Im looking at either 19,20 or 22inch Widescreen monitors have it limited to a few brands, but I need to know my current gpu can push it at native rez or w/ever without a prob.

I'd suggest you go thumb through Tom's Hardware VGA charts select your card and a few games at different resolutions..see what you think is acceptable for Frames per second numbers and decide.

I know that on my wife's computer, with a comparable nvidia card, when I got her a new LCD with 1280x1024 it was about the top that card could do and still be feasible for playing games (which means a 19" is best).

Otherwise, if you'll be upgrading your card in the near future then go for something bigger and just tone down setting so it can handle the higher resolutions. (Your card can handle any monitor..it's just a matter of playing games as for how hard that high res will be on your card). Check Tom's charts for help there:

Even integrated graphics chips can drive high resolutions, if you're not going to play any games. You didn't give any specifics, so we can't really answer you.

about what they said.
depending on the display some 20s run 1440x900 (same as a 19") and some run 1680x1050 (same as the 22s). Between those two choices, what you play and the settings will determine your fps.

As they said, integrated graphics can drive high resolutions fine if you are playing quake 3. Maybe not so much if you are playing crysis...

yea no new games like crysis I'll play those once I build my 8800 core2duo system, but for now all I play is Cs source and BF2 and Insurgency, just wondering if 1680x1050 causes some lag in game, can i just lower the res and not have it funny looking?

Im already aware of some games like bf2 not being widescreen and theres lil workarounds posted on widescreengaming forums etc...
