It's a good thing nVidia never released a GPU with a "TnL chip" to get burnt out then. |
Well you tell me what was wrong with it. Games started with a bit of graphical corruption to being completely invisible behind the mess of criss crossing lines, and the only way to 'fix' it was by disabling Hardware TnL in the ini files for Everquest, and in the settings for FS2004. A video problem that gradually gets worse is a deteriorating chip in my book. It was an overclocked card, at least it was promoted that way.
I had a different video problem before with a NVidia Riva TNT2 card with the video in/out port. I had to route my Dreamcast through my PC to get it to display on my CRT projector. For some reason the signal level from the DC was not compatible with my projector. That all worked fine for a while (crazy taxi on 72" screen was awesome), until 1/4 of the top of the screen always remained blue.
I've had better luck with pc hardware since I stopped buying stuff on release :) Now I need to apply that lesson to consoles... (rrods/ylod/wii disc drive problems had em all)
