60 fps is not enough for one (of the major) simple reason(s). Many people run their monitor at 85 or 100 Hz and with only 60 fps that would make vsync an impossibility without triple buffering. Besides, I personally see a difference between 60 "vsynced" fps and 85 "vsynced" fps, not only in...

on the other hand if you are like some people (including me), "the money is not an issue" type of guy then it certainly won't hurt to have 512 MB I was hoping for a 512 MB board this winter a new patch for Doom 3 and a 512 MB gfx and I'm ready to play it through once more at 1600x1200...

the 512 MB cards seem to be late from both ATi and nVidia both parties first insinuated that there would be 512MB boards late this summer then later on they seemed to change their mind and when I asked them both a little more than a month ago they basically told me that the boards were on...

I can surely understand them. Some of these previews are painfully stressfull. (Especially for the smaller guys who get stuff late in rotation and can't keep stuff for very long etc.) But in any case, I think thg seems to take these previews too seriously. Personally I'd never recommend a...

If you can do them as much in depth as the graphics cards review then sure. If it's just going to be the standard stuff then leave it to the myriads of sites that already do this on "a daily basis" so to speak.

Which in turn doesn't hold a candle to my 2x Raptor RAID0 config. ;) Only the 37 GB version though. :/ Although, personally I don't really feel any difference with RAID0 on modern disks. On next OS reinstall I'm gonna skip RAID0 and just use the two disks for OSes seperately (XP32 on one...

Just tried Nokias monitor tester. Tried both 1920x1440 and 2048x1536. At 1920x1440 every single test looks perfectly fine. In 2048x1536 every test looks fine except moire. On the other hand I don't see any moire anywhere except with that extreme pattern. This is of course ghosting aside...

tried fiddling with that as well, doesn't change the ghosting at all

Actually it was fairly cheap, 15 bucks including taxes and shipping. (And yeah it's the exact same cable I checked the pictures, the name and the actual item no at the reseller before I ordered it. :) )

Just ordered those belkin cables to see if it helps without the ferrit cores.

The OSD is perfectly sharp at 2048x1536. I'll try the nokia monitor test later on, thanks for the tips!

Many of the newer high end 22" CRTs don't seem to have BNC, dunno why. I still imagine that the DVI has something to do with this all so I'm going to try a X800 XT to see if the VGA output is better suited.

BTW are you also using a 6800? Input from other dual DVI 6800 users with standard CRT monitors at res above 1600x1200 would be very much appriciated. If I can't solve my problems I might as well try to trade this board for a X800 XT PE. Or perhaps I'll wait for a X800 XT PE 512 MB.

I don't have BNC input though so that's a no go.
