People seem to > blame the image quality on the 16bit limitation but that is not true at all. Go back and re-read what I wrote on the subject. I KNOW about the V2 texture image quality, etc etc, and it's better on the TNT, etc etc, in fact I've stated as such many times. It's why I prefer running games on my TNT than V2 these days. My statement is that this is *not* caused by a driver issue, but the hardware itself. > Other cards in 16bit do not give the same banded, dithered, 8bit looking, > fog, smoke, and blending. It has nothing to do with 16 vs 32 bit. Nor have I stated as such. Again, don't try to correct me on things I haven't said. Read thhe thread before jumping in.
