Should I bother getting a 22" LCD with a 7300 GT?

My CRT's going green on me, so I'm eyeing up an LCD to replace it. Problem is that I'm stuck with a crappy videocard for the time being. I will be gaming on this (at low to medium settings of course), so will not being able to run at native resolution suck too much?

Doesn't sound like you have a choice so why ask and get depressed?

This is where 1:1 pixel mapping (with black borders around the image) comes into play. You think all these guys with 30" monitors actually play all their games at 2560x1600? 😛

My freakin videocard doesn't even support anything above 12x10... !!!

yes it does. maybe your curent monitor doesnt go above 1280 but the 7300gt sure as heck can.

Once you hook up your LCD with a DVI cable, you should be able to access higher resolutions.
