9800GT good enough for 1920x1080 gaming these days?

Specifically, WoW and SC2, above others, although possibly UT3 and other new games too.

Your fine, look what I got pretty much same as yours. I play @ 1920x1200@85hz vsync on game details to high, and nvidia panel ,,, DO NOT use AA, that will slow things down plus you dont need it when u that high in res. I play UT3 as well and lets just say its smooth as silk, not a single slow down. Thanks

You will not notice a difference. also put high quality on npanel and single gpu ,, etc,, and play your games ull see how fast and smooth is. You can buy it from ebay for 75 dollars etc,,,from what Ive heard.... good luck,,

the games you named will run okay @ that res on a 9800GT, but by and large i wouldnt want to use anything less than a 5770 as a bare minimum. consider my position though, i have 5870 crossfire in 2 boxes now and a 28 inch 1920x1200 panel. anything less would be a huge downgrade for me. any newer games than whats out now, i would recommend getting a 5850

That card is fine for those games at that rez. The only game that may suffer would be wow. I play SC2 Beta with a 9600 GT on AMD BE2350 2.1 Ghz dual core and it plays great on 1080 with setting close to being maxed out. UT3 is very well optimized and runs great on even older cards.

Will that card play those games enjoyably at that resolution? Yes.

Will you be able to max out settings and AA? Not by a long shot.

Is tweakboy a Markov chain script? Very likely.
