Well, i need to upgrade my video card or my monitor (not sure which is the problem).

The video card i have is an asus ati eah-top 4850 with 1gig of gddr3.

the monitor i have is an asus vk222h 22" monitor.

Mobo is Asus P5QC

CPU is Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 3.16Ghz

RAM is Supertalent 2GB DDR3 1333

HDD is Seagate ST3640323AS (640GB, 7200rpm sata-300)

Keyboard is Saitek Cyborg

Mouse is A4Tech X7

I think you need to upgrade the person that runs the computer first before updating the computer.

what a great idea. i wonder how u came to that conclusion b/c ive never thought about doing that. please explain ur process.

You should probably tell us what the problem is because both the gpu and monitor are good enough to do almost anything you would need. So unless you want to run Crysis on high in 1080p with 120hz you are fine.

Ok, well when I go into 1080p mode(1770xso
ething) it doesn't take up the whole screen, and it has terrible contrast. I can get it to take up the full screen, but it makes it look even worse.

That your monitor?


Maximum Resolution 1680 x 1050

Might be the problem.

If you like your monitor and want another one like it, but better and 1080 compatible get that one.

son of a bitch. that is my monitor. that is definitely not what newegg said when i bought it!! im 100% sure it said 20,000:1 contrast ratio, and hdcp capable (or something like that). i also thought it was supposed to be 20.1". goddamit. wtf happened


::EDIT:: plus, i dont have any attachment to this monitor, im gonna find one around $200, with the highest contrast ratio and 1920x w/e it is

1920 x 1080 is what you are looking for.

that or 1920x1200

A little more RAM won't hurt. 2GB is kinda low if you're running Vista.

yea, im definitely gonna upgrade that asap

yeah i run my shit at 1920x1200 (24" widescreen)

ya ram for sure and processor if u wanna be able to run gta4 nicely

pfffft maybe if u posted specs like these.


The video card i have is an xfx 6600gt AGP with 128mb of gddr3.

the monitor i have is an samsung syncmaster 910t 19" w/ 25ms

Mobo is jetway 939p

CPU is amd athlon64 3800+ single core

RAM is 3gigs ddr

HDD is hd 80gig

Keyboard is microsoft something

Mouse is mx518

then i might have made a suggestion...those are my horrendous specs btw

I'd go with a monitor that supports 1900x1200 over 1900x1080. Mine is an Asus MK241H with 1900x1200 HDMI 1080p and all that and it's great.

Technically the resolution is "1200P"

oh and yes I beleve the 19X12>19X10

u r correct tazz.
