8800 GTX pointless for 1280x1024?

Poll for which card to use, if you don't feel like typing

I was reading the marathon article, day 4, and they had written that no one runs at 1280x1024 using an 8800 GTX. I found that a bit strange.. I have the VX922 monitor, and its native res is 1280x1024. I was originally planning on picking up a single GTX card for a system I was planning for August. A bit early, I know. Anyway, I had also considered getting a GTS 320mb, figured that the 640mb performance increase wasn't worth the extra cash. Perhaps later I would buy a second for SLI. I decided against this as a single GTX is less expensive than 2 320s.

I plan on running Crysis and Bioshock at max settings, hopefully. Which setup would you guys lean towards? I'm sure we will need to see some benchmarks of those games to get a good enough idea, but wouldn't mind hearing some speculation. Also, I am a bit worried about SLI fitting in the case I want to get, the Antec P182.

The rest of the system planned, if it helps, is (most likely change as August rolls around):
EVGA 680i A1 board
Core 2 E6600 (have OC experience, so I might do that if it becomes necessary)
Mushkin XP PC8000 2x1GB
2x250GB SATA2 Seagates in Raid 0

Thanks for your opinions

Depends on how future proof or how long u wanna keep it.

Id say a 320GTS will be fine for most games @ 12x10 right now, and should still kick arse for a while. the GTX will DEF last u longer, but for the extra cash... IMHO, a gtx just isnt worth it for 12x10.

Oh i agree again.

personally im using a 8800GTX on a 19" TFT Monitor (1280x1024)

all i know is ive not found 1 game i cant run flawlessly (im a gamer but not a number crunching gamer so dont ask me fps etc) i dont stutter, i dont lose frames.... brilliant card on 1280x1024, plus i have alot of headroom incase i ever find some cash laying around for a bigger monitor.

tis all good, if you can afford the 8800GTX by all means... get the 8800GTX, in my experience its the most expensive graphics card ive bought (£400 when i got it) and it was worth every penny in terms of current DX9 games. (waiting for crysis)

P.s
in my mind theres no such thing as overkill, as long as the card doesnt skip beats im happy! - GTX delivers for me

Well, there is always the option that I would add another 320mb later, if it came down to it. That would just be a bit more expensive than a single GTX.
