Guzler I don't know why the info page is reading 128 bit unless the card is defective. There never was a 128 bit HD5850, but as I said the tearing only occurs at less than 4096 texture max. ATI knows it but it was not worth the fix for just one game. They did try a software fix that made things worse-so I switched back to Nvidia but they have intermittent driver issues-however I have never had the tearing effect when using nHancer properly! ATI is a better card in many respects though such as color and clarity. However even that is subject to the eyes of the beholder! So enjoy your ATI HD5850, it is a great card

Hey Guzler are you using a notebook with the HD5850 mobility by Radeon that is 128 bit, however you may still use the 4096 texture max and get good results. ATI did make a mobility chip with 128 for onboard video
