You are seeing bad drivers in action.  Streaky texturing.

This was a problem for me until I got all the drivers sorted out.
3DFX has some directions for Rush card users.  It is screwy that even
for the OpenGL games, you need the correct D3D and Glide drivers.

Forget about the actual Alliance drivers, the 3DFX Rush ones work fine.

Once you get that all sorted out Quake/HexenII and all the demos as well as
all my custom code run great.  

Hopefully I will get a non-debug full OpenGL implementation soon.  I use
GL Lines a lot in my tools.

This may seem really dumb, and if it does, don't take any offense..:P

By smearing, what exactly do you mean?  It's not just the texture filtering
is it?  Othewise, wait for the new rush drivers coming out soon.

Return it ASAP!  My Voodoo had strange looking stuff and I 
returned and the new one is fine.  Never blame these things on 
drivers!!  Especially with the wide variety of games you see this 
in.  Shit happens!

Yup. I've just gone back to using the 3dfx ref. drivers (which do work ok) -
I just wanted to check out any possible speed gains. Looks like for the time
being I'll be sticking with 3dfx's drivers though.
