So far I've mostly used default settings for all emulation options, since I haven't had many problems in the games I normally play.

I'll now test the same example I described in my last post with your suggested change and report the result here later.

I'm replying to my own post here, to add the results of the test mentioned in it.

The color banding does occur both with buffered (default) and non-buffered rendering. As I switched to non-buffered rendering it even caused additional banding which was not clearly visible before, primarily in near circular bands around the main light source in this 3D scene.

I think one reason I haven't noticed this problem much earlier is that many of the games I play use fairly simple graphics methods (like most NIS RPGs do, for example), with just a single texture mapped to each 3D surface without complex 3D effects. But a game like FF7 crisis core is at the other end of the spectrum graphics-wise with a lot of combined effects in the 3D scenes such as drifting smog, multiple light sources etc, making it ideal for testing this kind of problem.

Btw: I did notice a lot of banding in the initial 'automatic' scenes of the game too, before the user gets any control, but I disregarded those as possibly being just movie playback effects, which is another issue entirely.
