I recently purchased a acer 21.5" monitor 1900x1080 and am looking to get a video card for gaming.
I was told that with this monitor I should play games at the native resolution and now I'm wondering if the gtx 460 768 mb video card is powerful enough for that. I'm also considering a radeon 5850 but I don't know if my computer will bottleneck the gpu speed and I'll be wasting money. The price difference between the 2 cards is about $50-$60
I have
Phenom x2 555 processor
8gb 1333 mhz memory
corsair 500w builder PSU
Windows 7 64 bit
Currently using integrated graphics. I was told that getting a 1gb video card would be necessary for 1080p resolution. I'd like to play Crysis Warhead with the computer.
