Does ATI have better image control than nVidia?

I'm using the Dell 2005FPW display. The thing is overly bright, and I have the brightness control scaled down to 20% from the factory setting of 100%. I'm using DVI. All other adjustments such as brightness, gamma, contrast etc are being made through the video card display controls. With...

Driver question -- Replacing my ATI 9800Pro with EVGA 7800 GS CO Superclock tonight.

So I'm swapping out an older ATI Radeon card to a newer nVidia Geforce card tonight. Hoping space won't be an issue and am looking forward to Quake 4 taking a big jump in visual quality. Currently playing on a Dell 2005FPW (which I just RMA'd and got a good one without any dead pixels and...

Upgraqding AGP card for Quake 4

yeah. *heh* I got my 20.1" LCD two weeks ago. I was at the end of Serious Sam 2, basically only had 3 levels left, but WOW did it look amazing on this thing. But SS2 let me have a bunch of eye candy on, whereas Quake 4 defaults to the lowest settings. And, turns out I like Q4 a lot more...

Upgraqding AGP card for Quake 4

I see that NewEgg has the eVGA 7800GS CO on sale for $269 after rebate. I know this is way over what i psoted as a budget, but I'm thinking it owuld buy me up to another year in decent performance on the newer games. I have a 431W Enermax PS, hoping that will be enough. Is this card a single...

Upgraqding AGP card for Quake 4

yep, looking for AGP... It'll be a temp fix card, I'll end up tossing it when I upgrade later this year, when the physX card situation gets clearer..

Do I like my 2005FPW?

V-sync, eh? I don't know if my 9800Pro video card supports that, I'll have to check.

Do I like my 2005FPW?

How much did you pay for the 2405? One major plus in my opinion is that I got a TON of display for the price. I paid something like $600 for my 17" CRT 6 (or was it 7?) years ago, and that was a good deal at the time. Getting this 20" flat panel LCD for $400 is real value for me, I'm really...

Do I like my 2005FPW?

It's the ATI 9800Pro AIW, I think it's at the bottom of the rung as far as compatable video cards. I think adjusting down the brightness level (this thing was *ultra* bright to the point of discomfort after a few minutes) has somewhat dulled the impact of the colors. There just isn't much...

Do I like my 2005FPW?

I know it's an issue, that was my biggest concern. My display doesn't have any dead pixels though, and i'd be afraid to RMA and get one that does. And, will I get a monitor with even worse backlight leakage? I don't know how to measure it, what's considered bad and what's considered...

Do I like my 2005FPW?

Help me make up my mind... I just unpacked my Dell 2005FPW a few days ago, and I have about another week before the return policy expires. So do I keep it? I upgraded from a Nokia 447i 17" CRT. I'm currently using an ATI 9800Pro AIW, but plan to upgrade the video card soon. Here's what...

$700 budget, what video would you get?

yeah, thanks for the ideas but I'm a wuss. I haven't had much luck overclocking and truthfully prefer to not do so. I want a stable system that is as low maintenance as possible. So, everything is stock other than a tweak here and there for efficiency as needed. Let's say assuming a $1000...

$700 budget, what video would you get?

OK OK I get it! hah!! Yeah, I recall this topic from my last try at deciding on a system upgrade about five months ago (then the holidays got in the way), I really like the idea of the dual 7900GTs in sli. So, if I did go with this set-up, what monitor/LCD would yopu folks recommend to take...
