    Problem running Doom 3 - 640x480 and 30fps???

    Here are my specs: Athlon 64 3000+ 1 GB of Corsair PC3200 RAM PNY Geforce 6800 I tried running it at 1280x1024 on high quality with NO AA or AF and I've been getting framerate issues. It would be at 60 if I stare at a wall or go through a tight hallway, 30-40 when walking around fairly...

    Viewsonic VP171B now available in 8ms model?

    It works but it's kind of buggy. The Nvidia control panel rotates the screen just as well.

    Viewsonic VP171B now available in 8ms model?

    Here's some advice for those who buy this monitor and have a stuck pixel: I originally got the monitor from Newegg and had no idea about the distinction between dead pixels and stuck pixels. Thus, my dissapointment when I turned it on for the first time to see a bright blue pixel in the...

    3D Windows?

    I recently was shown Sphere XP, a 3D desktop for XP. http://www.hamar.sk/sphere/ If you get the chance to try it out, I highly recommend it--it's pretty cool. My question though is if this is the 3D concept that MS is supposedly developing? If so, will it be integrated into Longhorn? If...

    Viewsonic VP171B now available in 8ms model?

    Ordered it through Newegg, who requires 8 or more. Not that bad right now--I can rub it away in the morning and it'll stay away for most of the day.

    Viewsonic VP171B now available in 8ms model?

    Yeah I just called them and got the same information. I guess I'll try rubbing it in different ways, leaving it alone, etc. Fantastic monitor though.

    Viewsonic VP171B now available in 8ms model?

    This damn stuck blue pixel won't stay away permanently. I rub for a while and it goes away, but comes back after a while. Anyone know how to fix it or what Viewsonic's return policy is?

    I can't get rid of this stuck pixel. When I rub it, it goes away for a while, and it's definitely gotten smaller. But it comes back and I have to keep rubbing. Any suggestions?

    Mine now flickers on and off. Rubbing it helps it to go away. It's also gotten smaller. I took a very soft sweater I have, pressed firmly on the spot, and rubbed around a bit. I'm thinking that mine will go away eventually.
