Well it lags the tiniest bit at max settings (including AA and AF max) with 1280x1024.

EDIT: I guess my global AA was set as 8x...

Haha, yeah, that'll do it

Also, in the Nvidia drivers, if you set your image quality using the preview, if you select anything other than performance, it'll force AA and anisotropic filtering in every game. My friend was complaining to me the other day because he is borrowing my old 6600GT and installed new drivers and now he can't run Oblvion @ 1280. It turned out he set it to Quality (4x AA, 8x AF). LOL

In driver settings you need to turn off everything and put everything on performance, that way your windows runs faster and games choose their own settings.

p.s. t3ice my monitor doesnt have automatic width-height re-apply, all done with buttons on it.

Tee hee, my westinghouse 22" widescreen auto adjusts.......

@stereo, i am getting the ASUS versian thing of that mobo, that supports 2 x 16x pci-e. its a sweet one!

Stereo · Post by **Stereo** » 24 Dec 2006, 02:37

Mine has 2 PCI-E slots....

NFSBLUECIVIC · Post by **NFSBLUECIVIC** » 24 Dec 2006, 04:12

i mean they both support x16 speed when in sli. where on most mobos its only x16 when you have one, and its x8 when your in sli.

That's going to make little to no difference.. And I thought nForce 4 chipsets didn't support that.

NFSBLUECIVIC · Post by **NFSBLUECIVIC** » 24 Dec 2006, 18:46

they dont, the nforce 4 SLI 16X ones do.

It says X32 in SLI on the title, meaning 16x each slot even with SLI...

And I bet the ASUS board doesn't glow red underneath.

rofl, yes my asus board doesnt glow, but yes that is what i was saying, so now that we got that clear.... Myne is black! MAtches case video and ram.

You should'ave taken a core2duo processor..it would be worth the extra

Also what mobo are u using?

btw, ...Nice choice in gpx card!!

Abrams · Post by **Abrams** » 26 Dec 2006, 14:19

um yeah 3.4Ghz Pentium D is only few bucks cheaper then lowest C2D E6300 wich is way superior.

corvyz6 · Post by **corvyz6** » 26 Dec 2006, 17:51

im 60 bucks away from gettin a mobo, and that e6300
its a huge upgrade from a P4 2.6 to a e6300 imo

Abrams · Post by **Abrams** » 26 Dec 2006, 23:25

definatly.

but not as huge as 2.0Ghz Single Core to E6600 =)
