I guess we will know when Nvidia releases a new driver and reputable sites get a good look at it. Right now Nvidia is acting like they are in damage control, which is very odd considering that they control the high end market at this time. :beer:

Another German web site Computerbase , went a step further. It made a custom driver by changing the inf, where the driver could not recognise 7800GTX and use its optimisations. The card was listed as unknown but was working just fine. But when the guys went testing they noticed a massive performance drop when using those drivers, close to 30 percent and related it to anisotropic filtering. Nvidia has a lot to explain. [q/]

I hope Nvidia can fix it without a performance loss, godd to see people are keeing companies honest.

LMAO!!. Now there are two words you rarely see in the same sentence. Nvidia, ATI, AMD, INTEL, all looking for the same thing. The allmighty bottom line.

Apparently Forceware 78.03 beta drivers take care of the shimmering, and preliminary benchmarks show that there no significant performance loss.

rollo to the rescue! looks like the INQ are a tad late on a story thats already been fixed

LOL- I scooped the Inquirer! Maybe they'll call me first next time?


:roll: Nah, they won't do that.

:beer:

you could bring credibility to the INQ lol

I like my graphics optimized.

Actually, "optimised" is the English spelling, while "optimized" is the American/Canadian way.
This holds true for other words as well. (eg.: realise/realize)

Interesting. And you would know how they are acting by what source?

Does this happen on the 6600gt? I wouldnt know, i dont use AA or AF.

it's funny how all people really care about in these days is the FPS performance. Image quality is really limited by the monitor therefore most people can't really tell a difference.

Apparently, only with High Quality enabled, in just Quality and lower, its still there. Thats not fixed.

the shimmering issue is VERY appearent on NV40 at high resolutions in certain situations.

 

[Powermoloch]

optimizing this and that. It's pure businesss.....like putting a v 8 engine on a mini cooper or something

Not only has this been posted multiple times before, it also appears nVidia have fixed it with basically no performance hit.

Yeah, nVidia is spiralling hopelessly downward as they make record profits and sell 73% of the performance cards in the market. Brought to their knees by the mipmap bug most people never even noticed. :roll:

They need to follow ATIs business model and get to spend most of their time in court, and the rest apologizing for paper launches, product inavailability, and delays.

I have requested a whistle emoticon before, I would use it here.

:whistle;

Ronnn, bull. Rollo, bull. Would you guys cut this crap out? I am sick of this petty bull that you guys are pulling. NOW CUT IT OUT! :| :disgust:

You misunderstood me, just stated how suprised I was at Nvidia's reaction. Usually they seem to save the official beta driver thing for what they consider big issues. Certainly did not suggest that this would possibly hurt their marketing position at this time. :beer:
