is 8800GTS over the top for 1600x1200?

hi guys

i play HL2, farcry, eve, company of heroes, rollercoaster tycoon 3 and few others on 21" dell CRT @ 1600x1200

wondered if 8800GTS is over the top for the resolution i'm using?

thanks

Im using the GTX at 1680*1050 so i would say go for it

i also play those games on my laptop with 7800GTX @ 1650x1050 resolution

i only see very very little lag on few games, no lag/jerky in HL2 with everything on max.

i'm going to upgrade my main rig (p4 2.4ghz, 512mb, 6800GT 256mb), i'm a little worried that i mite be very disappointed with performance from 8800GTS as i'm extermely happy with performance from 7800GTX in my laptop.

perhaps, desktop 7900GTX is enough for me?

Yep, buy.

I went from a 7800GTX to a 8800GTS at 1280x1024 res and noticed a difference. IQ is massively increased plus I can use all the AA and AF I want

i currently use my 7900gt extreme at 1680x1050 and if u got the money go for it
