    Pick a GPU for me to upgrade to (from GTX 285)!

    Thanks for those links blastingcap. I am starting to think that the GTX 470 is the way to go. But perhaps I should look at the ATI series too. I was checking this out: http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/ASUS/EAH_5850_TOP_DirectCu/30.html I know I'm in the nVidia forum, but what do you guys...

    Oh right, I should mention that I'm running on a Dell 2408WPF at 1900x1200.

    Pick a GPU for me to upgrade to (from GTX 285)!

    I looked at the benchmarks and they seem to indicate that they would give a slight increase in performance, mostly in newer games. But I'm not sure how future proof it is and whether or not the other cards might be a better value.

    Rotating screen shortcut key

    I think that some laptops with an Intel integrated graphics chip can rotate the display with a simple shortcut key: Ctrl+Alt+Up/Down/Left/Right. Does anyone know if there is such a thing for nVidia folks? Just in case it matters, I've got a GTX285.

    Dell 2408FPW + Spyder3Pro - Gaming color profile

    Thank you very much, I hadn't considered that. I will check it out right now! -EDIT- I just gave it a shot, but I can't seem to figure out how to load the ICM file that my Spyder3Pro generated. I am aware I can edit the settings myself on the sliders, but is there a way to use the ICM...

    Dell 2408FPW + Spyder3Pro - Gaming color profile

    Well, it appears to me that the profile is active when I run the game in windowed mode, but certainly not in fullscreen :( Isn't there a way to color correct on the driver/hardware level with the data that the Spyder3Pro provides?

    Dell 2408FPW + Spyder3Pro - Gaming color profile

    Hi everyone, I have a Dell 2408FPW. I've 'calibrated' my monitor properly using the Spyder3Pro. Everything looks much better now (no more green cast) and all, but I can't get the settings to stick whenever I run a game. Namely I'm running Fallout 3 right now. I notice that in the...
