Title: Screen corruption artifacts at 1600x1200 in Glide mode with V5
Post by SonicIce on 07.01.09 at 09:12:25

I just got a Voodoo 5 5500. I installed the latest official 3Dfx drivers. Whenever I set the resolution to 1600x1200 in a Glide game, my screen fills with these horizontal lines. It doesn't do it on a lower resolution. It doesn't do it on the desktop or in Direct3D mode.

Here is an image of the screen:

Image of my card for any reason:

Do you think it is a driver issue or is there something wrong with my card?

The system:
Win98
P3-933MHz
256MB RAM

Thank you.

I just take that and put them in Windows/System and replace whats there? I tried that and it didn't fix the problem :(

hmmm..this may be a problem of the driver itself-try the evolution driver as mentioned here: http://helppage.3dfx.sk/#cardtable

btw,have you tried running the card in single chip mode? maybe its a SLI problem..

I don't think it's a driver problem, I think it's hardware related, driver issues would have a hard time doing that.
