Having a problem here with a game called Tiger Woods PGA Tour and wondering if it has to do with our video card.
We have a Yikes G4/400, 896 MB RAM, OS 10.3, and using a ViewSonic ViewPanel VE150B display; our video card is the ATY Rage 128 PCI card that is original to the computer. Our system is within the requirements of the golf game as far as we know, except for maybe the video card requirement which is listed as ATI Radeon/NVidia GeForce with 16 MB (doesn't say 16 MB of what).
The game installed properly, we believe; but runs extremely slowly and doesn't seem to finish golf swings visually, although we can hear the club hit the ball. Is there a big difference between our video card and the one in the requirements? Do any of you have a system similar to ours and are you able to run this game properly?
Check the game specs. The demo, which would not run on my beige G4 533, 768meg ram, 10.2.8 with a PCI Radeon 7000 with 32MB (of video ram on the card, that is what they are referring to when they say 16MB) requires an AGP card, not a pci based card like in your yikes. Unfortunately, I know of no work around for the AGP video requirement. And yes, there is a big difference between an AGP and a PCI video card in performance.
