I re-recorded a couple of videos with BF2 @ 1024x768 so FRAPS can record it at native resolution. It looks much better now. I'm uploading the videos now, but it will take a while since they are big (27MB and 41MB) and I have a slow upstream speed.pandora's box said:same thing here. made a fraps video of bf2 yesterday. had 8xssaa 16xaf and a clamped lod bias. the video had no aa applied, and there was shimmering everywhere, yet in the game there was none at all.
what an ignorant thing to say. there are plenty of people that see it without having to look for it. high quality and lod clamp help make it almost a non issue for most people. the type of monitor has an impact on how bad it is. if you dont see it then thats great but saying others are just trying to find fault with their card is ridiculous .rhexis said:i have a 7800gtx and i have never observed a shimmering issue. i guess if i looked hard enough i could find it but i bought the card to play games not to try and find fault with it.
There is a difference from knowing what it is and not seeing it. I use CRT's 99% of the time. I used a LCD once for gaming for 2 days and noticed no ghosting (and I was expecting it). The experience has made me, a CRT ******, want to get an LCD. If it doesn't effect gameplay or isn't even noticable, what is the problem?HopePoisoned said:he didn't even understand what ghosting was

I have an ATI X800XL and I have shimmering. It's not like it bothers me though. I've been gaming a long time and could care less about stuff like that.rhexis said:the fact of the matter is the ones complaining about shimmering are either ati trolls or anal-retentive hardware geeks that spend more time benchmarking than playing games.
rhexis said:plenty eh? any idea how many nvidia cards are out there in the wild? i would venture to guess its in the 100s of thousands. out of all those cards being out there i have read reports from less than 50 people complaining of shimmering. in the grand scheme of things that is hardly plenty. the fact of the matter is the ones complaining about shimmering are either ati trolls or anal-retentive hardware geeks that spend more time benchmarking than playing games.
another ignorant comment. its not like there are thousands of people to even make a comment in these forums. what percentage of nvidia card owners even belong to or visit forums anyway. some people dont play any of the games where shimmering is obvious. some people use the known fixes to help elimanate it. a lot of people dont have large monitors where shimmering would more noticeable. if you dont have a problem with it then stf up because there are enough people with legitimate complaints that it should be fixed. most people complaining about shimmering are actually nvidia fans not ati trolls. the people that love their nvidia cards would like the problem fixed.rhexis said:plenty eh? any idea how many nvidia cards are out there in the wild? i would venture to guess its in the 100s of thousands. out of all those cards being out there i have read reports from less than 50 people complaining of shimmering. in the grand scheme of things that is hardly plenty. the fact of the matter is the ones complaining about shimmering are either ati trolls or anal-retentive hardware geeks that spend more time benchmarking than playing games.
actually im 34 and trying to insult me doesnt help anything. why does it bother you so much that thousands of people have an iq issue with nvidia? if you dont have a problem with shimmering and cant add anything constructive then stay out of the thread.rhexis said:only the anal-retentive, no life outside of video card benchmarking, people such as yourself. hey let me guess...the word ignorant was on your jr high spelling test this week huh?

what cursing? stop trolling.rhexis said:why did you remove the cursing? did you realize that swearing at me doesnt really help prove your point? regardless, you need to cool your jets cochise. you are getting yourself all worked up over nothing. oh and from reading your posts i dont think you have an iq issue with nvidia. perhaps just an iq issue.
fallguy said:Read the article, not everyone does notice it. People with higher resolutions, bigger monitors, and LCD's notice it more. The 2405FPW is all of those, and to me, shimmering is easily noticed on it.

Anyway, I am tired of people acting like shimmering is a Nvidia only problem. I have a 7800 gt and I don't notice shimmering whatsoever once I turn on HQ , AA and AF. However, at a LAN party I noticed my friend with his x800 gets horrible shimmering, especially in WoW.
