i'm looking into getting a new TFT 19', hopefully an Acer AL1916W but will my Gcard cope ok at a higer res? not sure what the majority of people who have these screens run them at. i'll be using it for gaming and watching DVDs. i have read through the stickys and i'm none the wiser

any pointers would be great

thanks

the res is 1440x900 which is less than 1280x1024 so if the card runs ok a 1280x1024 it should be ok at a lower res ie 1440x900 the default res of the acer al1916w

Ive got 2x6600gt's in SLI, which is roughly equivalent to 1 6800gt, and I can run most games ok at that sort of res. I can play Far Cry at way higher res than that(ive got a dell 2405), Half Life2 runs fine on that res and I can just about run Oblivion at 1024x768, so you might be lucky and run that at native res.

didn't want to play a slide show, maybe i'll just o/c the card to ultra to assist.

Cheers

I got an Acer AL1916W with an AGP 6800XT, unlocked to 5p, and 6v. Its running Half life 2 at 1440x900 with most of the eye candy enabled (no aa, and 2xaf) at 110fps. So welll aboce the 60hertz the monitor can cope with.
