GFX card & clipping
Reply #21 on: September 23, 2002, 02:31:55 pm
clipping is due to a bad Z-buffer depth.

if your card only likes running a 32bit Z-buffer (like mine) then it wont like a game that assumes and 8bit Zbuffer, hence the strange clipping problems, distance fade hall-of-mirrors effect etc.

Its simply a case of lazy game design rather than a problem with the hardware.
