I have an 8800gts 320mb, and I was wondering what resolution it could go to without experiencing drops in fps. I might be getting a new monitor, and I don't plan to upgrade my video card for a while, so I don't want to get too good of a monitor and not be able to play at it's maximum resolution.

My Comp:

Intel Core 2 Duo E6600

Nvidia 8800gts 320mb

G.Skill 2 GB Ram

600W PSU

The drop in frames will start at around 1680x1050, and become very noticeable at 1900x1200.

Umm hate to break it to you, but virtually all games experience FPS drops. No game will give you a constant framerate, it's always fluctuating. I think your intended question was "What resolution should I use to get the best framerate and image quality?"

So far, the 8800GTS 320MB can handle every game at 1600x1200 max settings.

Ah, I thought he was wondering at what resolution does there start a noticeable difference between the 320/640MB verison of the GTS.
