Hi everyone
I recently bought a Geforce 256 wich uses SGRAM and that was manufactured by asus (it's name is "asus V6800")
DirectX is mostly fine (except in Unreal Tournament 99 where for some reasons few textures have wrong pixels), but for example in half life, i'm getting this :
As you can see, the scene is as it should be, but the text, and the characters are completely blank for some reasons ...
I tried this card on two computers, and I got the same result. I'm using the original drivers from asus (asus provides custom nvidia 43.x drivers for this card). 3Dmark 99 is fine, RE-Volt is fine, Half Life in directx mode is mostly fine (there are a few "jumps" sometimes in the picture, but this is maybe related to me not having activated V-Sync (but those aren't V-Sync artifacts)) but I'm having also little issues with 2D sometimes (like few pixels randomly placed around an icon, the background of a windows not refreshing correctly, but these are minor issues)
So the final question is : is my card dead or is there another issue somewhere ? (drivers ? as I said, I tried Asus drivers, but I also tried original drivers from nvidia from 1999-2000 and it detected the card as a Geforce DDR. But this had exactly the same issues)
