Single ATI 1950 XTX 512MB - is it enough?

YGPM n7 so we don't derail thread further.

If I get a 20" WS or 21" or 22" (all WS) is there any potential issue with the native rez for these monitors

a) not being HIGH enough - if I get a kick ass GPU set-up and I could go higher, want to go higher rez, but cannot because u need to run in native rez?

b) if I pick a weird size I get a weird native resolution that isn't supported by a lot of game

The most common resolution by far that I have seen is 1680x1050. There were only a couple games I've played that didn't support that res natively and all but one could be hacked to work correctly. The same games will have issues with any WS res so it doesn't matter if you get a 20" or 24" monitor in that regard.

Stock 7900GT SLIs yeah.

But some of the OCed 7900GTs in SLI > stock 7950GX2

I do agree the 7950GX2 = overall much better choice than SLI 7900GTs though.

QFT.

N0t really I beat all GX2 benchmarks by huge margin even using lowly A64 when they use E6800 course I'm past GTX levels on both. Plus it was $100 cheaper than single GX2 and I could put a water blocks on them for high levels of silence.

Dual XFX 7950 trumps all IMO. Totally Silent and beats GX2 stock no overclocking or overvolting needed and has ram so you don't run out when triple buffering and max AA unlike dual 7900GT.

UltimateBOB should go this way if nvida is his choice.

I meant stock speed of course . The reason i said that was because it is better overall. Takes up one PCI-e slot. Takes only dual slot unlike the 7950/7900GT SLi which takes 2 PCI-e slots and heck of space. The cooler used on the GX2 is silent and does its job. You also have the ability to go Quad.

But then the 7900/7950GT SLi has its cons like 3rd party coolers, vmod etc.

Guess its up to the user really
