Thanks mfenn. Although i really liked the looks of the MX239, it's too expensive. I found another really good deal on a different one: Asus VS248H-P 24" for $185. This normally goes for $210+. What do you guys think?

Really liking this monitor: Asus MX239H. ...But this ones a lot cheaper: Acer H6 Series H236HLbid Black 23" 5ms What do you guys think?

No worries........actually ToastyX just confirmed that he'll release the utility next week for AMD users as well so I'm sticking with this 7970. U know what else? I'm typing this from my new computer and its FKIN AMAZING! I was getting 500 fps minimums and 800-1000 fps average on a game i...

I've got the ASUS VG248QE which does support it.

I wonder how many teamkills you would rack up in a FPS match.

I have received everything except the SSD, case and RAM. They said the order should ship out today (had to back order the SSD :/) Anyway..... I've been reading a up on the advantages that nvidia has over AMD due to Lightboost technology and zero motion blur and I'm really inclined to return...

Hello Mark, I recently purchased a XFX 7970 card and a VG240QE for my new PC. I still haven't put everything together as I'm waiting for some parts to arrive. I was wondering if there is any hope for me to experience this lightboost goodness? Do I have no option other than exchanging the...
