I currently have a 8800GT 512MB video card. Would I be able to run high end games on a 24' monitor or would I have to upgrade? Should I go with a 22' monitor and would games run fine on this? I just got the card last summer so I don't want to upgrade again.
 
I normally play games like Gears of War, Call of Duty, or Fallout. Is there a huge difference is demand on the video card between a 22' and 24' monitor? Which would you go with if you had that card? I would like to run the games at as high a res. as possible.

thanks
 
If you run at 1920 x 1200 and 8x AA and 8x AF then you will watch a slide show, but if you keep those settings down then you should be able too. Check my specs but I can run CoD4 at say 240FPS, but Crysis had to be set to the second highest and Crysis WH was set to Dx9 and second highest it was playable but if a lot of things were flying then it slowed.
 
I have a single EVGA 8800GT SC on a Q6600 Quad stock. I can play GOW on 1920 x 1200 but, as Sparkyy just mentioned, if you enable AA it will really hinder the performance. I leave it off on GOW. Call of Duty I have my settings at 1680 x 1050 with pretty high settings. I tried to run it at 1920 x 1200 but, I can tell it slowed down to where I leave it at 1680 x 1050 res. But, the game looks good though that I don't mind. I like big monitors and if I was you, I still jump on a 24". I would just turn down the resolution and settings. I mean eventually you will want to upgrade you 8800GT card to something that will be able to play most games on a 24" lcd.
