    It's more obvious in some games than others.  It basically looks like
part of the image was dithered down to 8 bit color, to put it in as simple
terms as I can.  I'm not very good at explaining things, that's why you may
misunderstand what I said.  ( Then again, maybe you understood it
perfectly).  I just bought X-Wing Alliance, and I see quite a bit of it if I
look around the cockpit and when the intro video is playing.  (It's not my
card's fault for the banding in the intro video, it's just like that,
especially if you take a look at the light blue planet just before the
battle starts in the intro.)
    If you don't notice it, then that's great!  That will be something you
won't have to worry about.  For the rest of us, however, that do notice it,
we have to take it into account when we decide which new card to buy.
