sure it is in the game itself. We could all be wrong though ;)
