I picked up the new Asus PB278Q AHVA version and it's the best 2560x1440 IPS Monitor that I've used. The AHVA IPS Technology is much better then my old LG and Samsung monitors. As the new PB278Q AHVA has no input lag and 5 ms response time. I don't see any ghosting and I can play CS:GO and this...

How so? Side by side and if you check out the reviews it is a great monitor. And it's even better once calibrated.

I've been looking into getting myself a good IPS monitor and it was between the "New" Asus PB278Q with the new AHVA panel, or the new BenQ AH-IPS monitor. After checking them out at a retail store. I found the difference to be very small in terms of Panel AG coating and after reading some...

I will say, When I went from my Dual Core to my Quad Core, I did notice a difference. Biggest difference I noticed was much less fps drops and depending on the game a much better avg fps. I am also looking into a video card upgrade as I am running a 4870 1GB right now and have had it for a...

With this card you will not be CPU bound at all, if you really want the most out of it.. once you start going much past 1920x1080 you will not see a difference from a C2D to a Core i5 or i7.. imo, well alot of people know this.. It is not worth getting a Core i5 or i7 for you gaming PC if you...

The 4 best cards I have owned, my X700 Pro was my first gaming video card.. then I went to the X1800XT it was awesome.. Then the 8800GTS 640MB when it came out.. and Right now the best card I have owned is my ATI 4870 1GB it runs all the games I play at highest settings.. I got into BF:BC2 and I...

Yeah it seems all Monitors are now 23" rather then 24" and they are all 1920x1080... but like I said I like this monitor for gaming but I cant handle the fact it does not lift up I had to buy this stupid 30 doller stand for it and I have this awesome monitor sitting right next to me that will...

My, LG 24" just died on me when installing Win7, well a sound driver for it.. I came back I guess the PC went into sleep mode and now the monitor will not even power on.. so long story short.. I went to best buy and got me the Samsung XL2370. Its a 23" 1920x1080.. and I must say the Color is...

Go with a Q9550 OC to 3.4Ghz you will be set for years with that.. for gaming the i7 is not any better then a C2Q.. For Video go with a HD 4870 1GB, they are in the relm of the GTX 275 in some games even closer to the GTX 280.. I just did a system rebuild.. I lost my PSU,Mobo and Ram in a...

If you are using the system for gaming.. you will not noitce a difference, going from a newer Quad core.. even the Q6600, there is not a difference when running the same clock.. I have a few friends that went from Quad cores to the i7 and they are pretty pissed right now, lol.. but yeah Im...

It really, seem's like more people are going back to ATI.. I mean I always went with ATI untill they had there 2XXX,3XXX flop... my fist video card was a X700 Pro did a small upgrade to a X800XL then I went with the X1800XT.. once the Nvidia 8XXX cards cards came out and I seen how good the 8800...

a Core 2 Quad will run any game just as good or better then a i7.. so much people forget it is the GPU that is most needed to run a game good, yes if you have a slow CPU it will bottleneck but, right now any C2Q at 3GHz or higher will do the job even in SLI at max res.. I was going to go with...

this is why, I am not to happy with intel right now.. The C2Q is still there best CPU to date.. So much people went from a Core 2 Quad to the i7 and gained so much as nothing... I am going to upgrade to a Q9550 in a few week's just cuz I have had this C2D for such a long time and the fact that...

lol, The i7 is really not worth it for a gamer at all.. a Core 2 Quad is a much better choice. believe me, I have friends that went from Core 2 Quad's to i7's and they are not happy with it at all.. do the research your self.. C2Q is the way to go.. unless you are building up a whole now rig...

I went from a 8800 GTS 640 to a HD 4870 1GB and I noticed a Huge difference.. like in COD4, I can run 4X aa everything maxxed highest settings when befor I had to turn alot of the nice stuff off.. Much smoother game play.. Crysis a Huge difference, I can play it at native res 1920X1200...

I would say its the CPU to, IMO you need at least a Core 2 Duo or Phenom II @ 3Ghz but a C2Q would be best for gaming right now.. I am going to order a C2Q in about 2 weeks.. Q9550 @ 3.4GHz and I know I will not notice a huge difference in most games but still, they will just run smoother...

