 Dont mess with old school | I'm in the middle of building a pc for the office I work for and I got them a 19" widescreen (viewsonic va1912wb) and I've been using it on my main rig and I'm impressed with how far lcd's have come. So after playing with it for a while I decided to do some research to find out what lcd I would buy if I were to get one right now. While researching I found a thread reviewing a dell 20" and it had this picture in it for comparisons of another lcd he had.  Original thread here: http://www.widescreengamingforum.com...pic.php?t=4203 Anyways, that screenshot is amazing!! I didn't realize it was an in game pic until I noticed the gun!!  When did games start looking this good and what card would one need to play games at that level of detail? A little off topic I'm looking at these lcds: dell 2007FPW ViewSonic VX2025WM |

 I Am The Black Wizards | You need at least an nVidia 6600+, wouldn't know the ATi-equiv. And that's HL2. |

 Indigenous Nudist | god bless, i didnt know hl2 could look that good! ive seen all the hdr pictures and shit, but this one.. damn. Is that lcd or projection? on a side note. im finannly finishing up hl2 on the xbox360. i bought it for pc when it first came out but only got %25 through and lost interest. but damn, these objectives and landscapes are fucking huge! The levels are soo damn long. |

 outside the box! | I just finished up Episode one...what a fuckin' cliffhanger. The graphics of DX10 look so much better than that. I can't wait. Wow, perfect link, I was looking for a place to find out about widescreen gaming. I want to go large and that place may answer alot of questions I have. |
 Say goodbye to our beloved planet. Because there is alot more money to be made in emitting greenhouse gasses, than curtailing emissions. Get out of the box, then recycle it. | |

| Senior Member | The funny thing is, that screenshot isn't even the latest version of the Source Engine for HL2. They made a whole bunch of improvements for Episode 1 that aren't in Lost Coast. But yeah, games now are fucking incredible looking. |

| outside the box! | HL2 runs fine on mmy 6800gt. Crysis is definately on my to-do list. Been waiting for it since completing Farcry. |
