    Replacement Card for 8800GTX SLI?

    I have two 8800GTX cards running in SLI. I want to replace this setup with a single card that will out perform the 8800's. I don't want to go all out and get a top of the line card but I'm hoping you can recommend something in the $300-$400 range.

    Is this Samsung Monitor good for gaming?

    On the back of the monitor there is a sticker with the model number and serial. Your panel letter will follow the model number. For example in my case it shows this: Model: 226BW C That means that I have the C panel. I'm not exactly happy about it either, check this out...

    Samsung 226BW and Ghosting Issue...

    This weekend I brought over my friends 226BW with the S panel to run on my system. I wanted to perform a somewhat controlled test and use both monitors on the same PC. For my gaming PC I run an AMD X2 4200+, 2GB RAM, 7800GTX video and X-Fi sound card on WinXP Pro (SP2). The model with the S...

    Cant decide which 22inch to get.

    I went with the 226BW and was hoping for the S panel but got the C. If I had to do it over again I would probably go with the Dell. Check out the halo effect I'm getting on my 226BW with RTA is turned on: http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1184546

    Samsung 226BW and Ghosting Issue...

    I probably shouldn't have used the term "ghosting" to describe this as it's not exactly the same effect as I've experienced on the very early LCD's. With ghosting you would see a sort of smudge behind a moving object, similar in colour as the object. But what I see with the RTA on is a sort of...

    Samsung 226BW and Ghosting Issue...

    Interesting... I checked and RTA was on ON...I set it to OFF and the ghosting is gone!!! What's interesting is that my coworker who was lucky enough to get a S model has it set to ON but no ghosting.

    Samsung 226BW and Ghosting Issue...

    Yeah...I just filed a RMA with Newegg. I can't believe Samsung is using LCD displays that vary so much in performance. I always used SyncMaster CRT monitors and had great success with them but If Samsung will pull this kind of crap...the 226BW will be my last Samsung product.

    Samsung 226BW and Ghosting Issue...

    I picked it up from Newegg...I'm going to see if I can return it and get an Acer 22"... As for the VSync, I have it disabled in the game and I'm allowing the drive setting to be controlled by the application.

    Samsung 226BW and Ghosting Issue...

    I just purchased the Samsung 226BW 22" display based on the many positive posts and reviews. I recieved the display yesterday plugged it in, checked for any dead pix (none) and fired up CS:S. First 5 minutes was great but then I noticed this odd fading around object and/or models. It really...