You might want to upgrade that CPU.. Right now for gaming the best you can go with would be a Q9550 with a good OC on it.. Alot of games now use Multi Core.. TF2, L4D, MW:2.. I am running a C2D at 3GHz and I am not having any bottlenecking at all.. But the HD 4870 1GB is a monster card.. I am...

I am also upgrading to a Core 2 Quad, due to the fact you will notice better gameplay (not more fps) but just better gameplay overall.. I also am going for the Core 2 Quad cuz the CPU I have is old.. E6420 OC'ed to 3Ghz and this PC runs good my specs Processor: Core 2 Duo 6420 3ghz Memory...

The i7 is nice but as far as gaming goes, you really will not see a difference.. I have been running a Core 2 Duo for a while now and Im going to upgrade to the Q9550 just for the newer games that will be coming out that will support Quad CPU's.. Funny thing is, my 6420 @3ghz has been screaming...

I just got the XFX HD 4870. It will run Higher AA then the 260.. I can run 8x AA and I will not lose any FPS as with the 260.. you run AA you are going to notice a big drop.. They are all very good cards but the fact the HD 4870 is only $150 and it runs the same as the 260 and 4890. you just...

naw dude just alot of shit has gone down around xmas.. and to top it all off when I was down at the shooting range I found that the jackass at youngguns mounted my scope wrong... so I got a new scope just waiting to get the mounts for my R700

bump bump bump...

I did get about 200 more points in 3dmark 06 with the shader on 1700 so I guess that can't hurt.. but yeah Im gonna try to OC my mem to 2000 right now it is back at 1900... ill run rdmark and see what happens when I get the chance to OC the mem higher

lost about 10 fps with aa x4 but its worth it...

Well I just went and set it to 1700 on the shader and I really could not tell any difference at all.. I did bump up the mem to 1000 tho rather then 950 and got maby 1 more fps... I could go higher on the core but I think 675 is a good spot... So I just relinked the shader with core clock and...

Well I do alway's have AC on in my roon so my ambeint temp at load is about 42-46C and my Core is about 60-65C after about 2 -3 hours in cod4... I do have the Antec 900 tho and that help's alot so I have heard... but when I did go from 600 to 675 I did notice a huge difference in gameplay...

I am running my 8800GTS 640 PNY @ 675 core and 950 on the mem is that ok cuz I did in game tests and everything is fine and I ran ati tool for 20 mins and the highest the temnp goes is 64... and in the game testing I did it at the part of the game that droped the fps down to 40 cuz normal fps is...

and another thing I am running my 8800GTS 640 PNY @ 675 core and 950 on the mem is that ok cuz I did in game tests and everything is fine and I ran ati tool for 20 mins and the highest the temnp goes is 64... and in the game testing I did it at the part of the game that droped the fps down to 40...

if I run my ram at 1:1 on my PC8500 and I have my fsb at 333 will I notiice any difference if I run it at a 667 or 1066 some say running it at 1:1 is best but I just wanna make sure... and if there is a difference will it be more fps in game's and how much more like 2-3 or 10? ( my specs are in...

yeah there was not drop in fps at all... and when i put it on the lowest setting I couldnt tell a gain in fps.. best is just leave it stock..

Hey you know how in nvidia control panel you can set the textrue filtering quality.. it is on quality by defalt but what if I put it to "High Quality" ? Will I get more fps in game's? and how much more fps.. I am trying to push out every little bit in COD4 with the rig in my sig.. but I...

yeah even if you have to go with 1680x1050 for widescreen, it is worth it.. I have a nice 24" 1920x1200 and I would not be able to go back to 4:3. widescreen is just to nice..

Nice build, I really wish I would have had wiring in mind when I got my antec 900. I really hate how I can't hide all my wire's..

the 8800GTS 640MB is faster then the 320MB when using AA on any sinze monitor.. it also depend's on the game.. some game's you cant tell much but other's the 640MB is much faster.. it would be stupid to buy the 320MB GTS..

what about a 30" montior?? what does that have to do with anything? with crysis even on a 19 inch montior need sli if you want 60-fps even on mid/high settings.. I would say SLI is for anything 1080p and up.. and some game's.. (crysis) even 1650x1050 and up..

the temps are crazy high

anyone know a good prog??

use the in game demo system then record that so you dont have to play at low fps.. that is what most ppl do... never heard of using it while playing.. I cant play at 30 fps..

I dunno crysis does not seem all that good.. it is just all about the hype and the graphics... cod4 is a much better game..
