large monitor

[veg1992]

A gt can handle a 28 and 22. A 28 is going to have the same resolution as a 24 and 22 the same as a 20. I run a 24/20 setup and my gt had no issues with it.

didn't you also buy another Video Card like a PCI one or something for your big monitor so it doesn't get blasted in games? or was that some1 else

Nah, i run 3 cards so that i can have SLI turned on and run my 2nd monitor at the same time. But right now im just using a single card because this motherboard is a hunk of giant fecal matter and sucks at both using SLI and only has 2 pci-e slots.

you could have an old school 15" CRT monitor and it would handle cod4. A monitor isnt part of a system requirement, the video able to support the monitors naitive resolution and play at it is.

if your talking about that 28lcd @ 1920x1200 then probably no. This is a case were you would need SLI. You would have to turn down your graphics settings considerable to play a newer game at those resolutions. Or just lower your resolution, but that will distort your monitor.

Why get a 28"lcd 1920x1200 resolution monitor? i wanted a big monitor to play games on, but didnt want to go SLI ultras for it to run smoothly, so i went with a 32" 720p LCD tv. You should consider a 27"-30" 720p (1360x768) for gaming if you plan on using a 8800GT because you could run most games on high settings with that monitor/GPU combo.

a single 512gt cant handle a 28inch 1920x1200 monitor? Gah

why do u want to play a game and watch a movie anyway. You going to be doing one or the other. Ur not gona be playing crysis and trying to watch bambi on the other monitor lol. Why go with a 28', either go with another 22 or a 27 to 32 tv.

nope, an ultra would have a hard time keeping up high FPS on a 28" on modern games like Cod4 and crysis
