Forerunner
I own the rig in my sig. And want to upgrade my monitor to 24" from 19" (1366x768).

Want to know if it will suffice to play present and upcoming games at full HD?

PS: Darn low on budget and so will not upgrade anything sooner.
 
Yes, you should be able to do FHD gaming with eye candies off in not so demanding games. But it will give crappy frame rates in some demanding games though like BF3, Crysis 2, etc. Had you got a high end GPU, then your CPU would have bottlenecked it, but not the case here IMO.
 
I am ready to play games without the eye candy. Just that I need it to be smooth and very playable. I have tried on my bravia at fhd and the rig doesn't seem to disappoint even at settings set to high.

Games played bf3 @ ~ 35 - 45 fps settings set to max. Nfs run @ ~ 30 fps. But saints row although very playable gave insanely lower fps of ~ 20 fps at high settings. Weirdly mw3 breezed at ~ 60 fps + with all settings at max.

The reason I had placed this topic in the overclocking thread before was that the rig performs better only after the overclocks mentioned in the sig. So should I oc my 6850 as well since it runs at stock as of now. And easily handles the 19" requirements.

How much difference would it make? And can the new cards handle a constant oc? I had a NVIDIA 9500gt insanely oc'd and a 4850 oc'd 24x7 and boy, they outperformed their stock avatars by quite a margin.
 
I'm on a 24" . Dual Core E5200 @2.5GHZ ,ATi HD4670 1GB. Played C2,BF3,Saints Row 3. Evertything smooth at 1600x900 with settings from low to medium. 30FPS.

& 3GB DDR2 @800MHz
 
I want to play it at FHD. Will may be compromise on the settings. Definitely wont go low.

You don't have to!I have C2D E7500 at 3.40 Ghz and HD5770, and handles all the current games at mixed med-high(with little anti aliasing sometimes) settings and all older engine games(like cod) run maxed out at ofcourse 1080p. And HD6850 outperforms HD5770 by quite a margin.Hope this helps.

Woah!

I had my proccy oc'd to 4.25ghz during the beat the heat competition. And it still ran at 45degrees on stock Intel hsf. Used that to get the 3rd prize. But only benched.

Anyways may be I am lucky with my proccy. You should check workarounds bro. I am sure Intel's can handle a good overclock.

Cool overclocks mate!

I am very surprised that a G31 mobo could handle that much.

Would you mind posting your voltages(ie vcore, nb and memory)? It would help me oc mine, as I can't get it past 3.4Ghz.

Also, does your mobo support changing Vcore?

Have you oc'd any or all of the components?

Yep, my procy is overclocked at 3.4Ghz and gpu oc'ed to 940/1300(had to back down from 945/1405 due to summer where there is 42c ambient in my area!).
 
Believe me mate. I played on HD5770+E2180+2GB DDR2 ram for more than a year on my 23" 1080p lcd. You are better off. Don't worry. you will be able to play.

Regardless of what people tell you, anything less than a 6900 or 7800 or GTX 560 Ti is not good enough for 1080p high/max settings no AA even for most games which have been released after 2009/2010 except some really weak games.

And anything below 50-60 FPS isn't playable. Playing at 40 FPS is like scoring 70% in your boards and being congratulated on doing well because IIT JEE min cut off for Boards is 60%, or was 60%, for instance. It is crap. Right? Same is 40 FPS.
