Wait, if 8 bit textures ain't the cause, then what it is? I always hate it when we cannot play old game in newer cards (well, GLide is an exception). 8 bit textures aside, I think new cards like GF 7 or 8 should be able to play old Direct3D games like Hellbender or MDK.

In short, are there still things that keep old games from being played in newer cards, aside of 8 bit textures? And if there are, then what are they?

Bad drivers made by purpose. HellBender and MDK run like crap on my 8800GTX, but run out-of-the-box on my 7900GT (as long as I keep older drivers, none newer than 94.24)
