Nice upgrade!! I see it's a BenQ, hows the image?

good for a TN panel.

I really wanted a PVA panel and would have paid twice as much for a decent one, but they all tend to have large amounts of input lag (what you see is later that what's actually happening (CRT monitiors dont have any input lag).

spent months looking into 24" monitors, every single one has enough flaws or one major flaw enough for me to disregard it.

so i ended up with a TN panel (fast response), with analogue, dvi and HDMI inputs, and also does 1:1 pixel mapping, so if your res or source has a different res, the screen does nto get distored/streteched :)

very few 24" has the HDMI input or 1:1 pixel mapping which were 2 things i wanted anyway.

Is the new card really much faster then the x1900xt?

I saw you went apes with your upgrade. :D

:D

with my CoD4 config (xtra loooow settings) i run a steady 100fps with the x1900xt @ 1920x1200 , with the 3780x2 it was anywhere between 250 and 450 fps :D

now i put everything on max and run a steady 125fps (max allowed with match rules iirc).

not tested with Crysis yet, but still wont be able to get a decent framerate on it with hight settings.

Nice upgrade!
