I've just bought an Acer Aspire from Currys for £379 and i must say that it is a spiffing purchase.

3gb of memory.

250hd.

2.1 GHZ.

16.9 widescreen 15.6" screen.

I'm more than happy with it.

No, its an act of friendship where you took time out of your own schedule and helped a mucker.

It touched me.

Anytime brother, well anytime the kids arent here anyway.

Think I'm going to be sick.

has anyone ever used those specs that are screens ? weren't they sony ? supposed to be like an 80" screen right in front of your peepers.

MG, welcome to my world...I have this spiffy 23.6" Acer widescreen that I have no problems with (actually, if I could marry it, I would, it is an OUTSTANDING monitor), except the narrow GOT page.

What you want to check are the resolution and refresh rates and make sure Windows is set to display the one that is compatible with your monitor.

Check out the native res of your monitor and let us know the resolution it is supposed to be. (I would imagine 1650x1080 or 1920x1080)

 

[Goat]

Yeah ive done that. Its on 1980x1080, its got some auto thingy button that suggested a resolution.

 

[Dylan]

You running a Nvidia card?

 

[Goat]

Yeah.

 

[Dylan]

Then download the latest Forceware and that has a wicked control panel that lets you do all kinds of stuff with your card and monitor.

Is it that nTune thingy or something new? I ran that not long ago and it fecked with my GFX playing games, got crappy FPS afterwards, wasnt happy.

 

[Dylan]

Don't use nTune....if you want a software overclocker for your gfx card get......hang on I am looking.

 

[Dylan]

Kk, for complete control over your gfx card you want Riva Tuner, although I wouldn't overclock the card as you can kill it if you go to far....

RivaTuner
