Why were you forced to downgrade?
His ATI card doesn't work with his TV.
Now that's just a silly reason to downgrade.
Not really. I bought this 32" tv in order to work with 16:9 resolutions and to have a 2nd monitor. I don't really need a better card than what I downgraded to for video work, and for me, that takes top priority over gaming. The ATI card I had has no HDMI ports on it. Apparently, the HDMI<->DVI handshaking problem has been around since '07 with ATI, and they haven't resolved it yet. When you plug it in, you just get a "no signal". The card recognizes there is a device plugged in, but doesn't feel like talking to it.
So using my old 8600GT now. Waiting for the prices to come down a bit on other cards to warrant an upgrade. I'm also selling my 4770 as well. Fantastic card for the price, though.
