With the launch of the GeForce 7800 GTX, Nvidia showed that the strong performance of its former SM3 flagship, GeForce 6800 Ultra, may still be topped. Beneath more and improved pipelines, the G70 offers higher clock speeds. Useful new anti-aliasing modes were added as well. In terms of the level of texture quality, however, Nvidia seems to evaluate the demands of its high-end customers as fairly low. The new high-end chip G70 produces texture shimmering with activated anisotropic filtering (AF). Just as a reminder: This applies to the NV40 (GF 6800 series) in standard driver settings as well, but this can be remedied by activating the "High Quality" mode.
