Building a PC - bundle suggestions

Everything that I have read says the frame rate of LCD's is 60 hz, or 120 hz for newer large 3D screens (60 hz per eye ball) and cannot be changed. 240 hz came out recently. Mine can do 75 Hz. I just installed the freeware version of Sys Info for Windows that Monty suggested. It shows my vid at 85 hz. (It looks like a great program, too - Thanks Monty.) I've just tried it and it is beautiful. It doesn't know my current resolution, though. It lists the vertical frequency as 56-75. -- Ed Light Better World News TV Channel: http://realnews.com Iraq Veterans Against the War and Related: http://ivaw.org http://couragetoresist.org http://antiwar.com Send spam to the FTC at Thanks, robots. |

Building a PC - bundle suggestions
I built a system around the GA 790XTA-UD4 and Phenom II 965 Black. The
Gigabyte board was a big disappointment, mostly because it takes so long to boot (Win XP). A friend also bought that board, and his also takes a long time to boot (Win XP), about a minute and a half to be specific. Then I found online references to others complaining about the slow boot of the Gigabyte. Let the buyer beware. I replaced the Gigabyte mobo with the Asrock 890FX Deluxe 4 and it was the smartest move I ever made. The Asrock is heads and shoulders above the Gigabyte, and even offers the option to boot in 7 seconds or less. I liked the Asrock so much I bought a second one and made another PC, using the AMD 6 core cpu. Fantatic board. "Phat_Jethro" wrote in message ... Thanks Ed You kind of confirmed the was I was thinking. I had my eye on the Phenom II X4 955 black as well. Mother board of GA-770T-USB3... any issues with it having a slightly older chipset? I am out of the loop on AMD chipsets so just asking.

Nor could I make profiles for different levels of sharpness and choose them by right-clicking a tray icon. Went back to ATI, and even the humble 4350 lets me do all that (it doesn't have the dynamic contrast, being a very low-end part). The ATI drivers do have strange anomalies and you have to test what settings such as brightness really do and where (in Win 7, desktop gamma affects the video). If you don't mess with brightness and get it all right at the monitor, then that's not relevant. -- Jethro[AGHL] aka Phat_Jethro Reply Email: jethro86 (at) gmail (dot) com |
