Bought 2405FPW - Getting Saturday ... Video Card ?s

[Safeway]

I have a 6800GT, overclocked, water cooled ...

My question is, will everyday use at 1920 x 1200 be okay? Can I expect to play anything at nearly that high of a res?

Also, how much of an impact would upgrading to a 7800GT or GTX make?

7800GT = bleh on my 2405FPW so I say 6800GT will suck. Then again, I'm running at stock OC speeds (BFG 7800GTOC). But still. THe fact that I have to play many games at 1680x1050 instead of 1920x1200 pisses me off. The fact htat I need tot urn off some eye-candy pisses me off. The fact that I can't even play 1280x1024 MAX settings with eyecandy (4xAA, 16xAF) for certain games like COD2 or Quake4 pisses me off.

Meh. I'm not a huge gamer anymore. I just play CS:S and other HL2 mods.

Just set the monitor in one-to-one mode and reduce the game's resolution.

for what you want, your 6800 is more than enough...

you don't need anything higher than what you have

Ok. The system I am running on is 1 1/2 years old - due for an upgrade this Summer. As it is, I have a 3.0Ghz Northwood, Abit AI-7, and eVGA 6800GT AGP. These are the only components I will be replacing - hopefully. When I do upgrade, I will go lesser SLI or greater single PCI-e.

I ran my 2405FPW off of a 9800 Pro for a couple days while I was putting my new system together. Normal desktop stuff at 1920x1200 was fine.

Now I run with a single 7800GT overclocked and I run Half-Life 2 at full settings at 1920x1200.. its definately playable. I also play BF2 with their pseudo-widescreen and it plays ok at those resolutions too. Definately not smooth as butter, but again quite playable.

I run a 2405FPW with my X800XT @ 1920x1200 with no problems. WoW, Battlefield2, NFS:MW, etc. all play fine.
