Had bought a TNT2 card some 2 to 3 years back.
Didnt check the package at the vendors place.
N guess what when i opened it some 10-15 days later i discovered
the card was damaged.
A small piece at the corner of the board was cracked n was missing.
The vendor just refused to claim responsibility .
I felt cheated.
Still installed the card to see it it worked.
Well it did work on booting i could see the gpu bios screen which
said the card was a TNT2 M64.
But the manual read it was a TNT2 Ultra n not M64.
Installed the drivers but could never get more than 16 colours.
In every session i was getting the message that there is a problem
with the driver .
Tried everything n also the system was very heavy .
CPU usage is always 100% even in 16 colours.
Doesent hog the cpu in safe mode.
The cpu is free if i use the generic VGA driver.
But as TNT2 it hogs the cpu n crashes after some time.
Havent used the card since then.
Any clues?
