I have a 19" CRT now that I mostly run games at 1280 X 1024. But I've been eyeing a nice big 24"-26" LCD with a 1920 X 1080 resolution. I'm just wondering if my current setup will be too slow for the games I usually play if I make that jump. I mostly play games like Lord of the Rings Online, D&D Online, Oblivion, Flight Simulator X, Company of Heroes, and Guild Wars. Here's my key components now:
GeForce GTX 260 Core 216
Core2 Duo E8400 @ 3.6GHz
8GB DDR2-800MHz
XFX nForce 780i mobo (3-way SLI)
So would a second GTX 260 Core 216 be worth it? I think they are around $150 after rebate on Newegg. Or should I just upgrade to a faster single-card solution? Or should I just get the monitor first and see what kind of frame rate hit I'm going to take at high resolution?
