You might struggle a little @ 1900x1080 in crysis 2 with a single gtx 460. What do you have for a psu and motherboard? The 460 should handle 1680x1050, but I'm having a hard time recommending a new monitor with less than full HD resolution.

I have 600 watt coolermaster psu and a msi am3 880gm-e41 motherboard.Also i am getting at 1280 x 1024 at crysis 2 dx9 ultra settings 44fps but at dx11 extreme settings i get 60-70 fps.Is there a big diffrence at dx9 or shoud i keep it at dx11.

What operating system are you using? There is a big difference between DX9 and full DX 11 effects and lighting. With the 1280 res you'll be fine, at 1900, you might need to turn some stuff down.

Personally I would get the 1900x monitor and try out your card, then act if need be.

Hey,

I got GTX 460 PNY Overclocked (and manually overclocked with MSI Burner to 820 Mhz and 2200 Mhz memory) running with 4GB 1333 RAM, and an overclocked E8400 (3.4 Ghz).

I am playing at 1920 resolution on a 42" flatscreen, and games like Crysis 2 (apparently more optimised), Dragon Age 2 (with HD textures), and alike at Very High to Extreme graphics settings.

The card is a joy in comparison to the HD 3870, I had.

Are you running the high res DX11 textures in crysis 2?
