"AMD appears to agree with everyone else. As it turns out their texture mapping units on the 5000 series really do have an issue with texture filtering, specifically when it comes to “noisy” textures with complex regular patterns. AMD’s texture filtering algorithm was stumbling here and not properly blending the transitions between the mipmaps of these textures, resulting in the kind of visible transitions that we saw in the above Trackmania screenshot."
Can they fix it? Or are those of use who bought a 5800 just screwed? If we are still under warranty is there any chance of laying claim to the fact that the card does not work as advertised and getting it replaced? What options are available?
