Wouldn't the 9600 GT handle a 17" monitor?

Newegg.com - GeForce 9600 GT, GeForce 9 series, Desktop Graphics / Video Cards, Video Cards & Video Devices, Computer Hardware

 

[philbar71]

yes it would. but with only 64sp it does not have much to spare.

 

[jester070993]

seriously? that would be great if a 9600GT could handle it. do you think it can?

 

[philbar71]

would be ok at 1440x920

Easily.. my HD 3850 does it fine.. and I max out Far Cry 2/Oblivion/Halo 2/COD4 [on Ultra High or w/e its called]

 

[philbar71]

my 8500gt could max out oblivion halo 2 cod4 at 1680x1050 but i got about 20-25fps. far cry 2 is easy to max out.

 

[jester070993]

ohh nice so i think i will get that or something similar

8500gt max out oblivion... i dunno about that one.. my 7900gt couldnt do that with 1280x1024...

It CAN max it out at 1600x1000. Whether it gets good frame rates or not...... that can be debated.
