6600GT (AGP) 2D Issues..

I completely agree with you. Although I wish I could spend all of my time in front of my PC playing games, I unfortunately spend about 60% of it doing work in 2D applications. The fact that upgrading to this board makes my fast PC feel slower is really irking me. Maybe Nvidia can improve...

6600GT (AGP) 2D Issues..

I think you're probably right.. With 3D being the 'sexier' selling point, 2D performance at 16x12 is probably not a top priority for these folks. This article, http://www.anandtech.com/video...oc.aspx?i=2295&p=2, refers to overclocking and specifically asks the reader to make sure they...

Are you afraid your rig can't handle a 16 x 12 LCD for gaming?

I'll add my voice to the chorus. I was also worried about image quality running at resolutions less than 16*12 after purchasing my 2001FP. Half Life 2 looks absolutely gorgeous at 1280*1024 and I really don't notice any degredation in image quality. It does get a little cloudy at 1024*768...

6600GT (AGP) 2D Issues..

Hi all, I upgraded from an ATI 9700 Pro to a new XFX Nvidia 6600GT AGP the other day. It's a good step up from the previous board for 3d gaming, but I've noticed that my 2D speed and video quality have taken a bit of a hit. I'm running with a Dell 2001FP connected through the DVI port...

Doom Performance Took a Dive After Flat Panel

Finally all is really resolved.. Get this one - It turns out the flat panel was at fault, but not as a result of the video. Of all things, my MOUSE and its RELATION to the flat panel was the cause of the issue. I decided that since the Dell LCD has four USB ports I'd plug the mouse (a...

Doom Performance Took a Dive After Flat Panel

I think I finally figured everything out.. Wait for vsync was not enabled on the ATI driver, yet was in Doom3. After tweaking that setting, things seem to be much better now. I'm actually running it at 1600*1200 and it's playable (though perhaps not by Anandtech standards :) ). Much...

Doom Performance Took a Dive After Flat Panel

Hey Nebor, I'm not bullshitting here.. Honest to G-d, there was a substantial performance drop when I switched to this flat panel.

Already did that in Doom3. Is there another place I should look? -Lon

Doom Performance Took a Dive After Flat Panel

I'm not sure either :). I even disabled the DVI connector, reverted back to the analog VGA connector on the flat panel, and it's still chugging along at a significantly slower rate than before. I may lug over the CRT again and see if it's any different. Could I have a defective card?

No that's not it.. It's an actual slowdown, not an image quality issue.

Doom Performance Took a Dive After Flat Panel

I'm noticing that Doom 3, which ran very smooth on my CRT monitor, is running much slower now that I've switched to an LCD (a Dell 2001FP). I was able to run it at 1024*768 in the 'ultra' mode on my ATI 9700Pro without any ill effects. The game ran smooth with very little choppiness. Since I...
