5770 overkilll for meager display?

[bakitmalamig]

Hi, just found out that my display had a max of 1366 x 768. this is on a 18.5 (cheap lcd).

would you say that a HD5770 would be too much for this? would a 5750 suffice?

Not planning on getting a better display unless i was proclaimed king of the world or i win the lottery (which ever comes first)

Thanks for all the help everyone.

A 5750 will let you max out just about everything or atleast play it on highest settings. High AA settings may still pose a problem but detail levels wont. I was able to max stuff out on my 19" at 1280x1024 with my 4850, a 5770 might be a little overkill for an 18.5" but if you ever plan to upgrade to something larger its a good investment.

I love this site, Thanks for the quick reply guys. I'll be ordering a 5750 in a while.

(don't have the cash for upgrading the display in a long while).

A 9600 GT at $80 would more than suffice:
