No, all settings are on ‘Gamer (High)’, with no AA on E8400 & GTX260 and I got a solid 40-50 FPS all the way, never dropped below 35.
Dunno, I’m going to buy that next.
When I get my second my second GTX260 I’ll post here how it goes in Crysis, but I’m not expecting anything huge.
Aren’t you using a 19 inch monitor?
at 1440*900 a single GTX 260 should run pretty decent at max res, settings on high with 4xaa enabled (beyond 4xaa I can’t really see much improvement).
the second GTX 260 would be a bit of overkill.
Yeah still only a small monitor, tbh I still don’t know whether to get another 260 or buy some super awesome, super huge screen.
I’d buy the monitor.
SLi is still a pain.
Plus later you just just get a new card for a decent price that will do better than those two GTX 260s in sli.
At the moment there isn’t much a GTX 260 can’t do at the native res most 24 inch monitors run (1920*1200). Both my 4870, and GTX 260 run crysis at native res at high…
Yeah, I was going to get a Samsung Syncmaster of some sort. 2ms response time, 10000:1 contrast ration, not to mention a decent screen that has a reduced amount of glare.
Tbh though, big or small screens don’t bother me, 10 minutes into a game and I don’t even notice anything outside the screen.
21+" monitors are pretty cheap these days, shame this “full HD” crap is taking over though. I want 16:10 ratios back :meh:
I bet you’d notice going from a 19inch to a 24inch.
That’s a hell of a gain.
I wouldn’t worry too much about the response times and contrast ratios on most large LCD panels. Generally the cheaper ones are all going to be TN panels. response time and contrast ratios are never an issue with TN panels. It comes down to viewing angles, and color reproduction issues.
I would focus more on the quality of the panel itself.
When buying one make sure it has good reliability ratings.
If you want to get a real superior large screen LCD look for one with a VA, or IPS panel.
Costs a bunch more but viewing angle and color reproduction is far superior.
Response time is quite important to me for CSS and TF2 and other online games.
But I was just on the Samsung site and have already decided im going to get a P2350 when I get the cash.
Yeah, but those response time numbers don’t mean anything.
Input lag on the display is what you’ll notice while gaming, and those figures are harder to get a hold of.
response times below 7ms will be imperceptible while playing a game, but input lag will be a much greater annoyance.
We shall have to play Ye Olde Crysis Wars sometime.
Novatech 24" Widescreen LCD Gaming Grade Monitor - Black
16:10 Widescreen, 1920x1080 Resolution , 2MS Response Time, 40,000:1 Contrast Ratio, DVI-D and VGA Inputs, 3yr On-site Warranty.
That costs £169. In dollers thats: $274.83
Good price or not?
Yeah sounds decent.
You can get a 24" widescreen for around $200, but probably won’t have the same contrast and response time, as well as maybe the warranty.
Those specs don’t make sense.
1920x1080 is 16:9, not 16:10.
Is it 16:9, or is it 1920x1200?
I think I am going to buy a new Chevy Camaro in the next year or so. I just wish the new models had T-tops like the old models did. That is one of the things I love most about my Pontiac Firebird, and the Nissan Pulsar that I owned before it.
You know with a plasma torch and some creativity…
Or with a jigsaw à la Bam Margera.
I would love to!
But unfortunately it is illegal to modify your car like that in New Jersey. And I don’t know how to hide an extra couple holes in the roof from state inspection…
