[Nick[FM]]

Hey Guys!

Thought to drop you a line here as well that we just launched the 3DMark Vantage promo page here: http://www.3dmark.com/

We have 3 new screenshots from 3DMark Vantage, and will post more goodies very soon!

Yes, 3DMark Vantage is DX10 & Windows Vista only. Sure someone will ask that sooner or later. :)

Cheers,

Nick

This shall be interesting, but only if it's DX10 from the ground up.

Well it requires a fully dx10/sm4.0 compatible graphics card and windows vista, so I'm pretty sure it's gonna be dx10 all the way baby! :cool:

Vista is NOT a gaming OS, you can't even change refresh rates and get them to stay properly.

refresh rates?? you still on crt?

[BronzeGod]

no, I have a 22inch LCD that runs smoother on 75hz than laggy as hell 60hz

hz means nothing on lcd it is the screen you have some lcds are carp at ms

wot ms are you?

[LORD-eX-Bu]

-.00000000001 ms :headexplode:

[BronzeGod]

2ms and it does run smoother when i take it up to 75hz, there is a noticable difference, the ghosting and screen lag disappear. I know it sounds bizarre but its true.

[mythy]

uhhhh you do understand how a CRT display renders compared to a CRT and the part that the refresh rate plays right?

[BronzeGod]

...........I know what a CRT is and I know how high a 24 inch Trinitron tube can hit refresh rate wise blah blah blah, been there done that. I know all about CRT refresh rates.

LCDs are theoretically stuck at 60hz. My LCD only gives me the native option of 60hz. When i override it with Reforce and the nvidia custom resolution tool, the limit is 77hz, anything over that and the monitor doesn't allow or the display becomes garbled.

Now back to my point. At 60hz, my mouse cursor has noticable skipping, ghosting and lag on the desktop, when I switch to a game, it the exact same problem. FPS games look like complete horse fecal matter when my refresh is at 60hz.

Now, when I raise it to 77hz, everything moves smooth as butter, comparable to like 100hz smoothness on a CRT. There is no more skipping, lag, or ghosting, all that is gone. Why is that so hard to believe?
