I've got Rome: Total War and Vampire: The Masquerade on my computer upstairs, (which is not connected to the internet, hence eliminating spyware possibilities), and my system outdoes their recommended requirements. I've got a radeon(i think) 5600 video card that I purchased along with the computer in mid-2003. It was the most expensive vid-card available so I know it's not that. But my games still glitch when I max out rome's graphics and vamp just glitches in general. (The games will momentarily freeze and then continue playing) Any help with maximizing my system configuration to play the games without glitches would be well appreciated.
