Are you sure you're talking about ping and not framerate? If it is ping, it shouldn't have anything to do with your video card. Make sure programs that use the internet aren't running in the background when you're playing. Also, if you recently installed something, check to make sure it didn't change any settings. Be sure to check/update the ethernet drivers, too.

Any

Any websites, because i havnt updated my ethernet drivers in a long time, i custom built this computer with....like not recent drivers on cd n stuff..and ethernet..

You should be able to download drivers from the manufacturer's website. As for the choppiness, check your video card settings, and try updating the drivers for that, too (again, at the card manufacturer's site).
