Just purchased this screen and I wanted to give a shout out to those who are working from home and still using 1080p. This seems to be a solid monitor so far: - 2560 x 1440 - 27 inches - IPS - Great sound system for built-in speakers - 100hz - VRR if you're into that kind of thing - 100% sRGB...

Yep I get that. I agree. I mean the old Tseng cards can be considered gaming GPU's too right? I think they had the fastest DOS 2D performance. :D

I get what you're saying and I respect that. I do, however, feel that the first GPU to include T&L sets it apart from its forefathers. Before this inclusion, the CPU was still doing some of the heavy lifting. Not all of it obviously, and that's where the old graphics accelerators saved the...

Is this why my plasma refreshes at 96hz for 24hz content? It does look lovely. Do OLED TV's not do the same thing? EDIT - I don't mean 96hz specifically but just display 24hz content at a multiple - like 120hz (like most of them are capable of doing)?

I'm a BFI whore. Unless I see a FALD LCD that allows the same tweaking as my Viewsonic XG-2431, I'm not interested. OLED is the only tech that doesn't require extensive tweaking to get a perfect crosstalk-less strobe. Even if it's at reduced clarity compared to said XG-2431. So yes, I get...

I always find these kinds of products fascinating. They took some odd design choices and risks. With 20/20 hindsight it's easy to see that it never would have worked out but it's still fun to look back on them anyways. Parhelia's weird Vertex Shaders vs Pixel Shaders being one of those...

Dude, CRT and Plasma pimp-slap LCD, in my opinion. Yet I'm using LCD now. I use what I have for the job that I need. I do wish to get an OLED monitor though. But yes, I will continue to "go back" to LCD. Will I use LCD on my main gaming rig afterward? Probably not - why would I?

I wish all manufacturers put at least some effort into calibrating their screens like Apple did. A good bit of them finally are, but I always appreciated Apple for this. Anyways - I have no dog in this fight. Just saw your mention of a calibrated screen and wanted to chime in with how much I...

Nvidia gives you options as to which timing formula to use. I had good results using the GTF formulas, if I recall correctly:

Only a matter of time. I was driving home and explaining to my kids what analog TV was like "back in the day". There's lots of old stuff that children today have virtually no exposure to anymore. Sad.

I used to show off my GDM CRT monitors with this game. Absolutely gorgeous.

It's the first GPU with hardware T&L, which was the game-changing aspect of it. I think that you can make an argument for the claim of "first gaming GPU" using this standard. Before this the main CPU still had to do the T&L calculations. GeForce 256 eliminated that.

Its sound levels were compared to leaf blowers back in the day. That was the joke. Only the old bastages would get the reference.

I saw some of these at Home Depot the other day.

Better than nothing. It also gives us options. Woot!
