Hi, i have the following setup and im not sure what monitor to get with it.
AMD Phenom II x 4 955 Black Edition overclocked to 3.8ghz
4GB DDR3 Ram
ATI Radeon 4890 1gb
I was going to get a samsung 24" monitor with a native res of 1900x1200 however someone told me that i might not be able to run games like crysis/arma2 on very high settings at a resolution 1900x1200 with my setup. He said that i should maybe look to get a monitor with a resolution of 1680x1050 as it's always best to run games at the monitors native resolution. He also said playing games at lower resolutions on a monitor with a native res of 1900x1200 will look worse than running a game on a monitor with a native res of 1680x1050... is this true ?
He said he's not 100% sure though and he's not exactly a computer genius either so i thought id post here and see what people think.
Iv got about a £200 budget for a monitor. Based on my setup and the games i mentioned should i go with a 1900x1200 screen or get one with a lower resolution ?
Any advice is welcome !
