I recently bought a new machine as advised by people on here.
its an AMD X2 4400, 2 gig DDR gkill ram, a ultra DFI lanparty mobo, and a 1900XT 512 meg graphics card.
Anyway my issue is with the poor performance in games, I thought this thing would fly. I was advised to buy a widescreen monitor because apparently they are best for gaming. As it is TFT you have to run it at its native res which is 1680 x 1050. Now Im thinking to run games at this res this is whats killing the pc. yes I can run games but they jerk a fair bit and forget about playing FPS games.
I'm considering getting a smaller monitor with lower res to resolve the problem, or should i be ok with it as it is? I have latest nforce 4 drivers, and dual core driver, everything is bang up to date. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
