I haven't checked the specs on the monitor he had in mind but sure you have a point there. Thing is the majority of non hardcore gamers rarely goes above 12x10, if that.

On a sidenote,
It's the same people that often criticizes SLI setups cause they don't see an improvement. I've seen plenty of SLI machines running 12x10 or even 10x76.

i run all my games at 1280x1024 atm.. but when my 2nd card arrives ill put it up to 1600x 1200 or higher ( combat flight sim

)
but, you really see the difference on SLI when in higher resolutions?

Yes, SLI really shines in high res gaming. My point was mainly that many people tend to spend all their money on a sweet SLI configuration, then they cannot afford anything but a crappy low res capable monitor instead. hehe

Well at least they get their desired benchmark results... haha
