60Hz CRT doesn't look the same as 60Hz LCD, so you don't notice a flicker. In fact, I've never seen LCDs flickering.
So looks like I have to drop the 16:10 requirement. So.. any pointers for a 120Hz 3D monitor for gaming?
I am looking for a 24" 16:10 120Hz Display(to use with Nvidia 3D, have yet to buy 3D gear).
Also, I play twitch FPSes like UT3 so want minimal input lag and I am willing to sacrifice picture quality for it. I have a 8800GTS 512 (planning to upgrade soon).
Any pointers?
The competition isn't only about creating the absolute fastest GPU, it's about cost and profitability too. Nvidia announcing the 9800 GTX+ at 2am to some reviewers before the NDA for the 4850 lifted and having to lower the prices of 260 and 280 due to the 4870 being aggressively priced showed...
Even if you're a Nvidia buyer, the RV770 helped you by lowering the prices of Nvidia products bigtime due to it's excellent price/performance ratio. ATI could have easily released the 4870 at $400 instead of $300 and still be competitive with Nvidia's offerings at that time. They did not, and...
I take it's the 320/640MB version? Because the 512MB version is about 1.1 years old. That card was outdated a really long time ago. SLI would be pretty much useless, I think even the 9800GT for $100 should be able to beat SLI'ed 8800GTS 320/640. ATI seems to have improved it's drivers but there...
Thanks to all the posters. I think I am going to buy the Sapphire 1GB version. Will I need any PCI-E power converters for my power supply http://www.newegg.com/Product/...ology++Inc.-_-17341002
Also, is PCI-E 1.1 fast enough for that card?
Which 4870 has the best cooling and preferably pre-overclocked? I don't want to install aftermarket coolers as I am not comfortable with that.
I have a 8800GTS with a EVGA 680iLT SLI motherboard with PCIe 1.1. I mostly only play UT3 right now with a 19" monitor. Planning to upgrade to a 24"...
I would say the GTS is better because of the better dual slot cooler that pushes the heat out. Summer's almost here! Though you could overclock the GT and get it's performance upto that of the stock GTS, the GTS overclocks pretty well too and you could get close to the speeds of the GTX.
I agree with Crisium. You wouldn't want to SLI two GX2's in the future anyway, because of diminishing returns on the 3rd and 4th cards. Either don't spend so much on a SLI board or make use of the SLI (at least make sure there's a sane SLI upgrade path in the future). Also, Microcenter has the...
