How are you liking the 5970? I'm thinking about selling my 5850 and going for it.......

They're so damn expensive tho. Would have been nice to have that's for sure.

What can I use to measure fps?

Just from using it everything seems to be running great. Everything is turned on and maxed out at 120Hz refresh, not sure if I notice a difference between 60 and 120 tho. I question whether BFBC2 is defaulting back to 60Hz. I select it in the list and when I reboot the game it just gives me the resolution, but it doesn't say 60Hz either. I'd hook up a second monitor so I could watch the ATI control Center, but that's just drawing more from the card and wouldn't be accurate. If anything I might get a little lag when a huge series of explosions happens right next to me. Not enough to bother me.

One dead pixel in the upper right, don't even notice it unless I look for it. The whites are very bright! Very nice monitor tho. Movies look incredible on it!!!

People usually use FRAPS to test/record benchmarks. I just meant for you to respond how it "feels".

I get the occasional blip in BC2 too, but sometimes it's the server and not your system.

It feels great. Never had a wide screen so it took a little time to adjust, but I like it quite a bit now. This monitor is 100x better then my old one! A good purchase!!! I think Foe has the same one too.
