    8800gt 512mb and 22" widescreen

    Would XFXs Alpha Dog Extreme Edition of the 8800gt be poweful enough to run graphics good and smoothly on a 22" widescreen?

    I'm using a clocked 320MB GTS and I do ok. Eve runs at full, so does medieval 2. A few things like Company of heroes: OF(DX10 version), crysis and a couple of other usual suspects, need their settings dropped a bit lower, but runs fine and it's not low enough to have any huge effect on the game. If you get a screen with good scaling you can run at lower resolutions anyway. Dell's do this rather well.

    The GT should be a pinch faster and has more memory so you should be ok.

    Re: 8800gt 512mb and 22" widescreen

    I pretty well can run most anything maxed at my 22" monitor's native resolution of 1680x1050 with my GeForce 8800GT without problems (Crysis and a heavily-modded Oblivion being the only exceptions I've had yet).

    Re: 8800gt 512mb and 22" widescreen

    A 8800GT 512MB OC runs games fine on my 24" so certainly a 22" will be fine

    Happy gaming! (except Crysis LOL)
