He said nothing has changed, when in fact it has.
The bolded part, is a fact. Let me guess, now thats its in a real review, its still not good enough? I didnt say everyone has it, or could notice it. I said that on "certain hardware", its a big issue. Which is the truth. I would bet money if anyone who claims shimmering is not there, that if you were to come over and see my 24" LCD, and GTX's, you could easily see it. Its not like I have to go looking for it. In fact, I try *not* to look for it. But its so obvious, I cant.
There are many videos of it out there. Ive posted a few on these forums, and the usual suspects just deny them still. And you do care, or you wouldnt have asked for one.
Ok, maybe you missed my post (obviously.)
"My temper is fine. You may not notice it, or know what it is, but its there." - 5 people say otherwise.
"Your screen size, or res may not be large enough show it enough for you to notice it." - I told you it's a 21" LCD, 1680x1050. How much larger do I need? I have a 30" Apple Cinema I can hook up just to satisfy you.
"Let me guess, now thats its in a real review, its still not good enough?" - I can write a "real" review too. That doesn't mean it's factual.
Granted, I just noticed the "on certain hardware" clause in your post, but the way you are writing is more "these cards are *bleeped* up." Maybe with specific hardware (not mine, I just put the 30" cinema on, and I nor my friends *still* do not see it.) I would just suggest you stop over-generalizing and take a far less negative tone when dealing with people on the internet. You'll get a lot further.
The issue I have with your "fact" claiming, is it isn't fact. It might be the case with Dell 2405's (as it seems 99% of the people with problems have them) and Nvidia cards there is an issue, but I'm telling you, I do *not* have shimmering, both on a 21" and 30" lcd. I know what I'm looking for, I've seen shimmering on low quality lcds before. My friends aren't blind either, if 5 people can't see it then either we're all really lucky to be shimmering-blind, or it isn't occuring with my hardware.
Nothing you've said makes it some kind of "fact" though. Maybe a niche incompatibility issue, or something else (are you a HW engineer? I'm not - I couldn't begin to tell you the *Real* cause of your problems.)
If it's that bad, you should have returned your card. Nvidia isn't going to listen until they lose money. The only way they'll lose money is if people quit buying their stuff. If enough people had this horrendus shimmering that the vocal minority are preaching about, and Nvidia was losing sales, they'd fix it (whatever it is.) It just seems to be a niche thing, isolated to gamers on (from what I've mostly read about the issue) larger Dell LCDs. I doubt that makes it of financial importances to Nvidia to redesign hardware (if it's a HW issue) in the immediate future.
