Your rig sounds quite good to me. What's your display colour depth (bits per
pixel)? Also, what's the video bandwidth on the monitor as opposed to the
video bandwidth the card's capable of producing?
Interestingly enough, it's possible for your video card to be more capable than
your monitor. I use a Viper V550 myself (16 MByte VRAM), and it can outperform
most monitors, so the monitor I bought was a Nokia Multigraph 445XPro, which
had a video bandwidth higher than the V550. Mind you, the new V770 may finally
outperform the Nokia!
The "excuse" I had for getting all this nice hardware was to optimize all the
photos everyone sends me for the Olympus Gallery. It has since become the case
that I've been called on to do other things where the capabilities are useful
and even financially advantageous.
