This is just kind of a basic question, but I'm curious none-the-less
I'm thinking about upgrading my Acer monitor to a Samsung 21.5" HD monitor and make use of the HDMI or DVI port on my video card (a PNY NVidia GeForce GTX 650) and use the 1920x1080 resolution. I'm just wondering if this is going to impact the performance of my games? So far this little card, though while a little dated now has performed admirably, allowing me to play multiple games at high or maxed out settings while using my Acers 1366x768 resolution. I am thinking about upgrading to a GXT 660i, and they are currently on sale for $250 plus a free copy of Metro: Last Light so would it be better to update my video card and then get a new monitor, or will my current video card still handle the higher resolution of the new monitor?
