    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157269 The Asrock Extreme7 Z68 board just came out today, and it has the NF200 chip so it will do full 16x16 for your two cards. I'm going to be running two modded HD6950s in mine. The slot spacing is great, two spaces between each...

    Is anyone else visiting Newegg multiple times a day watching for this thing to show up? I feel like I'm addicted to the anticipation. I know I'm anxiously awaiting it so I can finish building my BF3 rig :)

    Z68 boards at MC!

    My MC in Denver has them, and they're still in stock as of a couple days ago when I got my deal on my HAF X case.

    CrossfireX Mobo

    There's really not very many pics out there of p67 boards with two cards in crossfire, so it's difficult to visualize what it would look like. it looks like on the Asus and Gigabyte boards that there are two pci slots in between the 16x slots. That being said, if you put two 6950s in...

    ViewSonic FuHzion VX2265WM - Get one!

    I'm a little annoyed with ViewSonic at this point. I called them today to let them know my new monitor had a dead pixel and the same brightness issue, and they notified me that their policy is to not replace a display unless it has 4 stuck pixels or 3 dead pixels. The article I found was...

    Ugh, my new exchanged monitor has a stuck pixel...looks like it's going back to ViewSonic anyway :rolleyes: At least in buying the ViewSonic monitor, they have a 30 day zero dead pixel policy, so not only should they be able to shed some light on the brightness issue, but they should...

    Exchanged mine today for a replacement, it's also got the issue present, as I expected it would. Now I need to call and chat with ViewSonic some more to see what they suggest.

    I'm going to go exchange mine tonight for a new one to see if that resolves the issue, but I'm not convinced it will.

    Well, I can only speak to the tests that I have done myself with the flash based lag test that most people rely on. While some people much smarter than I say that this test is inherently flawed, I had pretty good luck with it. Out of the 30 times I tested, I had 27 tests of 0ms, and 3 tests of...

    Well, it's two to four weeks, so it wouldn't be four months. And, I thought about that, but the Sammie apparently has ~10ms input lag average, up to 20ms lag, which starts to defeat the purpose of having an LCD as a viable replacement for the high refresh rates of the CRT as a gaming monitor.

    Well, in thinking a little bit more about the issue, I think I'm going to do the following. Note, this is possibly even a better option as it will include some good steps to troubleshoot the overall issue. I'm going to exchange it for another vx2265wm. There was another person in this...

    ViewSonic FuHzion VX2265WM - Get one!

    So, now I'm wondering what to do. I've had this monitor for 18 days. I bought it at a local retailer that has a no questions return policy. When talking to Viewsonic, they said that once I send in the unit, it should take between two to four weeks to get it back to me. That will put me...

    Hi there, I'm on the phone with them now after trying the memory recall and power cycle. Unfortunately, those were unsuccessful. The rep that I'm speaking with currently is a guy named Jason. I asked him about the issue, and if he had other reports of it happening, and he said that this was...

    Hey there, I wanted to provide an update after talking to Viewsonic and escalating the backlight issue. Just to recap for those unaware, when the unit is in 120hz mode, the brightness buttons no longer function. Owners of this panel must beware that unless you force the refresh...

    120hz vs 60hz

    I would say that it's noteworthy that the vx2265wm's issue with the backlight is solvable with turning down the brightness of the monitor in the ATI or NVIDIA control panel. Not really a big issue at all once you get it where you want it in there. It's amazing to have an LCD that has the...

    The 2209WA is an IPS panel, so it should be of better quality than the TN panel in the vx2265wm, and I read a review where someone stated that it was close to 0ms input lag (Digital Versus says ~9MS average,) but bottom line it's still a 60hz panel, so comparing it to this model is an apples to...

    Sorry man, meant to quote BM00 instead about this part of his post concerning vsync: "I like playing Crysis and newer games with vsync locked - no one is going to play Crysis on very high with 120fps vsync locked - so having to set the LCD manually to 60hz just for this is another big issue...

    I'm surprised, Crysis actually looked pretty good for the 20 minutes or so that I played it. I think it even played a little better when I turned on vsync, even though it may be the placebo effect. In either case, the mouse movements were spot on. You have to remember that turning on vsync...

    No problem at all! Like you, I want more people to be aware of the advantages and drawbacks of these monitors, as there isn't a whole lot out there. It's funny, a friend of mine (who is a casual gamer) gave me a hard time about my purchase, stating that it was a gimmicky way to spend $165...

    Hi, I just got my vx2265wm yesterday also, and have put in some hours on it. Being a hardcore CRT gamer for the last 10+ years, this thing had a lot to prove. I must say that while it does have some backlight bleed, it's nothing that's too bad, I don't mind it. I also have the issue of...
