30" Cinema for games...how is it?

I have two 20" Apple Cinema displays on my dual G5 w/ GeForce 6800 Ultra.
I was wondering how a single 30" is for games? I can play HALO and UT2K3/4 at high framerate at native, fullscreen 1680x1050 w/ all effects on. I doubt native 2560x1600 on the 30" Cinema could be achieved w/ same framerate.
Can a smaller res, like 1680x1050 or so be used, centered on the screen with black space around - equivalent to the physical size of a 20" in the middle of the 30" field? Or must it be scaled out to full screen?
Any other game comments, or comments in general? Thanks.

Hi blakespot,
in most games you can use a lower resolution and keep the other settings. Some, like 1280x1024 are 4:3 resolutions which will leave black bands on the left & right side. Just cycle through them, many are widescreen so they fill the whole 30" screen. If your computer/graphics card is fast enough you should of course run natively in 2560x1600. I was surprised that the new Enigmo2 runs very fast with all settings to highest and the native resolution. And I'm only using a G4 PowerBook! Nearly all 3D games like Quake can be set to use a widescreen resolution, even if it's not in the game's video settings. WoW looks awesome on the 30" too...

    Regarding the old iMac.  Just delete your USER NAME from the Control Panel.  Go into System Preferences - then User/Groups and delete your account from there.
    Just a bit of advice though before you do all this, go and buy yourself a remote Hard Drive, they're really good value today and copy off all of your sacred files from your old computer onto the new drive.  You could also do the same via the Backup.app    
    It's well worth doing....    You can easily delay the switch over for a few days and you'll then have a backup disc that you'll start to use again and again.

    How can I choose another name for Game Center ? (not a nick)

    Hi XxCarrisxX,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on exactly what you are asking. If you are talking about changing to or using a different Apple ID in Game Center, you may find the following article helpful:
    Sign in to your Game Center account using your Apple ID. If you don't have an Apple ID or another Apple account, tap or click Create New Account to create an account to use with Game Center.
    You can change the account you are signed into by:
    iOS: Tap Settings > Game Center.
    OS X: Click the Me tab in the Game Center app and click on your Account.
    Apple Support: Using Game Center

    However, make sure you are aware of the following:
    Note: Please note each Apple ID has its own associated scores, achievements, and friends.
    Apple IDs are also tied to your other Apple services, and therefore should not be created lightly.
    Regards,
    - Brenden

  • Okay so my iphone says its connected to the internet but the internet only works for games so i cant use things like facebook twitter or youtube PLZ TELL ME HOW TO FIX THISf

    Okay so my iphone says its connected to the internet but the internet only works for games so i cant use things like facebook twitter or youtube PLZ TELL ME HOW TO FIX THISf by the way it an iphone 4s and i have never encountered this problem before my dads iphone is the same after we updated to ios 8.1.1 but my mum hasnt updated yet and hers is fine

    If deleting then reinstalling the apps doesn't work, then contact the app developer for support.
    It sounds, though, like your internet connection is simply very slow.
    Try making a backup, then restoring the iPhone as new, and testing again.

  • How do I get sound to work  for games...?

    How do I get sound to work for game apps, when I have sound for other items on ipad2?

    Have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the iPod and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound.
    Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

  • I have 3 i-4 phones and one app account. I paid for one game, how do I download it to the other two phone without paying again.

    I have 3 i-4 phone and one app account. I have paid for one game, how do I download this game to my other 2 i-4 phone whitout paying again?

    There is no device limit for the number of iPods, iPads, and iPhones that can be synced with the same iTunes library and iTunes account on the same computer. Each device can have its own sync preferences with iTunes along with iTunes creating and maintaining a backup for each device, which is updated by iTunes automatically as the first step during the iTunes sync process.
    Since all iTunes content on each iPhone - all music, movies, tv shows, audio and print books, and 3rd party apps should be in your iTunes library on your computer, connect the other two iPhones to iTunes and under the Apps tab for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, select the game to be installed on the iPhone followed by a sync. Repeat for the other iPhone.

  • I signed up for Games Center. How to un-sign and get my credit card info removed?

    OK. I'm an idiot (with an IPad2).
    I don't want to play games with other people but there was a chess board among the images for Games Center so I thought there was a chess program I could check out.
    So now there is no point in me taking any risks and having my credit card info associated with Games Center, so how to I reverse my sign-up for games center and get my credit card info deleted?
    I can't even find a way to edit the credit card info - and if I could I suppose they wouldn't accept a link to an incorrect number ...

    We don't work for Adobe. We are just users.
    You'll want to take this to the proper forum for that product at Adobe PDF Pack (read only)
    Good luck.

  • My Initials for Game Center are displaying as DC when they should be NC how do I change them ?

    My Initials for Game Center are displaying as DC when they should be NC how do I change them ? This makes it confusing for people to add me and is an annoyance please help.

    That's because you scanned them as B/W photos and iPhoto 08 doesn't support the grayscale color profile.  You can either rescan them as color photos or export them as originals out of iPhoto to a folder on the desktop and applhy this Automator application, Convert to JPG and Embed sRGB Profile, on them and then remimport into iPhoto. You can download it from  Toad's Cellar .  Be sure to read the warning on the website about not applying it on your only copies.

  • How Does EAX For Games W

    I am afraid that I've never been able to figure out how to configure my EAX Console to ensure that the EAX is working in my gaqmes. For example, in Far Cry, you can enable hardware mixing and, after that, EAX 2. If I enable these, what do I set in the EAX Console? Enable Audio Effects? If so, what audio effect? You use to be able to select EAX Games under special effects, but that option isn't there unless I import it.
    How do I tell what game uses what setting? Other games I want to ensure I have the proper setup for are Half Life 2, Call Of Duty, Medal of Honor, Halo.
    Clarification of the exact procedure would be most welcome.

    Foomobile,
    For games, with this card, you don't need to set anything up except EAX in the game itself. Just choose an EAX option in the game and that's all you need to do. You don't need to adjust anything in EAX console.
    You may want to update to the latest drivers aswell, as they add extra EAX support (EAX 4.0).

    I'm continually getting updates for games (also for the usual stuff, but that's fine), is there a way to edit what updates you get? 
    Thanks!

    HI ..
    You can you re download the same app for free on all supported devices using the same Apple ID >  Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    For that app, check the iTunes store for iPhone and iPad iOS compatibility. The app may not be updated to run on the iPad running iOS 8.
