hey guys, i just got a new cmputer from abspc.com, here are the specs:
to test the new card out i downloaded the new battlefield 1942 demo and set it to 1024x768.. and i was pretty disappointed in the performance. i noticed that during movement in the game i would see lines from frame to frame (maybe about 6) horizontally along the scren, as if it was rebuilding the frames ununiformly, like the card is lagging even at 1024x768. 1600x1200 is anything but impressive. i expected a lot better performance with the card, any tips on how to maximize the performance, or why it is disappointing me? im probably not making any sense, but if you have any tips (like would reducing it to 16 bit color make a difference?) thanks in advance

Turn vertical-sync on, see if those lines still appear. Make sure to set your overide refresh rate setting to the max your monitor can handle for the given resolution.

vertical sync was on, how do i determine what is the max refresh rate for each res for my particular monitor? i dont have any documentation with it, but it's a 19" kds avitron CRT.

Summary: The geforce fx 5900 with 128 mb will be fine for now. I think the only game that will benifit slightly from the 5900 ultra with 256 mb of ram will maybe be doom 3. Right now i bet you couldn't notic...
