The video display is strange with a few different games, Duke Nukem 3D (terrible
display) U.S. Navy Fighters- (strange sky etc) Also others.
I have tried running them in Dos and Windows 95, but it makes no difference.
I downloaded a screen refresh rate utility from a Cirrus Logic website. Will
installing this make any difference?
If not, am I to conclude that Cirrus Logic video cards are troublesome regarding
compatibility, and are in fact crap!
Anyone got any ideas for a suitable replacement if I find it is required?
Any other info on video display cards gratefully received.       
                                        
                        Thanx in advance,
