Old games not looking right?

Hi,

I recently upgraded my 7500 to a 9800 Pro. It rocks with modern-ish
games like Doom 3, Jedi Outcast, Prince of Persia 2, Return to Castle
Wolfenstein, etc. Besically anything since the Q3 engine & DirectX 8

But older games (Quake 2, Dark Forces 2) look a bit rubbish. Very
blocky, etc. Obviously they are 'old-tech', but I'm sure they didn't
look this bad on my 7500.

Are there any settings (in the control panel, or the games themselves)
I should tweak in order to make these old games look as good as they
used to?

Or is it just that I've been spoilt by the new generation of games!

Look for screenshots on the web.
