    New GeForce 196.21 WHQL drivers from Nvidia

    This driver release broke custom resolutions for me. I had the option of adding 800x600 (@75Hz) and 1024x768 (@75Hz) with the previous 195.62 drivers. Now I'm stuck with 60Hz on 800x600 and 70Hz on 1024x768.

    Weird cursor behavior with Steam (chat window)

    For some reason, every time I move my mouse cursor over a Steam chat window, my mouse cursor ends up turning into a distorted green looking re-size cursor for a really quick second, and it then goes back to a normal looking cursor. It only happens on Steam chat windows, and it doesn’t happen...

    Acer H233H with Xbox 360 and PS3 (scaling issue/jaggy mess)

    Well I've been using my Acer H233H bmid 23-Inch Widescreen LCD with my computer for a while now, @ 1920 x 1080 (60hz). It looks phenomenal as a computer display, TF2 and MW2 look amazing; however, as soon as I throw a console at it, for example a PS3 plugged in via HDMI set to output @ 1080p, I...

    what are good/popular multi-player FPSs?

    Being a 1.6 player like yourself, I would have to say the following: TF2, BF2, DOD:S, COD4. CS:S ain't bad, but it definitely is not at the same level of 1.6. I would rank the games I listed over CS:S any day.

    GTA IV: First Impressions (no spoilers)

    I don't know whether it's my TV (Toshiba 32hl67 LCD) but the game looks pretty bad. The intro cutscene looked pretty good but as soon as I went outside and looked down the street, it's just a blurry mess. Any object that is more than 50 feet away will have blurry textures. I'm playing the 360...

    Good file deletion software?

    If you want to completely wipe it, Dban works great: http://dban.sourceforge.net/ However, if you want a gui based application that will only delete specific files within Windows, CCleaner has the ability to do that. http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner/ (Just open CCleaner, then go to...

    xbox 360 - not as I remembered

    As long as you have the reslution set to 720p in the system settings, you are good to go. There is no external switch for HDMI connections; the component connection does though.

    Vista and In-Game Refresh Rates

    Actually a refresh rate of 75hz improves mouse movement speed. Playing at 60hz feels choppy.

    Vista and In-Game Refresh Rates

    Well I used to have Vista on my comp, sometime during the month of March; however, once I found out that 75hz ( I have an LCD monitor) wouldn't work in game for Counter strike 1.6, I decided to go back to XP. Could anyone test if 75hz works in game for cs 1.6 and source based games, especially...

    Vista32 or XP

    Vista still has problems forcing a specified refresh rate in games, sorry but 60 hz is garbage (for gaming). Just get xp and use an msstyle patcher and make it look like vista or use windowblinds 6.

    Is Halo 3 too jaggy? Need feedback

    Relax Mr. Baddy (spaceman spiff), I didn't say anything about H3 not being worth playing. I just wanted to point out that the thread on the xbox forum deals will all games having this issue and how the Spring Update "turned off" anti aliasing on the 360. I just saw a video of Portal/TF2...

    Is Halo 3 too jaggy? Need feedback

    I bought a H3 Special Edition 360 on September 26, 2007, with Halo 3. I have a Toshiba Regza 32hl67. It is connected to the 360 via HDMI. I tried every resolution, 720p, 1080i, 1080p, it's a jagged mess. When I move forward, it ends up turning into a blurry jagged picture. It was an ugly...

    Westinghouse LTV-32w1 and PS3 1.8 firmware

    Since the 1.8 firmware update, seems like 720p is broken for me. I have a Westinghouse LTV-32w1 (the 2005 model). I updated the firmware this morning. Everything went smooth until I opened up Ninja Gaiden. The screen started to flicker, and the picture came up, but the picture was stretched...

    I take back anything bad I ever said about PS3

    I have all three consoles. My Xbox 360 red ringed of death me last week, and I do not have a warranty; so technically I have two consoles at the moment. I bought the Wii, and I wish I never did. In my opinion it's the worst console I have ever purchased. The PS3 is absolutely amazing. I...

    odd lag in cs 1.6

    I have a 19" monitor, 320mb or 640mn GTS?

    I would also have to say the 320mb 8800gts is good enough for that resolution. However, with all the new DX10 games coming out, video memory usage numbers could change dramatically. Getting a 640mb gts would be a smart move (and a safe one too).
