It runs swell, but i have this prob'm. Link when you turn fast or something, it looks like the textures are like pulling, like flickering. Anyone know how to stop that?

turn off vsync

I turned it off in the geforce opengl settings and it still does it, is there a way to turn it off of my monitor? It's so frustrating because when i turn some stuff like pictures and stuff look like they are vibrating or something.

Open the console and type r_swapinterval 1
I had this same problem with my Geforce3. It's called screen tearing, I guess it's a known issue. enable v-sync is the solution. IT happends because the Geforce3 renders the graphics faster than the monitor can display them.

there is no reason to not enable vsync.

turn vsync off for benchmarking and on for playing games.

otherwise you get nasty tearing and such.

THANK YOU SO SO SO SO VERY MUCH! that r_swapinterval 1 worked and now it doesn't do it, thanks a million everyone.

I had the same problem so I turned on V-Sync and everything worked fine.

With VSync on, my Geforce 3 Ti 200 runs fine also.

You might get lower FPS because it syncs it to your monitor's refresh rate, but since most people have it at like 60+, it doesn't matter.

Here's a wierd thing though... I have a GF3 Ti200, and my refresh rate is set at 75. For some reason. I can't break 62 FPS. Its not like I'm lagging to make it not break 62, it just refuses to go above that. I don't really care, it runs fine at 62 FPS (except it drops down to 30 every time I get into heavy foliage).
