In regards to a 8800GTS 320mb, what is considered high res?

I know with the higher resolution you go, the more the 320mb of available vRAM will effect your performance, but my question is, what exactly is considered a high or too high resolution for this card? How does it handle 1680x1050? 1920x1200?


Thanks.

I would like to add that it also depends on the game. In a game that is pretty light ont he GPU overall you will be able to achieve a higher resolution much easier. If you have an LCD I would definitely run every game at the native resolution and sacrifice other graphics settings first. So i guess I would advise you make your decision based ont he native res of your screen. BTW are you buying a monitor or a video card, it sounds like you could be looking for one of the two?

I'm in the process of building a new PC in which I will also be upgrading my monitor. I'll most likely be purchasing a 22' LCD so I will be running a native resolution of 1680x1050; which is why I was curious about the 8800gts 320mb's performance at that size.

Thanks for the link to the benchmarks, checking that out right now.

At 1440x900, you will be totally safe. In any game at any settings.
Problem is that you cant go larger than 19"/20" at that resolution (are there 20" 1440x900 monitors to begin with?), otherwise it would look damn awful.
