What should I Buy? 2405, 2005, ...

The only downside of the 2405, aside from price, is that running games at its native resolution would probably require a quad-SLi rig for the latest games.

I have the 2005, and I'm extremely happy with it. Now, I just have to hope Oblivion supports 1680x1050...

I know it's OLD, but Quake2 in 1900x1200 is amazing..

Haha, one of the first things I did with my 2005FPW (before I got my new computer) was to play Quake II in 1680x1050, and I was shocked how good it looked. Sure, the models and textures are dated, but it was just so sharp it looked great.

Lame - most games are not truly wide screen

Far Cry doesn't support widescreen? You sure about that? 1680x1050 is what I run it in, and it doesn't look stretched out at all.

WoW, Star Wars Battlefront II, Half Life 2, F.E.A.R. (w/ hack, looks freaking unbelievable), and Age of Empires III all support true widescreen 1680x1050 ...

Wow, 7800gtx and 2405fpw

Man, I'm so glad I stumbled on this thread.

I've had the same exact problem with the 7800GTX and the Dell 2005FPW. I posted about it, but was told I probably had an inadequate power supply (I don't, it's fine, but I couldn't figure out the problem).

The funny thing is that I suspected the ...
