I have an ATI x1950 and I'm using Maya 2008, whenever I view a file that has textures on it, it looks like a ton of things are coming out from the center of the screen and they take up the whole viewport and I get this enormously loud screech out of my speakers when I rotate/move. When I try to render after that, the rendered image is just a black square with a bunch of fuzzy streaks across it.
When it isn't doing all of that, anti-alias rendering doesn't work. It looks like there's a staircase going down the edges of objects...
This is a serious problem cause I haven't been able to use Maya for more then 5 minutes in several months...
