mmmm...that image is a cropped piece out of a full size render that was 3600x3000. I increased the size of that smaller selection to show the issue.  I also called Colin at e-frontier and he mentioned to me that the minimum shading rate of 0.02 was a good setting.  Raytrace at 2 was ok, 1 might be better, but as he said it is like doing a bracket test on a camera, try a few up and  a few down to find a good happy medium. Minimum Shading is a different thing tho...he suggested a setting of 0.05 not 0.50...much too high. After I get things set up again, since i reloaded poser...thinking the SR3 may have affected the texture filtering. I will let all know what it is about.
