images are "bleached" on V5 AGP

[Uwe]

Hello,

I have a Voodoo 5 AGP that the images appear "bleached" or very white. I tried darking my monitor but it didn't help much. It makes it very hard to read some text sometimes. Is the card burned out?

The card was fine so far as I as I could tell but I loaned it out to a friend when I upgraded my main video card. I suspect it was overclocked.

Any ideas what is causing the bleached out effect?

Thanks,

Uwe

Nah, don't think it's a hardware failure. Is the picture always too bright, even during POST and boot procedure, or only when the Operating System is up and running? Or does it only appear in 3D applications?

If so, maybe you somehow have set wrong Gamma settings in the 3Dfx Tools options...
