Hi folks, my VGA is utterly strange. I haven't used it in a while, but I'm seeing strange behaviors when in 3D mode (OpenGL, DirectX).

dxdiag 3D tests is broken after version 8, and it reports an insufficient amount of available memory.

For instance, here is how Quake looks like:

The attachment quake_1.PNG is no longer available
The attachment quake_2.PNG is no longer available

R5MEMID shows just artifacts past test 4, though it reports all memories are "fine". Tests #2 and #3 briefly shows a black screen and reports a pass as well.

Any ideas? Can you help?
