I'm going from a 20.1" non-widescreen to a 24" widescreen. It should be here in a day or two.
Is my 8800GTX going to start choking? It's been able to take EVERYTHING I've thrown at it up to this point, but only at 1600x1200. I don't really want to shell out any more money right now, but I would be disappointed if I had to turn down a lot of the eye candy.
Right now I'm mainly playing Oblivion, Crysis, and some other games that aren't as graphically demanding. However, I'm considering either grabbing GRID or COD4 sometime soon.
Finally, is there any disadvantage to running a game at non-native resolution? If I start to get a lot of FPS problems, I may just lower it to 1680x1050 and see how it looks.
System specs are in my signature.
