I've got a bit of spare cash just now so I thought I would upgrade my monitor and graphics card.
My system is currently a p4 @ 3.8 ghz with 2 gig of ddr2. my PCI-e 6800 ultra is beginning to gasp at a few of the games I'm playing so the time has come to splash the cash.
I'm looking at a EVGA 7950GT KO SUPERCLOCKED 512MB PCI-E for the graphics which should do me for a while but I'm confused by monitors. I quite fancy the HP LP2065 which is 20.1" and goes all the way up to 1600 x 1200.
Basically, is there any real point in getting a monitor that goes all the way up there? would I be better off just getting something with a lower res. I don't want to get it coupled up to this card and discover the framerates at that res suck. The info for the HP says it has full screen support for other resolutions but I've heard there are sharpness probs running at anything other than the native one. Does anyone have any experience of this monitor? Failing that, does anyone have any other recomendations?
God, I'm so out of touch with technology it's embaressing.
