ati cheating in crysis benchmark?

[RaZz!]

no, i knew it all along, i changed it cause razz suggested it, and i trust him and agree that it was easy to misunderstand.

Are you sure? That screenshot is 90% identical between GTX480 and 5870.
And i just replayed crysis & warhead in a 40" tv and didn't notice any flickering.

How about more screenshots and comparisons?

for me, the difference is pretty obvious on these screenshots. you can clearly see the banding, so it indeed is a noticible flaw.
to actually see such filter flaws while playing the game is another thing imo. if you can't compare to smth else you most likely won't notice it.

this reminds me of my 7800gt which had abysmal AF quality. i've never really noticed this issue until i got myself a 4850. i noticed the difference instantly (the texture flickering on the 7800gt was horrible, but i never thought about that as a 7000 series specific thing), and afaik the AF quality of the 4000 series isn't the best as well, so i'd probably notice another difference when switching to a 5000 series or nvidia card
