You cannot beat this community! So helpful. Many many thanks. Now, how about this one? Product #N82E16814130531. Is it smarter to let them over clock it?

Hi there What frame rate do the source videos have? My personal opinion is that your display (computer screen or TV) refresh rate should always be a multiple of the source content (TV or video) frame rate. In other words, if it were me I would only try and set my TV to 24Hz if the video frame rates are 24fps. My reason for that...

MP1 MP2 which graphics card DE
Yep. As far as ATI SE goes, these are the "quantity over quality" cards. I own a 9600 SE card as well. This particular card features 256MB RAM which was very rare at that time and unheard of in the 9600SE' pricerange. Those 256MB are considerably slower than the 128MB featured on the normal 9500/9600 versions thou, which resulted...

As with all things - they work for some people, not for others. In this case I have been unlucky With the 6450 the 11.11 drivers caused total corruption of one of my HD channels. Changed to 11.4 and all was ok. But then the main problem is the HDMI port, if I use it then I get 'hum bars' across the TV at 50hz. Looking into this it...

As far as I can recall, Swede's hack was a patched texture cache file. Once the SVNs got the option (only through editing the xml file) of not caching all the textures, Swede's hack was no longer needed. The setting is off by default still. You have to edit the xml.

Hi, just to be shure; Did you try to increase the rollspeep? -> settings -> GUI -> rollspeed.. This setting is set on 50 by default.. Increase it to 100 makes a huge difference.. In my case it was the difference between slow and buggy and fast and smooth! :)

Well, the blurry fonts where caused by an imagescan of my TV. Somehow it resetted after installing a new videocard. So my TV decreased the size of the 'image' while ATI and the NVIDIA card upscaled it all to make if fit again. After a complete new install I figured out that this was causing the blurry font. Still though... the ATI...
