nvidia riva model 64 video jitter

[Usalabs1]

I recently changed video cards from an ati 3d rage pro (agp) to an nvidia riva model 64/64 pro (agp) and installed the current updated drivers from nvidia for xp, the bios settings for the agp are set to 4x with the primary vga bios set to agp. The problem is, when a game (for example) that uses the 3d part of the card, or when a dvd is played, the graphics/video is very jittery, just like as if something has to catch up. What could be the problem, is it the card or the compatibility between the card and the agp port?. This never happened with the ati card.

With such an ancient card as the Riva 64 (over 5years old now) you really need a DVD decoder card such as the Holywood DVD card for smooth DVD playback.
Unfortunately you wouldn't be able to buy a new one but you may spot one second hand on Ebay or similar.
On the gaming front, you should be OK as long as the games are pre-Millennium otherwise a newer card:

GF2 32mb GTS or above
Radeon 32mb DDR or above

The two cards mentioned are old now, but will still just about do the job, so these are the minimum required today for reasonable gaming and smooth DVD playback (athough you might be able to get away with something slightly less for DVD playback)
