Monitor size VS video card needed

[averagejoe]

Am thinking of going from a 22"wide screen LCD to a 24" wide screen LCD. The native resolution of 1680 X 1050 of the 22" VS the 1920 X1200 of the 24" has me wondering if my video card is capable of driving a 24" monitor. Is their an review any were that talks about what video card you need for different monitor sizes. I have a EVGA 8800gts 320. Play a lot of ETQW and DOOM3. Will the 8800gts 320 be enough for good game play or will the video card need to be upgraded too? I understand that my present video card will not be able to play the games at 1920 X1200 most likely. But what is playable with good frame rates on a 24" screen?

The 8800GTS is more than enough for a 22" monitor....and probably the 1920x1200 of the 24" also as long as you don't insist on maxing out the eyecandy of every game.
