    Asus Rampage Formula in Stock: ZipZoomFly

    Just wanted to let everyone know ZipZoomFly.com has Rampage Formula in stock, as of this morning, I think. Just ordered one :) My apologies if this is a duplicate of an earlier post.

    Thoughts on Samsung 226BW?

    Cool, so maybe I'm not losing it, then! Always encouraging :)

    Thoughts on Samsung 226BW?

    OK, now I'm curious. I'm going to see if my CRT shows that same tearing as well on the ghosting test. I wonder...

    It's the Online Monitor Ghosting Test V2 at this link, if that helps clarify the particular test: http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1865 Interesting. Just ran it on my 1907FP at work and it does the same thing. Need to find a better test, I guess!

    Thoughts on Samsung 226BW?

    zigaroo, You don't sound snotty at all--rather, I greatly appreciate your analysis and insight. I really miss the higher-resolution display--I have to admit it. I may try hooking it back up and trying it again. The thing that got me was I tried running a "ghosting" test web page I saw...

    Thoughts on Samsung 226BW?

    Well, crap. At least I found the problem. Unfortunately, it _is_ the monitor. I've never run games on my 997DF CRT at anything beyond 1024x768, since I had a 6800GT forever, and only very recently acquired a 7950GT OC. 1280x1024 @ 85 Hz: Lowest details (exact same as when using...

    Thoughts on Samsung 226BW?

    I think I'm going to hook up my 997DF CRT and see what it looks like with the exact same settings. If it's super-smooth then I may just return the LCD and wait another few years. I don't do a lot of games, but I do like them quite a bit, and the visual distortion/tearing is quite...

    Thoughts on Samsung 226BW?

    I would agree with you there... but even with the LOWEST detail settings possible and no FSAA it's horribly unsmooth. I don't think that's GPU-related... NFSU2 with full details at 1280x1024 would require at least as much, if not more, processing power from the GPU than NFSMW at 1280x1024...

    Thoughts on Samsung 226BW?

    Thanks for the reply, dbthump. I didn't reinstall the drivers--I already had 93.71 installed for use with my 6800GT. Would it do any good to reinstall the same version?

    Thoughts on Samsung 226BW?

    Backlighting is superb on this one. Very, very happy with the static display, but I really wanted a good gaming monitor. :( I wonder... should I go for a 19" instead, that would support the more standard 1280x1024 resolution? If so, is there a "king of all 19s" for gamers? I would need...

    Thoughts on Samsung 226BW?

    Yes, I've tried the CNC3 demo, which does support 1680x1050. It looks fantastic. NFS2 Underground, oddly enough, looks a great deal smoother than NFSMW. Both in 1280x1024 or 1280x960. Weird. Hmmm... any advice on what to do with older games, then? I saw some weird scaling options in...

    Thoughts on Samsung 226BW?

    Hi, All, I finally made my first LCD purchase, and picked up a Samsung 226BW. The TN panel is rated for 5 ms B-t-B, and 2 ms G-t-G, but I'm not completely sure if it's "fast" enough for me. If there's a great deal of movement on the screen all at once (NFS Most Wanted, for example)...

    Best X2 939 CPU for Asrock 939?

    I haven't tried overclocking it yet, but no issues so far. It's pretty dang zippy. I flashed to the latest BIOS (2.20) prior to installing the OS. Only two things on the board I don't like, really: 1) System/front panel power LED connector is only 2-pin. Aaargh. 2) Floppy...
