    Correct.
    It's shimmering like hell, even the Geforce 7800 could be considered as shimmering-free compared to S3's AF implementation.
    I'm also not sure about current driver releases, i've seen it a couple of month ago at a friend of mine but he sold the card shortly afterwards (due to crappy drivers, the biggest problem S3 have IMO).

    You know very well that I've read that article of yours even before it went on air LOL. The reason why I'm asking is because I'm also very well aware of the side-effects that some users report (see former posts above), but sadly never had the chance to throw a DC through it's hurdles. I don't believe in coincidences and when I hear about "correct tri and AF" I wouldn't expect any side-effects to be visible.

    I can't see any shimering on my DeltaChrome S8 and I have AF activated (nearly) always. Can you give me an example where this should be visible? Perhaps there was a bug in some early drivers... *shrug*

    @Robbi
    Have you noticed such a behaviour of DC anywhere?

    @Ail
    With some luck, I will get several AGP cards from S3 in the next days. Perhaps I could send you one for testing if you want to

    I hope S3 will make a comeback. More 3D chip vendors mean lower prices for us.
    I was also kinda impressed with their Savage3D back in those days. Especially S3TC support (UT99 mmmmm :) )
