I think I will, I think I will.

Although, Cap, I kinda already did that by checking the resolution of my printscreen result.

Could it be possible that a 1920x1080 signal downscaled by tv hardware to 720p could look better than just straight 720p?

What I can't believe is that the HD3850/x2 939 combo handled the resolution so easily.
