Sky comparison. SH2 vs SH5. 2001 vs 2010.

You have SkyTopColor and SkyBottomColor and the shader now interpolates the colors and transitions between them. To get rid of the sky gradient bandings you must define a better and smoother algorithm within the shader.

so could some GPUs be handling that better than others? Is there a way to alter this oneself, or do we need a patch from the devs?
