After much searching on here I haven't found any information relevant to this exact issue/question so here goes...
I'm using this Diamond Voodoo 1 I got from ebay (unfortunately threw out my original V1 over ten years ago) and the image quality sort of looks like an over-the-air TV channel that isn't coming in 100%. There are these "scanlines" if you will, sometimes "dancing" diagonally and sometimes horizontally. This does not appear to be at the software layer, such as corrupt textures from bad VRAM, etc. This definitely looks like it's at the physical layer, like it's some sort of interference or something. At first I blamed it on the passthrough cable, but then tried connecting the card directly to my monitor and had the exact issue.
So is this normal for these cards? If it was normal, I can see why it didn't matter much given that we were all running them through crappy CRT monitors, so all sorts of analog weirdness was normal back then.
