Hi guys,

Ok so I am using a GTX 660 2gb OC Windforce edition, and the Geforce experience thing tells me the following games cannot be optimised:

ARMA II Operation Arrowhead
Planetside 2
Team Fortress 2
Skyrim
The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings (Enhanced edition)

I have no idea why this is the case or how I can fix it - anyone help? I'd love to be getting the best out of my games for all the money I spend and want to see what all the fuss is about with Geforce specific games!

Cheers

I checked before - sorry should have mentioned - all of these games on this list are on the games supported list - but nothing changes

I'm running Windows 7 with an i5 3570k, 8gb ram and i'm using a tv as a monitor, this one: http://www.amazon.co.uk/LG-26LC2R-Widescreen-Ready-LCD/dp/B000FBFY3M which has a best fit of 1176x664, which I think it translates to 720p not 1080p, but runs at 60Hz. (probably buying a pc specific monitor as soon as i can)

Ballsack! Figured this tv would be the problem but I really didn't want to have to spend more money -_- Since we're here can you recommend any good monitors for a decent price? I'm UK based, by the way.

Cheers

I'm happy with my little ASUS, but any of these will work well. What's your budget for a new monitor?

What about this? For the price I just hope I can trust it, what's the difference between this and the Dells you recommended? Also I used an HDMI cable to connect the LG to the back of my pc, does it make a difference not using HDMI for example with this monitor? I use a headset all the time for sound .

Looks fine, but you might want to start a new thread asking which monitor to buy in the UK for your budget - I'm not an expert by any means. And yes, HDMI can cause scaling issues, so the best choice is DVI - the monitor will come with the cable to connect to your GPU.
