During the preparation of my Radeon X1900 review, I discovered a problem with Radeon X1900 cards in 3DMark06. I meant to mention it in the review itself, but things came down to the wire and I just ran out of time.
Here's the deal: in the "Firefly Forest" scene of 3DMark06, Radeon X1900 cards render an image that's not quite right. The problem is visible to the naked eye?that's how I spotted it. The glowing area around the two floating lights in that scene?the "fireflies," I suppose?looks almost as if the colors were dithered on the Radeon X1900. Like most dithering, this visual artifact is most obvious in motion; the area around the lights creeps, crawls, and "fizzes" as the light moves through the scene.

How can this be a "problem" when nobody with half a brain gives a s*** about 3dmark? |

We're just not part of the 3DMark target group then of course we think it sucks |
