Thanks for all your replies, I think I'm going with the Samsung after all. I will keep you guys updated on how that goes, and I'll give it a review.

The Viewsonic I linked above has this: Viewing Angle 176°(H) / 176°(V) Display Colors 16.7 Million Am I better off with the viewsonic than the samsung since the viewsonic is not TN?

Ok, so im about to upgrade from my Samsung SyncMaster 915N 19" LCD 8ms 1280x1024 screen to a Widescreen LCD, and it has come down to these two models. It is no secret that Samsung are leaders in LCD technology and displays in general, but the Sceptre model seems to have better specs as shown...

Yep, your going to need more than 512mb of ram! Even at 1 gig it studders after you join a server. I recently upgraded to 2gigs (system specs in sig) and it was like night and day. Its smooth with everything on high, 2xAA , texture filtering: ULTRA HIGH The CPU is fine the videocard would...

Well I just downloaded the Cat 5.13s with CCC and it runs great so far. I ran Half-life 2, Doom3, Quake4, Farcry, Call of Duty 2 and Battlefield 2 and they all run smoothly with no problems can't really tell that much of a performance increase from the 5.12s though i did run CS benchmark and...

Hmm i wonder why I get a steady 34fps with 2xAA, 4xAF @ 1280x1024, Full HDR....and you get 40-60fps at 4xAA, 8xAF @ the same resolution.....and I have a better system overall than you.....the videocards could be arguable but even my clocks are higher...i don't understand why I have to set my...

Oh, well I mean I have a pretty decent system don't you think? Also I can't stand having Vsync off I can't stand the choppyness effect. So I leave Vsync ON and get max 75fps which is absolutely great in my opinion I really can't tell the difference above 75fps I tryed turning off vsync and get...

Are you pandora's box? He has a simlar system as me except my cpu is faster, I wanted to know exactly how many fps he was getting. net_graph 3 in console to check.

Hey pandora's box exactly what do you mean by "smooth"? How many FPS do you get on those settings? All I know is I get 38fps max with 2xAA, 4xAF, Full HDR @ 1280x1024/32 I have very minimal system resourcing running in the backround when im gaming I even turn off ZoneAlarm...and only have...

how can i find out what motherboard i have? so i can get the latest drivers? the 5200 works fine but the 9600pro just won't work

in safemode all is good ....i tryed installing the drivers in safemode but doesn't let me for some reason....what is also interesting is that i don't get any BEEP errors when i boot up...just the normal BEEP ....i get to the desktop but after like 5 seconds monitor goes into sleep mode.

does the agp aperature size matter the card is a 256mb but in the bios the agp aperature size is set to 128mb.....i just put in the 5200 and the problem STOPPED no longer does the monitor go into sleep mode ...i haven't loaded neither of the drivers yet....what is up with this? i know the card...

yes both cards are AGP and both monitors where 17" sometimes when i reboot i get NO SIGNAL from the monitor

Well i actually tryed 2 different monitors and they both act the same way. I thought that the formatting of the hardrive and fresh install of xp would fix this weird issue but it didn't. The 9600pro is 8xAGP but the highest version of AGP that the motherboard supports is 4x AGP but isn't it...

Ok i upgraded my 2nd pc's videocard from a 5200 to a 9600pro so i decided i should just reformat the hardrive and do a fresh install of xp. Well for some reason with niether the 5200 nor the 9600pro i can't go into windows desktop without the monitor turning turning OFF the green led turns to...

Solution : BUY THE DANM GAME!

Wow 4 pages later you guys are STILL talking about the POS CCC ......you don't need to download it! Now maybe we can talk about performance and benchmarks with the new 4.12s?!?! I noticed 4-5 fps increase in half-life 2 but i get a jittery effect only on water...so im going back to 4.11s the...

1152 by 864 << highest res i can get from my 17" CRT

It runs like butter on my system with HIGH quality 4xaa and 8xaf doesn't drop below 40fps ever!

My system in my sig. In half-life 2 I get a flickering/studdering effect only on water when i use the 4.12cats it happend when i used the 4.12betas also. I switch back to 4.11cats and the problem goes away. I haven't overclocked anything niether the cpu nor the videocard. I ran the CS stress...

i bought a true x800 xt for $450 and overclocked it to PE speeds :D

I agree!

Yep thats where i bought the 9600pro for $110 at newegg refurbished

Whats the nvidia equivalent to a 9600PRO? a FX5800?

Its impossible to find a 6600gt that is AGP! also $110 doesn't compare to $220+

Soo you think he will notice a big performance boost going from a fx5200 to a 9600Pro in HL2?

System specs are in my sig.... Everything set to QUALITY in the ati control panel In game video settings all cranked to HIGH 4xAA and 8xAF Vertical Sync enabled (75Hz refresh rate) 1152x864/32 resolution on my 17" CRT (highest res it supports) 4.11 Cats I noticed if you turned OFF...

I was just wondering what is the ati equivalent of a GF FX5200? a radeon 9000pro? Im thinking of upgrading my friends videocard from a fx5200 to a radeon 9600pro for half-life 2. The card only cost $110 which was a great deal for a 9600pro.

6600gt AGP under $200? Link.... :rolleyes:

I can't find any 6600 series cards that are AGP and under $200 can someone please link me up?

When you say "buy a used" do you mean EBAY?
