nVidia's AF "optimizing"?

[kylebisme]

Wow, interesting to see those benchmarks showing how much a hit you can really take from getting rid of the shimmering. I can see why the Nvidia fanboys are pissed, but for the rest of us tnis information deserving of it's own thread and by no means a repost.

Your searching skills are piss poor then. I not only posted a link in that thread, i created a whole new thread entitled "Retro Benchmarks" or something to that extent.

That pretty much negates your entire post of trying to catch me with my head up my butt crack now doesn't it

I skimmed this thread, Kevin Link. I saw no links from you but now I see that you mention you created another thread but I see no mention of the title. I seached and read your benchmarks now. I was never trying catch you with your head in your ass, I was simply defending my point that my thread is not a repost of the other one. It is NEW content that does a similar test to what you did yourself. So I don't understand your desire to lock this thread when you did the exact experiment yourself and posted a thread.

It is not controversial. It is way past controversial. Only the German sites have posted such things, and it causes Nvidia fanboys, and people like me who are tired of this "lets bash a company bullsh!t".

Look ill sum everything up in 1-2 sentences.

German site reports that there are some flickering problems with the 6 and 7 series GPU's. Nvidia says "We will fix this problem in the Rel. 80 drivers".

What more is there to discuss. Anymore discussion leads to flamewars and people getting in trouble.

Enough is enough, stop beating a dead horse.

No Offense, but for gawd sakes, ignore your freakish compelling left clicking finger super duper mousing action on the thread title. Nobody is making you read this, MUCH LESS KEEPING YOU COMING BACK TO READ IT... Just ignore this thread in the sea of thousands of threads... You dont have to prove anything to anyone...

In the other thread, i thought you said when i suggested that you disable those very optimizations, that it didn't work. What happened?

I think we have a genuine miscommunication here . I didn't do those benches concerning the shimmering. There was a seperate slightly OT topic that cropped up in that thread, which i offered to put to rest. I have only seen the shimmering based on my friends who one the card, i myself still run the *TOTALLY AWESOME* 5900XT. Oh yeah

Well when we have 4 consecutive threads on the same topic its kind of annoying. Not to mention that half of the threads in the forums are posts that the same basic principle of bashing one company in favor of another.

I never said i have anything to prove. Im just tired of scrolling through the "sea of thousands of threads" in order to find a decent post.

Good point, I should have said "some of the shimmering." It is true that even when loosing an average of 30% of the performance not all the shimmering issues are resolved.

Then there is something else the matter. While there are still H/W optimizations it would appear that this is a bug then. Because H/W optimizations will not make that large of a difference such as this.

I dunno Snowman, maybe we should just end out on going discussion until the drivers come out lol... neither of us are getting to far lol.

Oh boohoo, it's annoying... Have some will power and resist the temptation to click... You want some gratifying thread content, make some... I am browsing 6 different forums at the same time trying to find good content, there just isnt much out there truthfully. Everyone truely asks the same crap over and over for the most part.
"Which case should I buy? Lian Li is the roxorz"
"Which is better Intel or AMD? I am an Intel fanboy and they are the bomb."
"I stuck my screwdriver in my powersupply and now it wont POST, someone help me PLEASE."
"How do I sleeve my cables to make my computer 1337?"
"What overclock do you get? Mine is better!!!!"
"Which is better ATI or NVidia? ATI this and NVidia that..."

As long as you frequent the forums of most anywhere, this trend sadly wont change. Get used to it...
