I might buy the 20". That or that 19" DELL.

Go with the 20", the extra resolution would be great for your e-stalking needs.

All that great hardware yet squat for games. In the end it's like a ferrari without a gas pedal.

It's not designed or built for games. It's professional workstation equipment. No one in his right mind would drop $6k+ on a G5 and one of those displays to play video games.

meh... It's a display. It's designed to display things.

Apple wouldn't hesitate to claim that their hardware is "optimized" for games - if they had any game programmers left to speak of...

That being said - these new displays kick serious ass..... :thumbsup::thumbsup:

BTW I know several people who have no problems dropping that kind of cash on gaming hardware.

2. The display can prolly do a fine job of dispaying games coorect (read: 16ms RT is fast as hell for an LCD) but I belive the limiting factor would be the vid card.

Not only would it perform atrociously slow, but if you changed the resolution to something lower, the inherit traits of an LCD would elliminate a great deal of visual quality..to put it lightly.

If you really want to game on a big LCD, there are better choices in the wings.

1920x1080 native
12ms total average response time
10-bit processing, 1024 shades of gray
800:1 contrast
450 cd/m2 brightness

I'm pretty sure a 6800U could easily push a single 30" screen in just about every game out there right now. 2 screens would never work tho, unless he had the SLI setup.

No man. Not at native rate on the 30" or even the 23" Apple displays, at any decent speed in a game. I say a constant 60fps is solid but 100fps constant is prefered but that isn't always an option in the game now a days with what we have

The resolution is just too much imo.

did you not read my post like 3 up?


and he also is the owner of www.xiety.com which brings in a cool $10,000 a month (not to mention his father has some ownership in oil across seas)

edit: to clarify about xiety.com he provides file hosting solutions to various international companies, his root domain is weak, but the backend is ridiculous

Yup I know that. Games look fine run at lower res on my 1920x1200 res.

NO card I can see in the next 2years at least won't be running a game native in that res and get 100fps! But dam that will be SWEET when it can do that. Can't wait to see what the couple of year holds for graphics and games. LETS hope we get new innovative gaming also.
