Title: Texture corruption on SLI system
Post by: 4eRNoBiL on 26 February 2006, 12:17:16

I tried to test performance in Q2 and Q3 by disabling SLI and leaving both VooDoo's in the PC. When running at 640x480 everything seems to be fine, but when I switched to 800x600 all the textures got corrupted. There were red dots on the weapon, the walls, the sky...
The same things happens with all the 3D applications that I have tested. The problem seems to vanish when SLI is enabled.
The boards are not damaged. Both work fine in single setup at 800x600.
I'm using koolsmoky's Glide drivers - 2005-05-03 and SAGE 0.9.2. The VooDoo's are not overclocked. Can anyone explain ?

Why do you try to run the 2 V2's in Sli without Sli enabled ?

make sure the cards are not overclocked.and search your registry for SSTV2_VIDEO_24BPP and make sure its 0 (zero).

SSTV2_VIDEO_24BPP=0 solved the problem, thank you. But, ps47, I said I'm not overclocking.

QuoteThe VooDoo's are not overclocked...

Quotesome drivers overclock the cards

Ok, you win. :) I forgot to mention I'm configuring Glide only through the registry, so "grxclk" definetely equals to 90. Anyway, thanks for the help.
