Using a Visiontek Geforce 4 Ti 4200 with 29.80 drivers and Win98 gold, I
am getting strange artifacts when using FSAA with games. I get a line
of pixels vertically on the left side of the screen and another line
horizontally at the top of the screen that are random garbage. I don't
see this when I am not using FSAA. I don't recall whether the 27.50
drivers had this problem, but the 29.42's definitely did. Does anyone
know whether this is a hardware or software problem? Are there drivers
that do not have this problem? Is there a reg tweak that will fix it?
Or do I have a bad card?

Well I don't think it is your card. I have a gf3 ti 200, and after moving up
to the 29.42's I noticed the same thing. So far that is the only thing I
have noticed wrong with these drivers, and I don't even notice it anymore.

Okay cool. I tried to fool around with it today, and could only
reproduce it reliably in GPL. I couldn't get it to happen in any OpenGL
games. I could have sworn I saw it in some other DX games yesterday,
but I couldn't get it to do it today. Anyway I fixed the GPL problem by
turning off multisampling in the FSAA tab in Riva Tuner. So now it
seems to be working. I think that was off by default anyway, so I guess
it's my fault for screwing around with it. ;o)

I have a GeForce3Ti200 (MSI) with 27.50 drivers, the problem's the same.

Haq...

If you haven't done so....try updating your AGP Northbridge drivers. If
they are VIA....this is probably the problem. Also, do you have
"multi-sampling" turned on by mistake?

I don't have a VIA chipset Tom. But yes I did turn multi-sampling on
while trying to fix a different problem, and that is apparently what was
causing the artifacts. Since turning it off I still see an occasional
artifact in GPL, but none in other games. Whereas before it was there
all the time in GPL and frequently in other games. Problem solved. I
think. ;o)
