    I'm gonna have to go with "not really". I have the same card, and some current games struggle at 1280x1024 (my native lcd res). Oblivion, for example, I have to run at medium settings @ 12x10... :-/

    I'm still using a trusty old x850XT as well. Good card, but it will definitely struggle at 1920x1200 on any modern games. You'll have to disable all eye candy I'm afraid.

    The cards Sledge mentioned are quite good for the price. As is the X1900GT, and the 7900GT (assuming you get some that isn't plagued with problems).
