I think it's fairly naive to think that the card maker is going to do
much more testing than Nvidia (or indeed, much testing at all) on the
driver that Nvidia supplied them..

Not necessarily a workaround code. Read about the Geforce3 architecture on
Tomshardware.com. Cards from the Geforce3 onwards have hierarchical-Z /
hidden surface removal capability to eliminate overdraw.

The 5200 is also the only chip in the 5-series to lack Z-buffer- and
color-compression, to keep the die size down, according to

It's as if NVIDIA knew about a DX6/DX7 programming issue and put
work-around code into the 50 series drivers, for these cards, but
pulled it in later revisions. Perhaps the work-around code is in the
video bios for the 6600GT and TI4200?

LOL after 24 years in computer I think I know what talking about. Not naive
at all..........
