Can it handle it?

Hey guys, ive searched around but cant seem to find my specific question. I have a EVGA 9600GT video card and am shopping around for a new monitor. I game once in a while, am waiting for Diablo 3 to come out (so that will definately be played). Well my question is this: can my graphics card handle a 24 inch monitor to game with (and to run a second 19 inch display i have now) or should i go with the 22 inch monitor?

Any suggestions are welcome

Thanks.

Well, I think 9600GT is basicly the same as 8800GT which I have. And it can handle a lot of games in the full res (1920x1200). Of course you can always adjust settings (especially lower shadows, particles, AA) or even switch to a lower resolution. There is no need to stick to 22".

Thanks for the reply, now its just a matter of the cost

The 9600GT is slower than a 8800GT; I would say about 10% slower off the top of my head.

So do you think I would be alright with a 24? or is 22 the way to go in your opinion?

I would say go with the 24inch since sooner or later you will have the need to upgrade your video card and the new one you get will handle the 24.
Future proof.

Well, you tell us how much can you spend

That's also a good point.

Well, I was thinking up to 400 bucks.... I realize that wont get me much in the realm of 24 inchers.
