Can the GTX 280 game at 1920x1200 by itself, i dont want to get the Radeon 4870x2 because it costs a fair amount more and i dont have that kind of bank. So yeah if you guys could point me in the right direction that'd be awesome
 
The GTX280 is a great choice for 1920x1200 gaming. Save your change and head over to tigerdirect for their BFG oc for around $390 after rebates.
 
The GTX 280 is fine at 1920*1200.:)
Although, I am not sure if I will be able to endure the hissing noise generated by this video card...:(
 
I've seen a lot of reviews that answer exactly your question.
 
...I game at 1920x1200 with a 8800 ultra currently, I am also looking to upgrade for the games coming out over the next few months, NOT the games I play now...The only game that gave me any noticeable slow down was Crysis...I could not max everything in Oblivion but almost...I am playing Assassin's Creed, GRID, The Witcher, and GRAW 2 now...don't really have any issues...my point is that with a 280 or an x2 you will have no problems at all...then when your card gets a bit long in the tooth in a year or two just add a second one...they will be allot cheaper by then as well. Heck, if I had a motherboard that did SLI I could drop in another 8800 Ultra and have the performance of a 280 for under 200$
 
I'm using an 8800GTS 320 for 1920x1200 atm. It handles itself just fine in most games considering the small vRAM, so I'd imagine the 280 is perfect, what with more than twice as much RAM and just being a much faster card in general anyway.
 
I went from a GTS 320MB to a 512MB to a GTX 260 896MB and each time i significantly increased in FPS due to having more memory and better GPUs.
 
I play cod4 with everything maxed at same res. I dont lag at all anywhere in the game. Smoke, lots of people, its all smooth.
 
I am using a 8800GTS 640MB and gaming at 1920x1280. Runs good for all games.
 
I think what we need to focus on here is gaming over the next few months, not now..Fallout 3, Crysis Warhead, Far Cry 2, Clear Sky, whatever else I cant think of now...I would love to think my 8800 Ultra will keep kicking ass, but like any aging champion, the last few bouts can be hard to watch. Time for next gen coming soon my friends.
