Hey, I have a Voodoo 2 12MB that displays mild artefacts. There is a bit of story behind this card, first after I installed it, it froze the computer during 3dmark benchmark so I closely inspected the card and discovered some bended pins that were shorted as well. I straightened them using a paper cutter however I can notice some artefacts in games and 3dmark (they are highlighted in the photo below). Even if I change the resolution the artefacts stay in same/similar position on the screen.
I ran the donut demo and with 2 TMUS and 1 pass selected there are no artefacts, however if I toggle it to 1 TMU and 2 passes there are artefacts (mostly black dots on the donut).
This is I'm afraid as far as I can troubleshoot it.
Is there any hope for this card? Did something fry when I turned it on with pins shorted?
