    ATI Display Brightness Issue

    Thanks, but I did that one already. Still on a reboot I have to open the CCC. Just click on it then the display is correct. I have been an Nvidia user since my first machine in Windows95. ATI drivers annoyed me then and I never went back till now!

    ATI Display Brightness Issue

    I updated to the newest CCC/Drivers on Saturday. Radeon 5770 1 GB card. DVI interface. Ever since when I boot, my display is really bright. But if I click on CCC it goes back to normal. I don't have to do anything else, just open the app. Is there a setting I can change?

    HDMI on LCD Not Crisp

    OSD has Overscan or Full under Aspect Control. In between that is 4:3 but it skips over that. I do not see Overscan in CCC. I see no difference in Full or Overscan when I switch. ETA: I have not had an ATI card since 1998! Unfamiliar with how to get to the DTV portion of the CCC, now I found...

    HDMI on LCD Not Crisp

    Ati Radeon 5770 HD 1 GB on an Asus VH242H monitor. Tried HDMI cable and text is blurry. Anything I can do for that? I am using the DVD-D. Movies do look better though with the HDMI, though hate having to change cables.

    About to buy this monitor

    Finally got it plugged in (have had it since last Wednesday, gotta love overnight free delivery from NJ to LI, NY) I'm currently using an D630 laptop as a backup to my dead desktop (new custom machine on the way) but even on the laptop VGA it's a HUGE step up from my 19" Dell LCD. Now what am I...

    Is this PSU total garbage?

    you said it was cheaper quality, just quoting what you said "However, if you're looking for a cheaper quality PSU, check out the XClio 450W with dual 12V rails for only about $50!" Anyway it's not in stock and I want my desktop back ASAP. I am going to see Tuesday if I can pirate something...

    New 6600GT, System shuts off !Updated! Help Plz

    Ok, this morning system shut off while I was just reading web pages so I put the old card back in. It shut off again while playing Halo. I think the 3year old PSU was on it's way out and the new card just hastened it along. It must have a shutdown on overload feature. I'll either take a ride to...

    I did say I was AFK but dinner is a cooking :P You read right, it's on the splitter with the secondary HDD. I happen to have the manual handy as the box is laying on the floor where I left it but of course I didn't read it yet. It says use the supplied splitter or if there is an unused cable...

    New 6600GT, System shuts off !Updated! Help Plz

    Installed the Leadtek 6600 GT today and was playing HL2 ( no CD ) for awhile off and on. I decided to see how Halo looked and I played for a bit and the system shut itself off. I had split the power supply cable with the DVD drive and thought maybe that was the problem with the drive in use so I...

    I really could not get a definitive answer here but a search on the compatability topic led me to Nvidia's site which netted me my answer. http://nvidia.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/nvid...cF9jYXRzPSZwX3B2PSZwX2N2PSZwX3BhZ2U9MQ**&p_li=&p_topview=1 I hope this can help someone with a similar question.

    AGP 4 1.5V Will this card work?

    Thanks Peter, not so new, I remember when this site was brand new back in the day. I've just seen differences of opinion on this subject and wanted to avoid purchasing something that at best wouldn't work and at worst would end up blowing something up. See this link and you will see why the...

    AGP 4 1.5V Will this card work?

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814122206 Motherboard has only a AGP 4 1.5Volt slot as the topic says. I want to be positive before I order, the Leadtek site has very poor information but I know someone here will have the answer.
