I'm having some really messed up problems. I think there is an instability issue, but with the drivers at fault. I can only run this Creative card in 2x mode since there is an instabilty problem with it being able to run in 4x with the Via KT133 chipset. When I run OpenGL games and whatnot they will run fine for a while (excluding Midtown Madness 2, which locks up randomly due to the video), then after prolonged use I will start getting weird graphical errors and artifacts, including 2d. Another problem is the use of hardware T&L in Midtown Madness 2, and the game called Insane. Whenever I run these games with the T&L option turned on I get huge graphical anomalies where there are triangles flying all over the screen and the textures are all messed up. This does not happen when the T&L is disabled. I was able to run MM2 once with the T&L enabled with no problems. After that it stopped working. I also am having problems with DVD playback using the hwmc. It will lock the video up randomly. I have tried numerous drivers, detenator 5.22, 6.18, 6.31, and Creative's drivers, but still run into problems. What I find weird is that when I first put this card in back in December, I wasn't running into these problems. Like I said before it has been all downhill since then :|. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
