    Is my video RAM too low for the resolution?

    I'm thinking of eventually getting 2 additional 1920x1080 monitors to use Nvidia Surround (2D version). My video cards only have 1 GB of ram. Will that make 5760x1080 resolution be unplayable? I hope I don't need to upgrade since I just got my cards a month ago. Also, on the Nvidia website...

    How important is monitor response time?

    I'm considering buying an additional LCD monitor for my computer in the near future. I've noticed that monitors with a 5 ms response time (gray to gray usually) are noticeably less expensive than similar monitors with a 2 ms response time. Am I going to notice lower quality and blurring going...

    Why can't I run Crysis at max settings?

    Currently, when I play through the pre-release demo at "Very High" settings with 4x AA, I get an average FP of around 30. In order to get a playable FPS, I must set the all settings to "High" instead of the max of "Very High" (I keep 4x AA) in order to get an average of 50 fps. With my...

    i7 930 keeps BSOD. OC Help!

    Nvidia Surround tri-monitor

    Quick question: In order for me to game on three monitors, must all three of my monitors be the exact same model, or can they vary slightly as long as the supported resolutions are the same? Granted, same model might be better anyways since the height will be uniform but it's nice to know...

    Monitor refresh rate matters?

    I recently bought a 23 inch LCD screen. It supports up to 1920x1080 and the colors are great. It's refresh rate is only 60 hz however. Does that really matter? I imagine I'll be turning V-sync off for my games anyways. Will my kickass graphics setup with amazing frame rates be wasted thanks...

    Upgrading to GTX460 SLI

    I just ordered two of these cards: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814125333 and now I'm worried that my PSU might not be able to handle it. I'm building a new system from scratch, and I will be putting everything together minus the 460s tonight. In their place I will be using a...

    Are most power supplies similar?

    Assuming the printed specs are same or very similar, how do the performances of the PSUs from the various campanies differ? For example, I've seen many people recommend Corsair and Antec (and to a lesser extend Cooler Master, Seasonic, Thermaltake, Enermax, and Silverstone), but is there a...
