Most graphics problems under Windows Xp and 2000 can
ultimately be traced to poorly-written video card
drivers... the NVidia and TNT, Voodoo, Banshee, and
other 3D-focused cards are the worst. The developers
put all their time into the 3D code, leaving the 2D
code working like crap.
I'm not impressed with the 3D cards under NT, XP or 2000 but
never had a problem with various Voodoo's and ATI cards under 95/98.
One of the nicer 3D cards I had on the PC-side was a Real3D
Starfighter with an i860 and 16MB RAM onboard. I wish 3dfx hadn't
gone under...I bought one of the Voodoo 5's (Mac version) shortly
after they came out and really liked it but since they never got past
BETA drivers I sold it and bought a Radeon.
