Post by **shadd_** » Mon Dec 31, 2007 2:37 am

8800gt 512meg.

4x msaa, 16af all other settings maxed.

i had higher quality video playback on my ati cards. i might even go back to ati just for that reason.

8800gt is dirt cheap right now. you could probly pick one up for $220us somewhere.

I got two 206BW's which are 20". It was $100 more for the 226. I wasn't paying $100 for 2".

I paid 200 for the extra 2", got the 245.

The thing is... if you already have a 17" 4:3 monitor, a 22" widescreen is no bigger vertically, and most likely the same vertical res. So whatever you pay for a 22", you're paying for the extra 2" on the sides.

And if you went from a 17" 4:3 to a 20" widescreen, you paid for a vertical downgrade.

the 206bw is nice. this one was on sale for $260cdn

it was an x-mas present from my parents so i couldn't be too choosey.

I've had it for a couple of months, on a single 8800gt. It's splendid.

I run everything but crysis in 1920 res. Crysis I had to play in 1600

my 19" 930b is ~15" across(screen, not edges), the 226 is just shy of 19" across, and maybe a quarter inch smaller on vertical.

I'm thinking about picking up a second video card in February.

OK, THIS THREAD IS FOR 22" OR UNDER SCREENS!

wrecking my party...

Post by **AmIdYfReAk** » Mon Dec 31, 2007 6:43 am

in all hoesty, i would rather get a smaller screen like a 22" looking back at it..

it was a long struggle to get things to look nice on this thing when i was running my 6600/7600's... now with this 8800 its finally here.. but the same BS is looming over my head.. How long with this last?

enjoy it man! Those are Top screens!
