best resolution monitor for a 275?

drew64 · 7 Apr 2009 at 22:00

this may seem like a dumb question, but ive read a lot of contradicting reviews which has left me confused.

what do you guys think would be the largest monitor i could get with this card and still run games with all the bells and whistles?
looking for a monitor purely for gaming and regular computer useage.

any help would be appreciated.

A 24" would be the sweet spot.

Take your pick of aspect ratios..

16:10 (1920*1200) - More desktop space for general use/gaming
or
16:9 (1920*1080) - Preferrable if you watch a lot of movies

would i not be getting really low frame rates on games a that high res?

im not talking crysis. but things like Left4dead, Cod4 etc.

wanting to still have everything up full and not need to worry about fps.

depends on what graphics card you have. you'll want a fairly high end card for 1920x1200 gaming (ati 4870, nvidia 260 or what ever the current crop are called)

it'll be a 275

just wondering if it'll be able to handle a big screen, or if i should play it safe and get a 22/23 inch

It'll be fine on a 24" monitor, I run my 280 on one with no problems, especially on the games you mentioned. The 275 and 280 are quite similar in performance.
