Mother board of GA-770T-USB3... any issues with it having a slightly older chipset? I am out of the loop on AMD chipsets so just asking. Not that I know of. You could check out more expensive boards and the user reviews of them on newegg. -- Ed Light Better World News TV Channel: http://realnews.com Iraq Veterans Against the War and Related: http://ivaw.org http://couragetoresist.org http://antiwar.com Send spam to the FTC at Thanks, robots.

I wish I had some crt's around to test for the bug. -- Ed Light Better World News TV Channel: http://realnews.com Iraq Veterans Against the War and Related: http://ivaw.org http://couragetoresist.org http://antiwar.com Send spam to the FTC at Thanks, robots.

After what you said, I have to wonder if when I set my LCD to 75, if it's really at 60. -- Ed Light Better World News TV Channel: http://realnews.com Iraq Veterans Against the War and Related: http://ivaw.org http://couragetoresist.org http://antiwar.com Send spam to the FTC at Thanks, robots.

Everything that I have read says the frame rate of LCD's is 60 hz, or 120 hz for newer large 3D screens (60 hz per eye ball) and cannot be changed. 240 hz came out recently. I just installed the freeware version of Sys Info for Windows that Monty suggested. It shows my vid at 85 hz. (It looks like a great program, too - Thanks Monty.)
