Yeah, I downloaded Diamonds latest drivers FROM FEBRURARY (CAN YOU BELIEVE THEY HAVENT UPDATED SINCE THEN?

Anyway, I have viper770 Ultra and after using Diamonds Drivers I noticed that they have one noticeable difference. They have mip maps set to 0 at the hardware level. I think that might be the root cause of this. Under Nvidias latest drivers (several versions) we have been unable to set the mip map level manually (unless there is a registry hack out there to allow this).

I believe that is probably what ASUS has done. If you right click on your desktop and click properties then settings then advanced then the Riva TNT tab (if your driver has this tab) then Additional properties you can see what the mip map level is. Otherwise ASUS may have modified the Control Panel for this. Look for mip map settings under your display properties and see what the mip map level is. I would be curious to know....

Thanks!
