Is your refresh rate set too slow maybe?  Are you using any commands in the
console such as gl_round_down 0, gl_picmip 1, or gl_playermip 1?  These any
a few common commands that might speed up performance on 3dfx Voodoo1 cards
but cause textures to become either blurred more or to lose even more
detail.  You could try entering gl_round_down 1, gl_picmip 0, and
gl_playermip 0 into the console, but I doubt that is the problem.  Have you
tried contacting costumer support at Diamond?  They would most likely be
able to help you out.

One more thing, it could be your hook up / by-pass video connector.  Maybe
it's not connected fully with your primary video card?

You could help by running another OpenGL application. If similar problems
occur, it's the card/setup to blame. If they work fine, then it's Quake. Try
it, and get back to us.
