follow-up ko sa Q ni beloyski..

does the monitor also affect the output?
sample on beloyski's specs.. does it offer any difference in terms of quality when using CRT or LCD?

CRT and LCD are totally independent from the computer, display wise LCD takes up the least table space and looks great, and doesn't fade imo.
always go for LCD when you can, and its pretty standard nowadays.

also resolution affects gaming, 1280x1024 is pretty standard resolution, means that he either has a standard 17" LCD not a widescreen one. which also affects the card, max graphics on low resolution is the usual answer for graphics performance problems.

thanks for the infor sir;
also, who consumes most power LCD or CRT?

my CRT is darked colored and i use ATI's CCC to lighten up the display, and i always get the vpu error.. related ba ni siya sa vpu error kani akong darked-colored monitor.

(what i mean sa dark, ang iyang display, ngit-ngit siya compared to ordinary CRTs)

is your CRT dark because its old? that happened to my really old 15" CRT monitor. dark jud cya when you start it up but after an hour it becomes brighter.

i havent done any research but i think LCD uses the least power, does it VPU error if you dont lighten up the screen?

the monitor is quite old, 1998 from a pc package of IBM; compaq nayab-an ni siya ug tubig sa likod mihayag man ug kalit, pero pagka-uga tingale to.. mibalik na pud siya ug kangit-ngit napud
ingun ako migo pwede ra daw ni ma-adjust sa luyo.

i think the VPU error is highly related sa too much usage on CCC, kay nig crash sa VPU mobalik siya ug dark then ako na pud reactivate. mura napugos lage ang vcard

now i know what to choose and what to buy.. tanx for the post

@jean
it depends on what games. with that vcard it will be hard for you to play with todays latest games.

bro your monitor is more than 10 years old!! upgrade to a brighter and newer monitor! lets see if the VPU crashes will go away without you brightening it up.

if not seriously return the card, dont you want to get what you paid for?
