That resolution? A 4870 would be more than good enough. You might want to check the titles of the games you play, because a GTX260 would also be a great choice (along with the 9800 GX2). To be honest, at 1680*1050 a 4850 is already more than good enough (plus it's $100 cheaper).

Either one, 1680 x 1050 isn't even blu-ray quality.

For 22 inch monitor, at 1680 X 1050, 1 X 4850 will perform great and is good value too (performance/$$). 4870 is great if you have money to burn. 4870X2 is too much $$ for very little gain.

how long are you keeping this card and what quality settings do you like to use. i would like to remind everyone that over time games get more intensive and what is good now, get slow quickly.

Actually I came upon this benchmark here: http://www.pcgameshardware.com/aid [...] w/?page=2. In this the card's fps are shown, not good at even 1028 x 1024.
