Excuse my possible ignorance as this is the first time I have seen these cards in action.
1. With VSync (or "Sync buffer swaps") turned off, I get horizontal line tearing artifacts on fast-moving objects. For example, it gets really bad towards the middle of the 3DMark99 demo, right around the beginning of the forest scene. Another example is at the Quake III Arena title screen, where after a little while the cursor leaves a double image trail behind it.
2. The second Voodoo2 I got from eBay has a very slight bend that starts around 1/3 of the card from the left and sags towards the bottom of the PC (in tower configuration) about 3-4 mm. It's not much, but it is noticeable. Would this be enough to affect performance and cause the aforementioned tearing as a result of being unable to keep up with the first Voodoo2?
