The settings are for when you connect a HDTV device to your Pc like a plasma or lcd tv.
You only need to look at Display Manager and 3D settings in CCC.
Ps. You should think about a better monitor, that 4850 coupled with a decent Cpu and enough ram can do alot better. I have a 3850 and my 3 years old AMD 64 3800+ single core is dragging my card down.

Thanks!

I have a DQ 8400 processor and 2GBDDR3-1000 RAM and I am about to change my monitor now.

My only concern is if I will be able to "see" SH3 in 4:3 on a 16:10 monitor (you know with the black borders) in order to avoid stretching and right now I am messing with the settings for this reason!

Regarding the aspect ratio I do not know. My monitor is a 19" Lcd LG at 1280/1024, so 4:3 aspect ratio is fine

Thought I'd mention that the CCC is a big drain on resources, I have removed it & use Tray Tools, the beta version has a much better fan control for the HD 48XX cards and less resources.:yep:

Really? Do they have a function to "squeeze" a 16:10 TFT screen to some or directly 4:3 ?

[bybyx]

Squeezing a 4:3 aspect ratio in 16:10 will result in distorting the image by enlargement

[geosub1978]

No, no I mean the opposite in a wide monitor 16/10 squeeze to 4/3!

I am sure that:-
NTSC is the Video system used in America.
PAL is the Video sytem used in the UK.

There is an option like that in Ati Tray Tools(Perserve aspect ratio in the above pic), but for me and several other Ati+TFT-monitor users it's greyed out(unaccessible) for an unknown reason. The only option to get an undistorted SH3 is to run it in windowed mode, which is locked to a 1024x768 sized window, or use this (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=143394&highlight=d3dwindower) method to run it in a custom sized window.

I just bought a new LG 20'' wide which had a magick button:

4:3 in WIDE !!!!!

End of problems!
