Magnulus, what is "inherent moire"? It would seem to me the moire effect
would be visible on either a LCD or a CRT?

Another possibility is that this stuff is not visible at all on a regular
monitor- perhaps they are just too blurry. An LCD monitor has a fixed
aspect ratio, has no inherent moire, and so on. Perhaps this stuff has
been there all along and nobody has really payed attention to it. It's
definitely a subtle effect and if you are busy fragging you probably won't
notice it.

It's interesting that ATI and NVidia are both pushing SLI/Crossfire cards
for their many image quality improvements. One of the improvements is
"texture quality", they often cite. Ie, reducing crawling textures.
Well, it would make more sense to me, rather than using a supersample
anti-aliasing mode and 2 video cards, to just "get it right", nip it in
the bud at the texture mapping and filtering stages rather than when the
scene is being rendered.
