Hey guys tommorrow i will be picking up my 226BW Samsung 22inch screen and i was wondering how my Video card will handle it.

I've got a 8800gts 320mb . I think the res of the screen is 1680 x 1050 .

PS. Do i have to game on 1680 x 1050 or can i got 1280x1024? Also how will gaming go with 1680 x 1050 and my card?

Thanks in advance

My other PC specs are

Intel C2D E6750

2GB ram 667

VISTA

You could go up till 1900x1600, but not on some new Fps games.

You should be fine, Crysis is the only thing that will probably give you some problems, but that applies to pretty much every card.

i got my 226cw a couple days ago and im still using an x1950pro 512mb card, only thing i really play is cod4 multiplayer, and i still get around 60fps at 1680x1050 resolution

you should keep ur monitor on 60hz, that's what lcd's are designed to run at, any higher and u could damage the screen

your 8800GTS is much better than x1950Pro
