The one on the left has SQUARE halos around the lights. The pillars are mapped off-centered.

The one on the right is correctly mapped.

Hard to tell with a still picture, but very noticeable in actual game play.

1) MX440's still rock for games, cheap and clockable

2) Spin, have you tried the omega drivers?

No, I haven't tried those drivers. I already boxed the ATI. Tomorrow, I am going back with Geforce, but something a bit more powerful than the MX440. The vendor may not give me my money back (credit card), so I'll probably be credited for another store purchase. So I got to find a GeForce NVIDIA card worth $127.00 or more.

I have the 9600SE, I had trouble installing the Drivers because I kept getting a INF error but fixed it. I was just wondering anyone with the 9600 SE what are your tweak settings. It works fine on PC and u get a free mail-in or download of HL2.

You know, if you wanted to go with maybe a Geforce4 MX 440 2x/4x AGP 128MB card, I happen to have one, (the one in my signature) that im selling right now....

I am getting a new card soon as well, so it never hurts to ask if anyone wants it.

are you sure? according to ati website, they only give those coupons to the more expensive line up of 9600 series....

OK, I narrowed the problem down to my either my motherboard or the CPU causing the problem. I exchanged the ATI 9600 for a GeForce 5600 256 MB DDR and still have serious problems. SO, I bought a new Pentium4 2.6GHz CPU and had to downgrade to an ATI 5200 128 MB DDR, spending all this money is too much for me. Now I need a new motherboard. I don't want to take a chance on blowing out another CPU or video card with the current motherboard. The only thing left is my power supply, and I bought that NEW in August. It is 550 watt with dual fan cooling. I hope the power supply is not the root of the problem. I spent WAY too much money this weekend.

Has anyone here blown out a video card? Here's what happened to me twice. The first "blow-out" was with a GeForce ti440, suddenly the screen went blank, then a moment later the computer restarted with wacky graphics. The second time, the same thing happened with the Geforce 5600, but the computer never restarted. Oh, and a month ago, my geforce mx440 just deteriorated, no sudden blow-out. It just started acting funny with weird graphics.
