7600gt @ 1680x1050

[Minicoop503]

So, after buying my 19 inch monitor, the next day the 20 inch version goes on sale

I'm thinking about returning my 19 inch, and getting the 20 inch, but I have a question.

How would my 7600gt handle playing bf2, and other games at 1680x1050 resolution? I'm thinking I would have to turn some things down, but how do you think it would run at mostly high/some medium settings, no AA or dynamic lighting/shadows?

I will eventually upgrade my video card though. Also, could I just turn the resolution down in game, or would that look bad then?

Thanks..

I just got a 20' WS & went from 1024 x 768 to 1600 x 1050 with no performace hit @ all & I have a x800 xt. You should have no problems M8 !

I ended up getting the monitor. I just turned off aa and turned dynamic shadows + light to medium, all the rest high, and it works great. Around 50-60 fps average.

Everytime I read a post by you, you bought a new monitor or are thinking of buying another one. I would not be surprised if you had a stash of fairly recent all great monitors in your basement full of dust because you can't find the return bill.

haha, nah


I returned the 19 inch one, and bought the 20 inch version. I'm done now.

I actually ended up getting the 20 inch for 240. It was originally 280, on sale for 260, and then I had a coupon thing for 20 off, and got it for 240. That's only 10 more than the 19 inch, so I got a pretty good deal :)

strange minicoop that you have a better rig than me and getting only 50-60 my rig gets 50-100+ on a 1400X1050 res :/

Well according to your sig, you have a 7900, which I think is better than a 7600gt. That might be why

I play at 1600x1200 with 2xAA. It's fine. Turning off AA in Vista really liberates the FPS, but it's something I cannot live without.

If your monitor can handle it, go 2048x1536 with no AA.

As for framerates, it depends. You will get the same framerate (roughly) when you run 1600x1200@2xAA as when you run 1280x1024@4xAA.

It won't handle all high, especially dynamic lighting.
