Hello all, Im new to the forums. Just thought i would introduce myself.

Anyway to the point,

For christmas im having a Belinea 2225S1W 22" Widescreen LCD Monitor, and i dont think my graphics card is going to cope very well at all, i currently have a 9800 Pro 128Meg, i get a nice 125FPS on cod2 with my 17" CRT, but i dont think ill get the same FPS with the resolution of 1680 x 1024. Im not to sure about my budget but im thinking around £100, i dont want to go over board because next year i intend to build a very good PC. i Have seen these cards.

BFG GeForce 7600 GS OC 512MB DDR2 HDTV/DVI (AGP)
Processor: 7600 GS
Interface Slot: AGP
Memory: 512MB DDR2
Core Clock: 420MHz (vs 400MHz std)
Memory Clock: 800MHz

ATI Radeon X1650 Pro ICEQ 512MB DDR2 TV-Out/DVI (AGP)
Powered by ATI Radeon X1650Pro - 587MHz
512MB-128bit 4 channel DDR2 memory - 800MHz
12 Pixel shader processor
5 Vertex shader processor
8 Geometry Pipelines
Ultra-threaded SM 3.0 Engine
256-bit Ring-bus

Not to sure about these two, which one would i most likely get 125 FPS with full resolution?

and PS, if i do buy a graphics card anyone interested in a Radeon 9800 Pro, unfortunately i dont have the box.

any help would be much appricated thankyou for your time Jamie. :)

Well basically my suituation is that i will have around £100 where i can just upgrade my gfx card so that it will be able to handle the resolution with a reasonable fps instead of around 30, and upgrade fully next summer. You dont think it will be worth it? and if i sell the card in a few months i wouldn't get any return on it? and im not very technical with computers tbh, what is bottleneck :S?

basically it will run a lot slower than the graphics card? so it wont be able to preform to its maximum ability.
 
Ok thanks mate, i understand what you mean i have seen this card

NVIDIA GEFORCE 6800 GT 256MB GDDR3 AGP (6800GT)

for £68.00, you think that is a good buy, might be more tho depending on the bids.

GPU Clock Speed: 350 MHz
Memory Clock Speed: 1 GHz

Will that completely pwn my current 9800 pro?
 
yea thats setup, and there is an XFX 6800 GT going to for £50, shame i wont have the money till 22 December hopefully there will be similar products, and atm i use 1280 x 1024. no AA.
