I fired up DOOM 3 with Sikkmod yesterday and noticed graphical artifacts, eg. labels on walls flickerking. Previously, I noticed that with Half-Life, though there are community made updates of stock maps that fix the issue.

My question, is this supposed to be the norm now with older OpenGL games? Do all old games need fixed maps now to display correctly with newer drivers? I have 461.something on my Win10 install if I recall correctly, though the GPU is older GTX 750 Ti. Any driver-side workarounds? How's AMD these days regarding compatibility? They were notorious for issues with OpenGL games in the past.
