    I owned both a GTX280 and a 4890, and with both cards at 16x AF with the highest quality settings in the drivers, the 280 had noticeably less shimmering. GT200 AF algorithm is superior to RV7x0 AF, this has been objectively demonstrated by Anandtech (I think that was the source) with test images depicting AF. Can't find the article now, but it's there.

    Yes, Nvidia's current AF algorithm is superior to ATi's, I already mentioned that quite a few times.
    The "shimmering" effect is a completely different beast and while it takes a negative effect on IQ, that isn't something that I factored into the equation.


    Edit- I don't know how I am not being clear enough...
    Basically Nvidia's AF is better than ATi's in the same way that ATi's AA is better than Nvidia's.
    The difference is so negligible that it is extremely hard to see in-game.

    Once the government outlaws your guns your life is forfeit. You're already dead, it's just a question of when they are going to get around to you.
