    64 bit monitors

    Uh, first off your monitor is 8-bit, meaning it is 16.7 or so million colours...a 10-bit monitor or TV can display as many as 1 billion colours. So it is your OS that has changed as Hunter pointed out.

    Is the GTX 260 the Best Choice for my New Build?

    Just get a GTX 295 and future proof, your next bug upgrade can be a CPU in 2 years or more. This way the card can run your 20" today, a Hi Def TV, any future monitor up to 2560x1600 and a TV, so bite the bullet and go for it! Let the flames against me begin!

    Dual core or quad core

    depends on the rest of the system. You will need a viceo card that will be very good (assuming you want HD minimuim) That way you won't bottleneck anywhere. If so, get a quad!

    GTX295 @1680x1050 + future

    My two cents: I run a Q9450 at 3.0 and GTX 295. I run 2 24" monitors, but with my drivers they run either independently at 1920x1200 each, or one of them at that res. Previous drivers allowed me to run games at 3840x1200 which was bada$$. Anywho, at 1920x1200 I run one monitor for gaming on my...

    Connecting 295gtx to soundblaster x-fi fatal1ty.

    I have the same setup! EVGA GTX 295 and XFi Fatlity Pro, I have NOT tried to connect the audio cable as I don't have a Blu-Ray drive. I have wondered this too and the only answer I have come across is that you can connect it to the motherboard's audio solution (if it has one, and there is an...

    Poll: Do you like the EVGA Step Up Program?

    I paid $510 for the 280 when I bought it, and the new 295 is priced at $510 on the evga website (when I did the step up) and the diff is the $15 shipping, + + + = $100.

    Poll: Do you like the EVGA Step Up Program?

    $15 shipping, $20 or so to ship mine out, tax of about $60 on the new card...all in all about $100. Should have made that clear.
