At what display resolution will a game start to use more of the video card then the cpu?
I game at 1280x768 on a 17inch monitor and I am thinking of upgrading to a 22inch WS lcd.I currently have an 8800gt,will this be enough at this res or will I need a higher card like a 8800gts,9800gtx.
I will be playing bioshock,cod4,crysis and lost planet.I am happy with my framerate now but I am unhappy with the monitor size,I can buy the new monitor sometime between the 18th and the 1st.I know with a bigger monitor I will need more video card power.I can sell my 8800gt for $100 and add $100 so I will have $200 for a new card if I need to upgrade which I think I will since sometimes I have some pretty good dips in cod4.
What do you suggest for best bang for buck monitor?I will do is game and web surf but I dont want a junk monitor neither do I want a uber expensive one if a cheaper one will do my good.I would like to stay under $300 the lower the better.I have a local best buy and a local CC but if I need to order online I will but local would be better incase I need to exchange.
Thanks for all the help total budget will be $500 the lower the better but I want good performance.A dual slot card to help with cooling
