Well I love the VX924 but my current LCD has a contrast ratio of 1000:1 compared to the relatively low 550:1 the VX924 has. I decided to trade a few MS for the higher contrast and so far I'm extremely happy I did. The picture quality is so much higher on current LCD and no ghosting is present. Of course first game I tested with was NFS Most Wanted as the action is fast. Then on to Doom 3 to test blacks. Blacks are almost that which you'd expect to find from a CRT. Then it also comes to great stand this thing sits on. It is very adjustable and it has an Automatic Pivot feature so you can rotate the screen. This screen is a fair bit more then the VX924 but well worth it I think. I gave the VX924 to the wife and she simply loves it, of course it's a great LCD.

I'll post a bit about it later in the game section as I'll discuss how well it is for gaming and mention the differences I've found between the VP930b and the VX924 etc.
 
you should be fine, i would look at doing some trial and error on the settings to find what best suits your system though
 
My friend has a 2.4ghz intel, over a gig of ram, and a radeon 9000 agp (yikes! I know. He has Oblivion and the system can't play it. What are your recommendations? (By the way, he is set on buying a new pci-e motherboard). Should he get one of those NF4 LanParty Ultra-D motherboards and a 7900gt or something? Then he can overclock to maybe 2.8ghz if lucky and run max graphics.

how will this game will run on my 6600??, will it be playable on medium setting on 1024x768??

Oh yea you should be OK with those settings.

I can run the game fairly high settings but it's no joy. If I adjust settings like View distance (not technical name) etc. I can play it just fine. I want to enjoy the game on high settings though and this is why I'm considering the upgrades soon. Anyone with a 6800GT is still going to have an enjoyable experience if yo don't mind lowering settings a bit.
 
i run max with:

64 3500+
1 gig pc3200
BFG 6800 GT


When i first got the game, i ran 30 fps constant, but for some reason, im gettin 15-20 now, i think my systmes gay and has too much crap cloggin up resources. Under 15, still looks amazing, but once upclose play ensues, it will drop to low teens. Never went below 10 tho, ever.

PLAY WITH GRASS OFF. if u want to save about 10 frames a second lol. it still looks really good lol. And grass really just gets in the way.

im so leet.
 
did you get that sweet armour by going into the oblivion gate?... i know where you the the kvatch stuff you're wearing but i cant find any decent armour or weapons in the game lol
 
This game is a real gem! When you buy it im sure your social life will go downhill. Its totally addictive, graphics are amazing! you can go round pick pocketing and rob peoples houses. I get contracts to assassinate people, its a sweet game.

Rehcamretsnef where did you get that armor? I want it ><

We have very similar systems (CPU and Graphics). Indeed I've played full settings with a clean system (FPS unchecked). For me to fully enjoy a game it needs to be full graphics and almost no slow down. 20FPS are no acceptable to me so I'm waiting until I've upgraded. Just bought a brand new LCD a couple days ago so I must wait a bit.

But yea I know turning stuff off is going to improve performance as it does with every game out there. I won't do it.

Well between this game and WoW im sure i will never set foot outside ever again :P
 
What would you recommend then?
a)Tune down some graphics (such as grass or whatever)
b)go 2xAA and 16xAF or something
c)go 4xAA and 4xAF or 8xAF

I want to lose the least amount of "WOW LOOK AT THE GRAPHICS" effect.
 
i got this game today, and im a little pissed at my system for not doing as well as it should. my friend and i have very similar comps, except he has a 6600gt, and i have a 6600le. he is able to run this game seemingly a lot smoother than i am. are the GPUs that different, or is it a driver thing? anyone got any suggestions? i have the game turned to pretty medium/low settings and im still getting lowsy frame rates.
 
can i play this game with this config.-ThinkCentre A50, Intel Pentium 4 2.8GHz (512KB), 400MHz FSB, 128MB, 40GB 7200RPM IDE HDD, PCI Tower (3x4), Intel 865GV, 48x32x48x CD-RW, winxp pro and win98se;[intel extreme graphics 2]

No, not even close. Even if it did manage to run you would probably get about 1 or 2 FPS with everything on low/off. The game comes on a DVD only if I'm not mistaken so you would have to buy DVD-ROM drive just to be able to have your computer read the disc.

Read this to know the minimum requirements to play.
