This level looks the same in vq3 too - it's not gen-specific. Any advice on how to make the ramp trim look smooth?

(the map is pjw3tourney4_b1 btw)

Looks like it might be mipmap falloff causing that.  Do you have a copy of the map I could look at?

that's a video card setting, iirc, ati cards have a slider for quality vs speed. I tend to set the quality higher. I THINK that's what tab's talking about. As I always set the quality high, I don't have the problem you're having Slipgate - Tongue

Confirmed.  It's definitely settings for your vid driver.  I tested it out with r_colormiplevels 1 and I saw very little mipmap falloff with my settings, and the texturing looked fine.  I have mipmap bias set insanely low through Riva Tuner so that I don't have to set my anisotropic filtering as high to get cleaner textures.  I get a little moire that way, but I prefer a slight moire over having to choose between blurry textures and crawling framerates.

If you want to, try running with and without r_colormiplevels 1 (requires a vid restart) and compare the colors to this screenshot.  If you see a lot of strong colors right where your texture clarity is dividing harshly then you need to tweak some settings.
