The rest my GFX card isn't capable of keeping up with. Buying a new GFX card doesn't fix the problem, because I'm only going to have the same issue again when I run a slightly newer game that the better card can't keep up with. > Not being a PC gamer, I'd have thought if it's a framerate problem, > throwing more graphics power at the problem would fix it The problem isn't framerate. The problem is ghosting. On a CRT, even with a low framerate this isn't an issue. I can run CounterStrike at well over 60FPS at 1024x768, but the ghosting is dramatically worse than at 1280x1024 because the TFT is stretching it. Oh well. I gave up and bought the 2009W. Which I'm now thinking was slightly stupid, as the native resolution is 1680x1050 (why do widescreen resolutions never match the height of standard aspect screens?). So now I can't even run at 1280x1024 without stretching. I'm an idiot. Never mind. I'm sure it'll be a very nice screen. Maybe the nvidia tool will fix it for me. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
