Widescreen problem!

If your using a nVidia card with recent drivers, you can add a custom resolution to get a pillar box effect with Graphics Card Scaling turned on.

If you are using 1440x900 the following settings "should" work (they do for me) if you have Adapter Scaling enabled in the nVidia control panel ...

19' LCD WS Monitor vs Games

If what you say is true, does it mean almost every game can be played at a 1440x900 resolution without the images being stretched?

EDIT: Also, 1280x1024 brings a better performance than 1440x900? or am I wrong?

Should be about the same, the difference is quite small, in favour ...

Command & Conquer: Renegade - Detailed Report

The game is at best average in single player. Multiplayer is where the money is, the command and conquer mode is just superb, with two enemy bases (NOD vs GDI) fighting to destroy each other, vehicles, infantry etc. Great online game. (I play it since 2002 online, so, yeah..)

Command & Conquer: Renegade - Detailed Report

1920x1200 is also supported.
Play this game almost every day, I am now used to the extra weight. Would be nice to have some proper WS support, but a bit late now I guess.

Sound Card

Depends on the sound cards involved, both onboard and seperate.

If you are just playing games and watching movies, then definitely it doesn't matter much if at all. Make sure the onboard solution is a "high definition" one (at least for Realtek solutions) with 7 channels support and you get a ...

why people get insane headshots in TF2?

Interesting. To me it (video since I don't have the game) looks like with lag compensation ON then the games makes it so that you need to aim ahead of the moving enemy since the game takes into consideration lag in game. And when you turn it OFF then it only counts shots at the model. The problem ...

9800Gx2, GTX 280, or GTX 260?

I don't think you can play Crysis at 1080p at highest settings at anything close to playable with any of those cards. At least that is what I think.

If you plan to keep the card for more than a year, you might want to consider an ATI/AMD card, they are fast enough, but more importantly they ...

DIABLO THREE!

Calling Diablo 1,2 an RPG is like calling Flying Shark a flight simulator.

Or Donkey Kong, an interactive documentary on the life of the big ape in Africa.

I never liked the Diablo series. In fact I heaviled dislike it. Not because of what it is (which is great), but for what it claims to be. For all the millions of gamers calling this game an RPG, you can't imagine how much it pisses me off.

Do yourselves a favor: Never buy Samsung monitors

Horrible experience!

I have a Samsung monitor, 19" that I bought in 2005, but I stopped using it about a year ago when it's stand broke and decided to buy a new monitor instead of buying a new stand (I used to have some money then). The monitor was fine and never had any problems so that I call ...

Psi-Ops (PC) No WS?

Please care for the context of things, the fov part has nothing to do, I simply mentionned it in a possible explanation for why I'm crashing. In other words, read all the words, don't just look at them.
