Rivatuner has it and it is the easiest way. Look in the riva program files/tools for D3D overider. Activate and it will force it. Make sure you have it enabled at the driver level.

Not really a great way to launch a business going to an enthusiast web site an telling everyone you are broke lol

There is something to be said for gaming on a huge screen even at lower res. The first time I played doom and HL2 on my 27 incher I was blown away at 1280x1024. The sheer size of the picture will suck you in and no screen shot will do it justice. I am sure it is a nice pic even @1366x768...

I am not sure which way to go on this upgrade. Would like to slap on a scythe ninja but it would change orientation of airflow on the case. My current rig has a custom hole (for 90mm fan) on the side panel for intake to heatsink (fan mounted on top of heatsink). I also have one exhaust fan on...

Price gouging more like it. $500 for my 7800GTX and 9 months later they release a $350 card that outperforms it. Hope ATI vs NV gets bloodier.

I dont think NV or ATI cares about the default driver setting as it pertains to benchmarks. Both companies are big boys and know their cards are being reviewed. Let them determine where the default settings should be. It is getting harder with each review to test on an even playing field with...

I actually had a problem with this berfore. On my first sli mobo - stuck a 7800gtx in the black slot (i didnt think it mattered) and had fair performance but was a bit sluggish in FEAR and QUAKE4. So I ran 3dmark05 and scored 2000 points below where it should have been (between 8-9000). Spent...

This is a grade school topic and can be answered by the search button. Your retinas will be damaged. You can look at an eclipse but you had better be wearing a certified welding mask.

Will do that - thanks

I managed to get my X2 4800 up to 2.6ghz however I am failing prime 95. I was wondering if bumping up the DDR volts would help stabilize. Right now it is set on auto and I am not sure what voltage auto is. I have the options of 2.6 thru to I think past 3.0. Anyone think it will help? And if...

ok Makes sense. I appreciate the feedback. Now if I can only find a 27-30" monitor that does that res with a good IQ and respose time I would be happy.

Hmm, Why is it that I "can" display 16x12 on my desktop. Am I nvidias scaling of 16x12? again the res is visible and no errors or blue screen - just cant see all of the windows desktop at once and cant run a game in that res One would think that if it was not possible my monitor would...

Noob question, but it it possible to hit a higher resolution than the monitor supports using nvidia control panel? My monitors max is 1280x1024 but I was farting around and tried an unsupported res like 16x12 and it actually worked. Problem is that only portions of windows desktop are visible (I...

I can't say what service is like because it just shipped today and I should have by Thursday next week. Just put a complete system together for $2500. Got an athlon X2 4800, 7800GTX, 2 gigs ram,160 gig hard drive, all the goodies but no monitor (have a nice one already) and a nice case to...

That is exactly what I'm hoping for - just want get gaming and leave the headaches behind
