The 7900 has cleared up the one thing I didn't like about my 6800/6600, nasty shimmering in textures wih an alpha component (very good example is the gulianno bridge in Mafia, had nasty fresnel lens effect on nv4x, rock solid and properly rendered on G7x).
Oh, and the claims that G7x shimmers worse than NV4x - guess what? It's another fanATic fantasy!.... (yes Ackmed, I'm looking at YOU!)
Do you have high quality in the drivers for the 6800 and the 7900? That would make a difference. I was under the impresion that they didn't change too much between the 6800 and 7800 besides mods to shaders. Could these mods result in lower amount of shimmering?
