Well I am looking at getting a 19inch LCD for a rig I am building, is there a big hit from 128x1024 to 1440x990 in terms of FPS? The widescreen monitors at 19inch have the latter resolution.

Also this is the system it would be on:
evga 650i Ultra
e4300 @ 3.0ghz
G. Skill 2GB DDR2 800mhz @ 930mhz
evga 8800GTS640MB 620/1900
Aero Cool 620 Watt
 
not with that 640MB of VRAM you got there. hell you could rest comfortably with 8-16X AA on most games
 
1280x1024 = 1310720 pixels
1440x990 = 1425600 pixels

There's not much in it, 1.31 MegaPixel vs 1.42 MegaPixel

The 8800 GTS 640Mb is a powerful card, you wont see much of an FPS hit between these resolutions at all, in fact the 640 can probably comfortably power 1680x1050 which is the next widescreen res up (what I'm running)
 
Yeah I actually used to have a GTS on a Dell 2005WFP, it ran very well but I decided to get a GTX at the time instead

but ok thats good, I figured it wouldn't be a big hit (if at all)

thanks guys! Widescreen monitors own!

It's actually 1440x900 = 1296000. But more shit is rendered in widescreen. Even still he is fine way beyond that, hell my card is perfectly fine, and I only have a 256MB 1950xt. So don't worry about it OP. and at that resolution your card can breeze with a nice amount of AA and AF to boot.
