Re: I bought a 128GB SSD and 2TB HDD...which software goes where
Clem, how much RAM do you have? From what I've read Readyboost is pretty useless if you've got at least a gig or 2 of RAM.

Re: question - amd3 vs intel i5/i7
For gaming (especially at extremely high resolutions,) the video card is usually the bottleneck, not the CPU. You may want to wait another couple weeks on the vid card, as the 6900 series (5800 replacements) are supposed to come out.

Re: New Display Help/Input
One note about LED, what the industry is calling LED displays are just LED backlit LCD's. So they tend to have most of the same restrictions as traditional LCD's. LED can increase color gamut by a bit and dynamic contrast, but I don't think it affects viewing angle much.

Do you know if it only supports 3 monitors, or will work with dual?

Re: Need help with clarifying min requirements for 3D
275 should be fine, but as mentioned, if you're going to use it with a 1920x1080 monitor, performance won't be great in most newer games. I've got no idea how tough WoW is on vid cards. You may be fine.

Re: Mafia II
It just seemed like a pretty weak game all around compared to GTA4. Graphics were OK, and it plays great in S3d, but the depth of characters just wasn't there, and ya, way too short.

Re: TRON Evolution
I liked Tron 2.0, but never played it too far. Don't remember why. Probably broke my computer or something and then never got back to it when I rebuilt.
I think I remember seeing the box around, maybe I'll see if the CD is there and attempt installing it in Vista.

Re: 8650 eyefinity with DVI > HDMI > DP ?
I assume you meant 2x DVI - VGA adapters + 1 DP - VGA adapter?
First I've heard of this issue as well, (and it took a bit of googling to find any other reference.) Most DVI ports are DVI-I, which is digital + analog. Seems AMD cheaped out on the 6850's and only used a single-link DVI-D (digital ...

Re: triplehead2go with 2 monitors
Have you tried changing the resolution setting of the game (usually changed inside the game) to your th2go resolution? With my dh2go if I have the single monitor res active it only outputs to one of my projectors as well.

Re: ATI 6000 series + 3xDVI screens = 120hz?
Here's what a little thing called the search bar can do for you.
I think he may have been looking for eyefinity+HD3D (shutter glasses,) which the above thread is not. It's using anaglyph on 120Hz monitors.

Re: Ati Eyefinity & Nvidia 3d vision + physx hybrid solution?
nVidia's 3dvision doesn't support polarized screens, so you'll have to go with iz3d or tridef. I believe the iz3d monitor is capable of working multimonitor via triplehead2go. Each iz3d monitor requires two inputs, so 2 triplehead2go boxes can take two connections from one video card and split them ...

Re: ATI 6000 series + 3xDVI screens = 120hz?
It would be foolish if they didn't. That would just be one more reason to go over to nVidia. Honestly, all their technologies should play nice with each other.
I agree, but the problem is that AMD doesn't really have their own 3d solution. They rely on tridef and iz3d for the 3d part, and just ...

Re: Dual-projector 3D Vision Surround from one card?
So no negative (overlap) bezel compensation on the MV103, correct?
The MP102 is substantially more expensive isn't it?

I've yet to hear any reports that Eyefinity and HD3D will work together at this point. I'm hoping they will, as I'd like to use it with my dual projectors.

Re: HDMI via PC on TV
24FPS on 60FPS uses 3:2 pulldown. It's not bad, but some people notice judder (that sequential frames are on the screen for different amounts of time,) but it's not something that bothers me.
So yes, 24FPS content will play over a 60Hz connection. Some 120+Hz TV's can do judder-free by using 24Hz ...

Re: Beginner's question: GC Choice
I'd buy on features more than price/performance. Not sure how eyefinity stacks up against nVidia surround. Eyefinity is more flexible, but for 3 monitors either should work fine.

Re: Why do we need 120hz for watching 3d films?
As mentioned above, the strobe effect would be terrible at 48Hz. I believe single projector theaters typically use 144Hz for 3d (3x24FPS per eye.)
