DX10 gives me tons of problems 50% of the timeYou do need to upgrade your video card; if you can scrape up $180, that will hold you a bit at maybe High-Medium with AA 2X and AF 8X (if you want to always be above 30fps at that resolution it costs you in AA and AF, mostly AA).I'll probably buy one of the $300+ cards when I can afford it. Also how much FPS would I probably get with no AA or AF?You might could also put a sound card in and that should take away some of the load off the CPU. Integrated chips are better but your CPU does the work. $30. I'm sure it might be at least a couple fps and better (but not as much these days) sound.I might get oneIf you could cut the resolution down to something with the same aspect ratio, that might help. If you had a bit smaller monitor laying around, like a 19", you also would be better off. Maybe find one at a Goodwill (if you are broke) or used goods store.This is the only monitor I got left, and I consider it kinda small (the rest were bigger anyway ) IDK what you mean by aspect ratio (width by height?)I just bought a 23" that I'm returning - not for the system hit but for the ghosting which at "5ms" was worse than my 4ms GTG by a lot.

well, I don't really mind the image being stretched (as long as it isn't too noticeable in-game)PSU is power supply, rite?
