Bigger monitor needs better video card?

[buildingacomputer]

I have been using 17" CRT with TNT2 video card @1024x768. I need 21" CRT @1152x864. Will I need a faster video card? Thanks for your help.

By the way, I don't do games. I have had no problem with TNT2.

No, but you just need to make sure that the card can do the resolution and refresh rate that you want.

If you don't play any games than the tnt2 should still be ok I'd think. Why not pick up the monitor first and see how the tnt2 drives it. By the way I've got a 21" crt monitor and it's awesome.

Thanks for the tips. I have already ordered 21" CRT from newegg. I was wondering if I should buy a video card as well. When I go home, I will check if the card has that resolution. Thanks.
