GPU driver releases."

    NVIDIA chip name                   Device PCI ID
    -------------------------------    -------------------------------
    RIVA TNT                           0x0020
    RIVA TNT2/TNT2 Pro                 0x0028
    RIVA TNT2 Ultra                    0x0029
    Vanta/Vanta LT                     0x002C

So at least the result with the old Riva TNT2 could be explainable.
