Ugh... 1) Putting returned, uninspected empty boxes back on the shelves and selling them as "new" products Has it EVER occured to you that this policy will curb the chances of a customer buying a product that has missing/incomplete components? By ensuring that every single returned piece of...

My understanding (and I'm not authoritative here) is that digital is designed to be.. well.. 'crisp', but that the data is essentially all or nothing. With a CD for example, a scratch on the media will prevent certain blocks of audio or data from being read. It's all or nothing, you either...

Jumped in on it, thanks MadCow

No, you've got it all wrong.. the teacher will be excited because apparently these are great for teachers too!

The 9100 is a better card in nearly all aspects.

Just because a machine is is outputting at 1600x1200 resolution doesn't mean that text has to be small. In every OS that I've ever used, there's an option to increase the size of the text. So you can run at 1600x1200 with the text size of 1280x1024.. and you have the added benefit of an...

We're not putting our faith in HardOCP like it's gospel. They made a statement that seems to fit with other recent events surrounding the FX Ultra. You have to admit that you'll get a slightly biased answer coming from the PR department.. it is their job, afterall, to take care of these kinds...

Uhh, anyone have any links of benchmarks to actually backup their claims of 128 is faster than 64? I've yet to see any, but perhaps I'm looking in the wrong places..

I believe that ghosting has nothing to do with frames per second, correct me if I'm wrong. Thank you JohnGer, we've already heard your opinion about.. well.. 6 or 7 times now? We know you love the monitor. But I think the people who are concerned with ghosting (myself included) are looking...

Anyone in California have luck acquiring one of these? I'm trying to get one through someone on this board, but they're busy trying to make the most out of it via ebay (and of course, my offer isn't going to top the one those suckers on ebay pay.) Perhaps I'm the only one irritated by the...

Well, the first one they sent me didn't work at all, but it was a 'different' card.. heatsink was a little larger and a little heavier. I didn't get any video signal from it at all. Called their RMA department, they had another card (a brand spankin' new one in retail packaging) to me the very...

The Gainward 64mb cards had problems from the factory (or whereverr they're manufactured.) It's a common problem (just search for gainward in the Video forum). To get it fixed, call up Gainward's RMA department and ask for an RMA. Tell them about the artifacting and they'll be happy to...

No way Lore, which one?

FX feels too close to MX.. the less computer-inclined people out there are going to get even more confused.

I guess the important question that no one's asked yet (or maybe I totally missed the answer?) How fast is his system? If he's got an old celeron or PII or something.. a $150 vid card isn't going to do much good.
