Just upgraded video card + monitor!

**sirplayalot** · 02-23-11, 04:57 PM

Hey all, I just upgraded my video card to a Radeon 6970 and purchased a 120hz monitor..and WOW what a difference! The 120hz really makes a huge difference in my games. Even just on the desktop you can feel how smooth the mouse moves around! I love it

If anyone is on the fence about upgrading their monitor to a 120hz, DO IT!

Glad you dig your new stuff.

Now could you take your huge 19-line signature and shrink it? It's gaudily braggy and takes up way too much screen real estate. It's like a big annoying ad.

Maybe do this:

Main rig
Gigabyte MA77OT-UD3p | AMD Phenom II 965 BE @ 3.4 GHz | 2x4 GB 1333MHz DDR3 | VisionTek Radeon 6970 | Onboard HD Audio | "POWER SUPPLY HERE" | Acer 23.6" GD235HZ 120hz | Win 7 Ultimate

Gateway P-7805u FX (school)
Intel® PM45 Chipset | C2D P8400 2.26 GHz | 2x2 GB DDR3 | 9800mGTS 1GB DDR3 | Onboard HD Audio | 17" WXGA+ Display

Why argue which ones better when you can just play on all of them?

Hit "quote" on my post to obtain the code for that... copy it and modify it to your liking. It's smaller, neater, way less redundant, and still properly communicates what hardware you're using.
