So it will use the Nvidia HD driver?

Problem still is, I'm not getting good sound at all from this thing and I would of thought with at least this cheapie card I would... :(

I have a Gigabyte GeForce 8400GS which uses a spdif plug that I connect to my motherboard and my box has onboard Realtek HD audio.

I'm a bit new trying to understand HDMI, never really used it till now. I guess there are some cards that don't have a spdif plug that you need to connect to the ...

Yeah, I'm going to put Win7 on this...

Actually I'm going to start more at the bottom with graphics and see how that goes, either a GT 240 or 430 or possibly something in the ATI Radeon HD 5000 series...

Someone mentioned this to me;

FYI The size of the TV doesn't matter. 1080P is ...

I decided to go with the 570HD with the FULL-HDMI;

THANKS

The thing is, this is a box for someone else that I'm doing this for and I forgot to mention this is on XP too...

An excellent tweak guide.

This is the site I meant when I said I'm looking at tweaks online... :)

Ok, I've been looking at the tweaks online, I take it I need "quotes" like this around the number?

What the dev team was fired?

What all of them?

I have a Satellite L305-S5946 that uses onboard Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD.

I can play Halflife2 high detail but objects in the distance have a hazy/washed out look and I'm wondering if there is anything I can do about it.

In the screenshot below you'll see Alyx Vance is ...

I was looking at a HP laptop that has a 1GB ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650 in it and I've always been an Nvidia user, never followed the ATI scene much, so I was wondering at what level of performance/quality is the 1GB ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650 at?

Would this be like the Nvidia 9600, or 9800 ...

So it doesn'ty sound like it's an easy solution that works 100% all the time?

THANKS

With Vista, can you get any game you install to show information in the 'Games' folder?

In the screenshot below I clicked a game which now shows gaming information on the right side pane, that info is what I'm talking about if I can get HalfLife2 to show something as well in that pane ...

Thanks... :)

I haven't been on WSGF in awhile and I logged in today and noticed PM not sent from last year... :(

What's wrong PM are disabled?

No solution yet?

If not then what's the next best resolution to use for a NEC 20WMGX2 with this game, since the native resolution on the LCD is 1680x1050.

THANKS

P.S. Sorry for a double post, I found info here:

Some guy was talking on the Evga forums saying he was getting 180FPS with WOW.

I thought there was no such thing as a rate like this, and really all you can actually do is like 60-80, and also anything above a certain frame rate can't be seen by the naked eye.

So?

ALOHA

For me FEAR seems to run pretty good at this resolution, and when I ran SLI with 7900GT KO Superclocks everything seemed good.

But I had some issues with the 7900s and Evga upgraded me to 7950 GT KO 512MB cards, now when I play with these I see some screen tearing at this resolution.

I can ...

Ok multi screens, ok ok I got it. ;)

Sure who hasn't heard of multi screen for working, gaming, etc..

Not sure I heard the term surround for it though, other then surround sound.

Ahh I'm happy with just one wide screen, I don't like the multi look having to deal the monitor edges that ...
