If all settings are still the same, it should be a major improvement.

But:

- If your settings have changed, look for options as antialiasing and anisotropic filtering and disable them. Performance killers for MX cards. If you're talking about MoHAA, this card should suffice, but don't set everything to maximum.

- You had a 16 MB card before you upgraded? That's an old card. Any chance you CPU is also an older model? Like 500 Mhz. or something? Then a faster videocard will not really improve performance. Your CPU is the bottleneck, then. Maybe it indeed will decrease performance since newer cards are capable of doing much more than old ones, thus needing more CPU time.

- Check out [url=http://www.guru3d.com/rivatuner/:52402]RivaTuner[/url:52402] and optimize your settings.

Run the Auto-Config in the MOH folder, config.exe then try the game again. You have to tell MOH you have a new video card.

I know your problem most liekly here. Right click on you Desktop>Settings>Advanced tab>go to >Additonal properties(under GeForce 4 tab in there.>3d Anti Alias Settings> turn it off. Ge Force MX 4 cards are ok. Not good but half decent fo a budget card. But the shit cant handle AA worth shit so you have to turn it off tottaly. All aa does is smooth out edges in games so a wall edges corner doesnt look jagged. You won't notice a diffrence with it off unless you are a very very hardcore gamer. If this doesnt work check you open gl settings and turn Anistropic Filtering off to.



Hope this helps.
