Thinking of getting a 2005FPW or something to that extent this Christmas. Will my 7800GT be enough or will I have to upgrade? Please help!!

*Note : I'll be playing games like COD2, BF2, etc. :)

The 2005FPW will only go to 1680x1050, if you want 1900x1200 youll need something like the 2405FPW.
 
Hey - the 2005FPW actually tops out at 1680x1050. The 2405FPW runs the resolution you stated.

As for the 7800GT handling 1680x1050 . . . yes, I'd say it'll do a good job. Upping the resolution to 19x12 might throw a few wrenches into the works.

Actually It will do 1920x1080. My GTX gets awesome FPS at that res in most games (probably not FEAR). Your GT should be fine as long as you stay away from 8xaa and such.

Well at 16x10 I doubt I'll really need AA/AF. :D
 
Trust me, you WILL need AF. ;) AA is debatable, but AF is a must. Especially when textures are that big, things tend to look ugly real quick when there's anything less than 16x AF applied... :(

The 2005FPW can do 1920x1080i (30Hz). It's scaled down by the panel to the native resolution of 1680x1050. The native resolution is better, but scaled 1920x1080i is still decent looking for games.

Not that I don't believe you, because I don't, but even if you could, why would you want to?

This reminds me of a thread about a guy who wanted to "overclock" his monitor's refresh rate a whole extra hertz... :rolleyes:

Better for 1080p video. Games look defferent with it too. I dont know if "better" is the right word, but it has a cool effect. I do run most things at native though, 1080p is mainly just for high def movies.

Why not trade em both out for dual 7800gtx 512's? :D

The only reason I could think of would be that you can't actually buy those. Other than that, of course...

Well, if you want to go with that argument, I can't afford another 7800GT in addition to the monitor.
