He's also far from unopposed on this issue. I brought to light his
factual inaccuracies lest those people that want to quote him as if
he's the biblical reference on 3D sources also realize he's not
infallible. Again, I'll state, in many cases where the image quality
is markedly inferior, other people who use a different nVidia board
with different drivers observe an improvement in quality.
Unfortunately, I can't use a Diamond Viper's drivers on my STB
Velocity, so I still have some problems with some games (such as CPR),
but the drivers are still being brought along and bugs (including
those which affect image quality) are being ironed out. I do not deny
there have been image quality problems. But I will say that those
that love to claim that its the CHIPSET and is therefore unfixable are
being routinely proven wrong as software patches from the game
developer as well as new drivers demonstrate that the problem was in
software all along.
