I have to agree with Garrett. When I first got my Win 98SE machine home I tried a couple of different DirectX versions and found 7 or 7a were fine but anything else and I got weird side effects like 3D objects in benchmarks completely missing textures etc. Well, it sounds like poor VGA drivers :) …

I had a card with such a problem, I think it was a Creative Geforce 256. The card had two outputs. VGA was just like yours but DVI was fine. I thought it was faulty DAC 😀

And it's a 16MB variant. At least it was sent in an ESD bag. I guess. One of the worst packaging I've got so far.

I think that Savage 4 is one of the fastest 3D cards with only one TMU. It is true that drivers are not the best but always worked for me 😀 With Fur Fighter i get slide show with Voodoo3 but that game work great with Savage 4 😀
