If i have a high end video card like an ATI Radeon 5870 but my LCD monitor is not that good which has only the screen resolutions of 1400X900Do you think if i play some hardcore games like Modern Warfare2. it could run at the highest maximum resolutions although i have a shitty LCD Monitor?Or should i buy a better monitor?
LCD monitors have something called a native resolution, which is the resolution that it was designed to use. if you force the monitor to run at a higher resolution you can do damage to the monitor. Most monitors have safeguards though, I have a higher end Nvidia card, but I cant put the resolution over 1280x1024 because thats my monitors native resolution and software restricts me from going over it.
Modern Warfare2 should run exceptionally well at the resolution with that card. Actually every game out should run exceptionally well. I assume you have a 19 or 20 monitor. I wouldn't force the monitor to play beyond the maximum resolution though, as all you would see is monitor can't display message.
