Hi y'all.
I have a PCI V5 5500. I play 3 games regularly, Quake 3, Diablo 1 multiplayer, and NBA Live 2000. 2d works perfectly. So does Diablo and Quake3 (which looks awesome and is soooo smooth). The problems arise with Live 2000.
I got the glide patch from 3dxtreme.org, and am able to play in high res, so that's good. However, I get strange horizontal lines in the top third of the screen while playing the game and in all menus. They are narrow lines that sort of look like a waterfall; they move around constantly. They occur in both D3D and glide, at any resolution (although they are much less visible at lower res), and at any refresh rate (most visible at higher rates). It also appears at any antialiasing setting, moreso at 2x and 4x than single chip or fastest performance.
I know this isn't a power issue, I have a 300W PSU. Also, I've tried disconnecting everything not required for gameplay, ie I have just one hard drive and cd drive drawing power in addition to the vid card.
Is this just a problem with the games being older than the card and thus lacking total driver support?
BTW, I've tried all drivers, except for the original ones on the cd, which I don't have. Currently I'm using the omega optimized ones.
Any ideas?
