I was using Mystique 220 + Hitachi CM751 19" at 1152x864 at 99Hz.
The effect was dramatic (and thouroughly dissapointing)
It went from razor sharp to fuzzy. Setting refresh rate to 75-85hz helped,
but in the end, I went to 1024x768 @ 85hz. Minimal if any effect there.
It seems that the 3DFX card has a limited amount of bandwidth it can
pass-thru. Btw, I have Orchid R3D, thick cable. Cards are next to each
other.
