    Need GPU upgrade advice...

    Correct, I do not have an SLI board. I went SLI when I had dual 7800 gtx's and it just didn't seem worth it to me. So, when I built my last computer; I went the single card route.

    Need GPU upgrade advice...

    Thanks for the reality check on the 4850. I'm definitely going to pick up a gtx 260.

    Think I'll wait for another round of price cuts on the gtx 260's (over-clocked core 216) and pick one up when they hit under $200.

    Need GPU upgrade advice...

    I'm a little surprised by the recommendations for the 4850. I was under the impression that it's not that much of any upgrade over an 8800 gtx (but apparently I was wrong). I've seen some on Newegg around $150 or so - pre mail-in rebates, but it looks like the gtx 260's are still around the...

    When is next release of NVIDIA card??

    Sounds like I'll be holding off on a GPU upgrade until after the first of the year. Who knows, maybe then I'll be able to afford (justify) buying a GTX 280!

    Need GPU upgrade advice...

    I use my computer for a lot of Photoshop, Flash and Illustrator work as well as gaming. I don't do any video editing, nor do I watch movies on my PC. My main interest is, in this case, gaming. Specifically at native resolution for my monitor and justifying enough of an upgrade over my...

    Very blue new LCD

    Picked up an LG L206WTQ-BF the other day and while I like it, it's got a massive blue tint! Everything that's supposed to be white or light gray is blue-ish white/blue-ish grey. I have tried raising the red gamma/brightness/contrast, then everything turns purplish. No matter what I do, I can't...

    Dual monitor question

    I have a 24" LG and a 20" LG that I use in a dual monitor setup. The 24" is the primary, the 20" the secondary. There are some games I prefer to play on the 20" versus the 24". There any way to quickly designate which montior should be the primary display for a specific application? I...

    Bought the Samsung 245BW... thinking about the LG L246WP-BN!?!?

    Here's my take from owning both: Samsung 245bw: + Excellent text sharpness + Excellent response time + Excellent input lag + Reasonably priced +/- Good color reproduction - Poor viewing angle - Less input options LG 246wp: + Excellent color reproduction + Excellent viewing...

    Bought the Samsung 245BW... thinking about the LG L246WP-BN!?!?

    In R0ach's "defense" (and I use that term EXTREMELY LOOSLY), i will agree that in general text is not as sharp as the Samsung. It's by NO means blurry, or unsharp, just not as razor sharp. The Sammy also has a sharpness setting that can be manipulated, where the LG does not. I find myself...
