All ATI cards (that I tested) with no exception... show the render viewer in less than sewage quality. (if I sound angry.. its cuz i am : )
Switching to nvidia gets clear results.
If I knew this before hand, I would spit on Maya and switch to any other professional 3d package.
Unacceptable !
Thanks for your replies guys. They're really appreciated!
Don't be so quick to trash Maya. This is the first I've heard of a problem like yours. Are you sure it isn't just a setting? Sounds like a stupid question, but have you tried deleting the preferences and see if that does anything?
Up until recently, all I've ever owned were ATI cards and I never experienced that problem. Are you using different ATI cards on the same system? Try you preferred card on another system and see if it still does it. If it doesn't then at least you know it isn't the video card.
Try updating to the latest drivers and possibly flash your BIOS.
As I said, I've not experienced this issue nor have I heard of it which is why I can't narrow it down except to suggest the above.
I'll see if the I.T. guy at work can think of something.
