I'm thinking of getting a new monitor and I was wondering how will my HD4850 handle things at that resolution. Currently I have a 22" and I can run everything on pretty much highest with 4x AA. I have the card overclocked to 750/2000. The game I'm currently playing is Fallout 3. I don't care at all about Crysis. I'm looking to play Red Alert 3, Dead Space, Left 4 Dead, Starcraft 2, and Diablo 3 though and I would like to run it at highest settings. So, I'm now thinking of upgrading to a 28" monitor but I'm not sure if I should yet because if my video card can't handle it and I lag it wouldn't be worth it.

My question basically is how well will the HD4850 handle current games and future games at 1920x1200 at highest settings. Would I have to upgrade to a HD4870 or better?

When I was looking at benchmarks in July the 4850 seemed a liitle weak for 19x12 gaming so I went with the 4870. If you want 19x12 with AA/AF you might also want to spend extra for the 1 GB version.
