Many modern games take advantage of widescreen, future games are going to have to have widescreen support in order to be a certified "Games for Windows" game. NWN2 is CPU bound, I saw no difference in performance going from a 7800 to an 8800, however putting the conroe in gave the game a real boost.

pr0n!

mkreku's right, conroe or bust.

Back to Kotor!

LOL yeah, my raptor is exposed for viewing, so I get the worst of the noise, which is why I use these

I was referring to desktop LCDs. As for color issues, my widescreen LCD was pretty pale, but many modern video cards provide options for color compensation, such as contrast and digital vibrance (nvidia setting, ati has similar setting called "radiance"). Setting digital vibrance to medium and pulling contrast to 110% got me satisfactory color. The only problem is the lack of true blacks, which kinda sucks when trying to play games in the dark. But it should be resolved with the next LCD generation.

Well for that, you can flip the screen sideways for an uber portrait view, I don't know how many widescreen LCDs support it, but my Dell one does

Umm, which work software? Programs like Word and Excel benefit from the extra real-estate.

No spamming the pix thread, monkeyz.

But they will be worth it since you won't need vsync.

That was a strange problem.

Sweet, my next LCD will be 120Hz, that should eliminate ghosting

large, empty spaces

Why don't you lower the resolution instead? Your other option is to go widescreen LCD, which is the future man.

Far Cry 1.5 FTW

I like how this game makes Oblivion look fugly.

Yes, iTunes may suxxor but it's convenient.

Yeah that's what JE meant when he said voluntary.

Hairy women are teh nasty!

Yea I mean the BioKids have loads of problems with dual cores, which is weird.

Man, Kotor runs lightning fast and on both cores flawlessly, I didn't have to do anything like other dual-core users said. Why is that?

You're right, time to toss this crapz0r computer. I hope that it's not too obsolete to sell.

Man I coulda sworn I saw the game drop to 15 fps in some areas, not good!

Go with the Raptor!

Bot!
