It looks just as good my 24 at 1680x105 as it does on my 22... to me anyhow.

IIRC, the human eye can't discern the difference above 20-25fps anyway.
Good point.
It is all about what your eye perceives as smooth...:thumbsup:
There was a military study where pilots were shown an image of an airplane for a very short period of time...about 1/600th of a second. They were able to not only notice the image, but discern which plane it was.
So we can definitely see above 20-25fps; I know I can for sure.

What current video card can play games consistently at 60+ fps at 1920 x 1200 resolution assuming AA is turned off but details are set to max.?
Also, approximately how long will it keep playing upcoming games at 60+ fps ?

If it was 1/60th of a second, i might believe it. 1/600? No way. They eye just isn't that fast. Look at a car or truck on the highway. It looks like the wheels are spinning backwards because your eyes can't keep up with the speed of the wheels. Highspeed cameras - the ones that let movies show you slow motion - run at 300fps, not 600fps. And that's really fast. People have been busted for trying the subliminal ad trick using 1 frame out of 30 and it's takes hardware capable of slowing the video down to actually see it. And for those who can actually make out something in real time, they can't pull any detail out of it. They're aware of a break in continuity, but that's about it.
As for games, I can tell a difference above 30 frames a second, but not a huge one. Once it's above 60, to me anyhow, it's gravy. The biggest difference is that you don't notice the change in areas where it slows down due to loading or complex areas or tons of action.
Tests with Air force pilots have shown, that they could identify the plane on a flashed picture that was flashed only for 1/220th of a second.

For bleeding edge and high res gaming, I recommend an SLi setup. 2x8800GTX perhaps, however this limits your motherboard choices, won't be fully utilized by every game, and will cost you an arm and a leg.
For modest resolution a 8800GT is great value for the money, and can run crysis great at the highest settings. However, it is not at 60fps the whole time. The motion blur effect in crysis makes gameplay quite smooth at lower FPS, IMHO.
I am running games on my 720p native plasma, and am quite satisfied with the performance of the e8400 and 8800gt for my specific application.
