this is sad to see, honestly it was a nice quasi-open application thats going to be eclipsed by closed/proprietary goo wrt newer releases, I had no issues with FO3 (and therefore I would suspect New Vegas should probably work), but thats the newest title I've tried it with (so no idea for...

this is a limitation of the games you're playing, most of them aren't designed to not have fullscreen/focus constantly (and some of them will just straight out crash if they lose focus) - you cannot (at least on a Windows box) have >1 application in focus at once a few games have built-in...

while you are correct this thread is nearly a year old :eek:

displayport has >2x more bandwidth than DL DVI last time I checked OP: if you have either two graphics adapters or one of the Radeon HD 5--- series boards, what you've outlined will work, you just need an (active) DP to DVI adapter will work just fine at 120hz, no reason it shouldn't...

either is generally fine 1920x1080 on a 22" is roughly the same pixel density/pitch as a 30" WQXGA or a 20" UXGA 1680x1050 is considerably "larger" pixels, again, not really a problem, roughly similar pixel density/pitch to 17" SXGA or 24" WUXGA see above. really I'm not sure why with...

read what the pinouts actually route to, and consider that all of the jack sense stuff is controller-side, the audio is still on the same pins with correct phase - if jack sense doesn't line up for you just cut it out and go with that or find a front panel bay that does what you want, if you...

those big Mc amps are ridiculous (ignoring the power draw, they also take up a ton of space and weigh quite a bit) and Class D isn't always cheaper/smaller, its started to take off on at the higher end (Pioneer, Rotel, etc) again, I agree with what you've posted

I was responding to multiple posters there, quite civil imho sorry if it didn't seem that way Essence ST/STX perhaps? (make your own thread and you'll get a lot more replies, at least I'm fairly sure you will)

positive experiences here, only thing I've ever had an issue with is not getting user manuals sometimes - Google is your friend (I've ordered mobos recert'd)

correct me if I'm wrong, but 4870X2's are nearly impossible to find brand new; not to mention that they use something like 280W under full load (considerably more than the GTX 285) HD 5850 would be a better choice as shiro said, if thats too expensive, 5750 or 5770 are good options as well...

GPU scaling options don't help?

THG determined that you need some sort of fan/cooling for the LCD panel or it'll overheat and get blotchy after a few minutes (OHP's get hot (ok lemme restate that: anything with a >200W lightbulb gets hot))

if your motherboard supports it, 2x GTX 275 will be roughly equivalent to a GTX 295 probably equally expensive though you could also get into Tri-SLI configs with GTS 250, 260, or GTX 275 again, expensive, power hungry, etc; and motherboard support required

iirc GTX 280 has a relatively thin metal plate on the back that contacts the memory, and provides minimal cooling since I doubt you can mount that + your waterblock, I would go ahead and put some ramsinks on; they can't hurt and lower temps always helps (something like every 10* C decrease...

if I'm understanding you right, you're asking how it works if you purchase two DSM1's and want stereo output? theres a configuration switch on the DSM1 that sets which channel its supposed to be, you simply daisy chain the DSM1's together and put your computer's output on the input side of...
