30" IPS from a 24" LCD

So, I could be the owner of a Dell 30" U3011 tonight. However, I have a few questions as if the answers are what I think they are, I will sell it on.

GPU - EVGA 670 GTX FTW

1) will my GPU output to that resolution through HDMI?
2) will my GPU struggle at such resolutions with games?
3) what GPU will not struggle?
4) will running games in 1920x1080 on it look awful?

Thanks!

Yes
Yes if you want constant 60 fps and maxed settings
None
Yes not worth it

I have a U3011 and a 590gtx. It doesn't struggle with cod and battlefield.

It does slightly with Skyrim.

Sadly, my dream was squashed early. Can't obtain the screen anymore

How very annoying. Oh well.

30" at 1080p would look dire when sat a foot away at a desk.

Ok I have 2x4GB EVGA 670s and a really high speced PC (imo)

I game normally at 2560x1600 and on some games I have serious issues, at 1920x1200 ( or whatever that res is ) I have not had a single issue and it doesn't look bad at all.

Not answering your questions directly as I game at a different res but giving my feed back. I have a 2nd monitor which is my 24' and I really struggle using that after using a 30 in the thing is huge.
