I also heard that e.g. in Flight Simulator 2004 the G92 chipset just leads to annoying flickering and some people even do not get AA & AF to work correctly, etc.

@Rubini: Did you try out nHancer so far?
BTW: I almost got the same rig as you... But I decided to take the ASUS P5E MB instead of Gigabyte. I'm now waiting for my Gainward 8800GT 512 GS GLH which isn't available for weeks now...
If you say the image quality is much better on ATi, i think ill order the PC 3870 PCS

Greetings,

No, I haven't tried nHancer yet but I will and will post my finds for Sh3/Sh4 here soon. Thanks for the tip.

The other games so-so. New games I have like Crysis, Gears of War and Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare all played great on the new card. Your choice of GC is based on a matter of personal choice.
You are right, my new 8800GT runs TombRaider Annyversary and CD4 very well...but the shimmering textures are noticeable in CD4 and Crysis, mainly at night...as this is an old issue I guess that Nvidia drivers had the time to fix this, no?? I just cant understand why they don't fixed it as this is a old issue in all the games boards.

About the new Ati cards, well, the problem is really only with Crysis (a bit more slow than the acceptable - until now). As I'm a eye candy guy and as I like some old sims...I can change the cards without problems if a fix don't apperas for this in time.

But, if i knew about these issues before I buy the new card I surely had bought an Ati card. My 2 cents. (sorry by my english... )
