Monitor and FPS

[Tomc@T]

I am planning on buying a new monitor, I have "nearly" plumped for the OcUK 24" monitor mainly due to the good reviews it gets here and looks good value:

But I am worried about the effect on the framerates from the increase in screen size from the monitor.

My main use would be playing America's Army online, I play Cod4 and Mohaa airborne too but not online so not overly worried about them. It would also be used for general internet and office use too, but know this will be okay.

I currently have 2 x 7900GTs overclocked in Sli connected to a VX924 (with dead pixels and subpixels) and I do get good framerates on Americas Army (85 solid with VSync on).

I would want to play/work at the native resolution of 1920 x 1200.

Is anyone able to advise what the effects would be? is this monitor okay to play fps games on? will keeping the current cards be "useable"?

Or do people think it would be better to buy a GTX or GTS now and get the monitor later on in the year, at present I cannot do both at the same time or I would!!!

Any comments most appreciated.

You'll obviously take an FPS hit, but it depends on what your GFX cards are clocked at, I suppose.
