9800 GT in 1920x1080 resolution?

I'm upgrading from a 19 inch 1440x900 monitor to a 24 inch 1920x1080 monitor, and still only have a 9800 GT. How well does this card fair in that resolution? I won't be playing Crysis, just games such as Left 4 Dead and Unreal Engine 3 games.

I ran that same card at the same exact resolution before I got my new HD5970 and I could max pretty much any game with AA usually turned off (some games I could do x2 or x4 AA). You should be just fine as long as your other hardware is up to par.

- Forgot to add that I ran 2 monitors with that card and my main monitor was 36 inch and my second monitor was 19 inch running at 1280x800.

You will max out like 99% of games. There will be like 4-5 games which you may have to lower settings for good performance such as Crysis, the new Stalker, and a few others, but they even run fine after a few tweaks.

Like rascoqaz's uncle, I have a 9800 gt and max L4D2 with a 1920x1080 resolution. :)

Get around 50-70 FPS.

You'll be fine with that card for a while considering 8800GTS still holds it's own at this res.

You'd have trouble maxing out newer games - some that come to mind are COD4 series, Dragon Age, Batman, Fallout 3, GRID.

Sweetness, I really can't afford an upgrade right now, so if I can keep this card for maybe a year and a half longer that would really help. I have it OCed a good amount so maybe I'll try to push it a little more.

And the max temp is ever gets to is around 66 C and that's only with Crysis, should I push it further?

I max out fallout 3, grid, batman, cod4, and dragon age on my 9800GT.

If you can buy an after market gpu cooler. My gpu is overclocked and idles at 40-44C and never goes passed 54 at full load even with Crysis. It's usually even cooler, but sicne it's the winter and my room is an inferno due to my heater it's a bit hotter.

Crazy I was actually about to buy a 9800 GT as well and I also have a 1920x1080 monitor. If I ran a Geforce 9800 GT AMD Dual-Core 7550 2.5ghz 4gb ram and played Borderlands at 1920x1080 would it run well? Oh and also it's a low profile version of the card because I'm on a slim line case. But thats all about to change when I get a new case for more air flow.chaoz-king

It's a Sparkle.
Here is the newegg link.

it will struggle at the resolution minimum i would take a stab at that resolution with is a 9800gtx

One last question, do you think upgrading to a HD 5770 would be a good upgrade?

Huh how? The 5770 is extremely limited since it's only 128 bit. The 5770 will probably get just as much performance as a 9800GT with the only difference being dx11 support... There is absolutely no reason to shell out near 200 for the same performance.

I'll second that!

I don't know why people make a big deal about the 5770. It's not really an upgrade (isn't intended to be either) if you have 8800 or stronger card, it's just affordable dx11 support if you so wish. I don't know how many people smashed on my choice to get a 4890 instead, even though it outperforms the 5770. There will be better dx11 options when the time comes for dx11 to become mainstream.
