I got a new project board and I wanted a VLB card and have no other card to test the new board and new card.

What do you think is causing this beautiful problem?

Beautiful problem indeed 😂 I think that is a VRAM issue. Is this a VLB card? Which card is it?

If it has large discrete VRAM chips you may be able to replace them. Even easier if they're socketed, in which case you could try Deoxit or a contact cleaner. You could also try gently pressing on the chips to see if it's a contact issue somewhere. I have had some faulty AGP cards display a similar issue.

It was the card, with three bent pins on the QFP chipset.
