I have a tv that supports 1080i, and a monitor that is wsxvga or 1680x1050. Now that I am building a new computer, i want a graphics card that can support both resolutions. I was going to go for an overclocked xfx 8800gts 320mb. However, i am not sure if that card will be enough to play games/watch movies on my tv as well as my monitor. What card will be powerful enough to handle 1080i with a monitor? thanks

cards i am considering.

go for the 640 if you can afford to, the 320 will be limited at that resolution as well as with some latest games texture wise

Both would work for movie's, as for playing games it depends on the rest of your rig. If your computer isn't a old clunker then gaming on the 640 would be fine but I'm not sure about the 320 with upcoming games. Imo if you have the money go for a gtx but if you don't then both of those should do fine for now.

I am building quite a rig so that wont be a problem at all. q6600 w/G0, 2x500gb hds, p-35 mb, liquid cooling, 2x1gb 800 memory. I just dont know how much gaming i am going to be doing on it in the next 6 months. i have a 360 which is good enough for now. part of me wants to hold off on a gtx and wait to see the new cards that will come out in the next year maybe a nvidia 9800?!?!?!. But on the other hand, i may see the new games that come out around Christmas and regret getting the 320.
