ATI cannot make working video drivers

[audiofreak]

Audiofreak, you're wasting your time dude.. You know the old saying,"You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink."

Well it applies here.

Some people just don't want to admit that ATI (now AMD) has inferior texture filtering to Nvidia.. It's always been like that, since Nvidia came out with the G80.

Anyway, the price for apathy is that AMD will continue to short it's customers in that department.

I know, sigh... I am not doing this because of those "horses". I am doing this so that other enthusiasts can make an educated choice if they care about image quality like I do.

We'll see in a few weeks whether the 6xxx series has the same problem..

Well, TwL of Guru3D (the guy who makes modified Catalyst drivers) thinks that the anisotropic filtering problem may be with drivers. If that is true, then it won't work properly on HD 6xxx as well.

On the other hand, if the problem is in hardware (some people speculate it may have to do with too small of a texture cache size), then HD 6xxx might have a fix for that or might not.
