low huh, have games really moved on that much already lol

You could have bought a new graphics card and gotten those games, solving any performance issue you would have had.

Dual 4870's and a Phenom X4, yeah expect medium-ish settings at 1080p.

Yeah. I suggest you upgrade your graphics card and buy an NVIDIA card (like GTX 650 ti is good enough). If your main purpose is gaming, then go for an NVIDIA graphics card ONLY. AMD cards are good for animation and stuff.

Yeah I too would have just bought a new AMD card and got those games for free and been able to play them at high-ultra settings xD

A HD7950 will get you all those games plus a new card for £200 / ~$300

Care to explain why?

AMD cards are fine for games.

Both companies make cards for gaming.

That said, mutli card is currently smoother for Nvidia users, but single AMD or Nvidia cards are on level ground.

how do I tell what the max ability of my monitor is, I don't think it does hd 0_o

I just got all 3 on ebay less than £20 all up.

something something amd never settle - guess someone was selling the games that came with he card to try and subsidize it.

I'd like some of that stuff you were smoking when posting that ridiculous comment, seriously go troll somewhere else, JEEZ!

but wern, didn't you know that? I thought you were supposed to be an authority/expect on such matters? same as anything with an led on it makes it run better. pcs with blue led's go faster than ones with red leds; cases with apple stickers are 400% more stable than those without. why? because aliens. that's why

Xerox xa7-19i 900p

so what would be the best resolution etc to suit this monitor?

 

[manofchalk]

According to a Google search, its a 1280x1024 monitor, so use that resolution.
