Hi all.
I am on the verge of returning my new Leadtek Geforce 256 DDR if I can't get
it working in the near future. I have tried many combinations of drivers but
simply can't get the card to produce uncorrupted video running Grand Prix
Legends. I know it is being used by many people successfully, so I request
that anyone with a working system using this card please send me any info,
zipped drivers, advice, anything in order to help me out.
Details:
ASUS P3V4X w/ bios 1003 and ASUS 4.17 driver set.
250 Watt Power supply
160 MB PC 100 Ram
Leadtek Geforce 256 DDR with newest bios
Win98 SE and Win2K
Directx 7A
Current drivers are the 3.68 Detonator series from NVidia.
GPL version is 1.2.0.1 with OpenGL Beta 2 driver.
Thanks in advance.

Your video card doesn't like your low wattage power supply. Upgrade to a
300 watt supply. This is not likely causing your problems with the graphics
but should be done to maintain the overall health of your rig. (prevent
smoking wires and house fires, etc...) Using the 3.68 nVidia drivers *will*
cause problems in GPL. Uninstall your drivers and install the unofficial
3.77 drivers. You can get them from http://www.reactorcritical.com.
Also set up your core.ini to read mirrors every "2" or "4" (depending on
your processor speed. And under display settings for the openGL section
enable "use block transfer".
