Resolution differences with 8800gtx

[vygec]

Im Building my new rig (c2d, e6750 2gb mem, 8800GTX), and was orginally gonna use my existing 19" tft-running at 1280*1024.
But now im considering whether to fork out for a 22" widescreen tft as well. Would i see much 'visual' differences going from 1280*1024 to 1680 x 1050.

Or am i wasting my money
Ta.

I would say so, you have lots more pixels, not to mention playing in widescreen too!! 768MB is wasted on such a low resolution

I was going to argue that 1280x1024 isn't a low resolution but given the resolution on 24" and 30" monitors that you can purchase now I suppose it is a low resolution. I still think of 640x480 and 800x600 as being low resolutions but they are practically useless nowadays.

for a 8800gtx, 1600x1200 Id consider the minimum.
