ATI texture filtering quality? Shimmer this! - 2005/09/09 19:09
Upon closer inspection there indeed was an issue with the texture filtering algorithm used in the 77.77 drivers of the GeForce 7800GT and 7800 GTX. This algorithm is said to up the performance, but lower the image quality as it causes for texture shimmering. Unfortunately it isn’t easy to reproduce this shimmering as it appears to vary from game to game and system to system, with some games appearing fine and some clearly having issues. That being said NVIDIA was on the ball quickly and resolved the issue in the 78-series drivers that were launched last week.
So to our surprise we found out earlier this week, and as reported here, that ATI’s Catalyst 5.8 new drivers have the exact same problem. And unlike NVIDIA, that was on the ball immediately after reports of texture filtering issues with their newly bought GeForce 7800 GT or 7800 GTX, ATI doesn’t even list it in the release notes for their Catalyst drivers.
