As opposed to a vga connection with a dvi adapter on the end of it?

Im trying to figure out this monitor issue im having still, where on some screens it looks like horizontal, wavey, fluttering or static interference, or electronic interference...as if some connection just isnt right. And im wondering if using those adapters can cause certain minor issues like that.

Im thinking a straight hdmi or dvi connection may fix it, what do some of you think? The things i see are only visible on some screens, but its just annoying...a rolling fluttering kind of puling lines going horizontally.

[QUOTE="paraskhos_basic"]he does not have an sli edge has a gtx 295 as he told in this topicopamando
You do realize that the GTX295 is a dual "sandwiched" card, right? And IMO, worse than regular SLI. I was just saying I found it funny that someone who thought SLI was silly, would own what is basically SLI on a single card.

Your thinking too hard about it...its a brand new build, im not gonna go out and buy something crappy for it. Its the best single card out there regardless of its guts. But my whole point is that the concept of numerous cards overall is stupid, doesnt mean i wont buy a card that is 2 cards slapped together being thats where the tech is heading....it is what it is, but i find 2 and 3 cards together just a stupid concept, thats all.

I was just saying that to me, the 295 is just killer....but when people talk about buying 2 and 3 video cards for better performance, i just figure why bother...just own one that is seriously powerful.

I personally think 2 and 3 vid cards is just silly, the concept that is....its like either a card can run something or it cant, just make a powerful card and charge for it instead of slapping together a video card sandwich.

I mean when does that end ya know, will we see mother boards with 15 slots and then its like "run 15 video cards, woo!".


I just personally think like i said running multiple cards is weird for the most part, i prefer just strong, powerful single cards that can get the job done.

[QUOTE="paraskhos_basic"]but i wnana ask some of the experts here that using gtx 295 at 1680 resolution isnt it a kind of an overkill iam asking coz some guys on the forums suggested to me that at this res 295 is really not worth it shines at 1920 and is really a beast at 2560x1680 res(i could be wrong but can any1 tell me this also i get 60+ fps in every game i play except crysis(i dont even play it now) should i go in for an upgrade?

And t hese are the same guys that squeeze blood out of their CPUs by OCing ya know, when its like to me an overkill to try and just make your machine do more than what its built to do. But then theyd say that the gtx 295 is overkill....i think thats just a i cant afford it so im gonna find a reason to down it, situation to be honest for many. The 295 sure can shine more on a better monitor, but so could a mustang or a porche on a track to race, know what i mean? Its all about what you want, if you want a rock solid card that wil lgive you everything you want now and will give you everything you want when you decide to upgrade monitors or what nto, its a great purchase. Its not like it under performs if you dont have the right monitor, but like that high powered sports car you cant throttle all the way...its just fun owning or knowing you have it. If you dont game much, then yes a 295 would be overkill....but if you game and want pretty much the best, its a great great purchase.

edge at wat resolution u play?paraskhos_basic
Currently im playing 1680x1050 on a 22" Acer. I max every game pretty much and i simply dont know how things could look or run anybetter ya know, kind of like fast and smooth is fast and smooth and it either is or isnt, and the card is just awesome. Im also running an i7, gigabyte extreme mobo and 6gb of 1600. But i do plan to upgrade my monitor to at least a 1900x1200 or maybe, if the price is right, higher...but im gunning for a 1900x1200 monitor next here.

Have you tried toggling Vsync on and off to see if it would help? I know that with Vsync on, it would kill your framerate if your system's strong enough to render faster. But it's the only fool-proof way to get rid of tearing, short of investing in a better monitor.codezer0
Ill try it with vsync off...and if its a new monitor needed thats no biggie, im just trying to figure out if the monitor just isnt up to par with the machine i got. Its got a funky 1650x1050 res too which i dont know, just wasnt my preferred choice but i didnt think id build such amonster computer when i bought it...so i think im gonna upgrade the monitor soon anyways. But ill give it a try without vsync.
