    Radius Monitor Help

    The drivers for monitors is just a list of refresh rates that the monitor safely supports. My dad's cheap KDS has a weird problem where are sort of moving back and forth. Look closely at 1280x1024 and the lines/artifacts are probably still there just small and less noticeable at the higher...

    question about 256mb cards.

    Pretty much the extra 128 won't do anything. The only reason you would need it is for max AA and AF at 2048x1536. At those setting it would run at 4 fps or something though. If you want to see what happens IQ wise when a card runs out of memory look at these shots of UT2k4. The top one is...

    UPS Questions

    With a 100 dollar budget that cuts off most of the better power supplies. You probably have to go with Belkin or Tripp Lite. I got a UPS 2 months ago for the same reason with the bad power and a need to keep a file server up during small outages. My 650 VA runs at 70% load with both comps on...

    Forcing Refresh Rates (higher) safe?

    It is possible to "overclock" the monitor to 72hz (maybe). If it doesn't work either the monitor will say invalid signal type and shut off or start smoking. If you want to eliminate tearing entirely, you must turn on Vsync. Even with 160hz tearing still happens with it off. Don't forget...

    Video-out quality

    That probably has to do with the manufacturer's choice of chip for TV output. Not just the line. Somewhere out there there is a site with a list of TV chips on video cards and the quality.

    9.9 ghz overclock

    What would the muliplier and FSB be on that thing at 9.9 ghz? Maybe 30x multiplier at 333 FSB...yeah right! There is no way that there is a motherboard out there to do that even if there was a miracle chip that could.
