Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
If you search on my username, you'll find a load of threads here on the Acer 2216, which I have, and I like a lot.
Costco sells the Acer (check your local store) and no-one beats their return policy
The 1680x1050 has to be set up as a custom resolution. Good news is you can do that with Nvidia cards as follows:
Control Panel>Display>Settings>Advanced>7900 tab>Screen Resolutions and Refresh Rates>Add button>(enter 1680 1250 32bit 60 hz)
Done
It is normal for Acers to sometimes show...
I have the Acer AL2216wbd and I'm very happy with it. Cost $399 then, now $329 on Newegg.
There are lots of recent discussions on this monitor and others for you to research on this forum.
Wait! It depends what you play. You might be CPU limited if fps is only just acceptable at 1280x1024. The 6600GT isnt a bad card. Some games are very demanding on CPU (and even RAM)
I have a 6800nu (128Mb RAM) and it works great with IL2FB/Pacific Fighters in 1680x1050. It also works great...
