This is a quote from a forum discussing dithering problems with newer nvidia cards: "Nvidia probably made some significant hardware changes which limits 16 bit rendering. Sadly reduced backwards compatibility is inevitable when technology changes. Therefore I doubt this issue will ever be fixed!" I have a 7800 geforce and am having the same problem with older games. The only work around that people have found is to install an older card with the new one and swithch back and forth depending on what application is being used. I do not have the luxury of owning two graphics cards. And besides, switching back and forth would ruin my wonderful disposition. Some people are saying that ATI cards handle dithering a little better than Nvidia. But from what I can deduce, 16 bit dithering is rapidly becoming a thing of the past.
