Haven't had the time to play much video games in the last couple years and have not kept up at all with whats good as far as components and all the latest and greatest stuff. Anyway, now I've got a a good job with steady hours and my own place and plenty of extra time and I've wanted to get back into raiding.
My computer is a little old but pretty solid, it runs WoW fine.
i7 - 920
ASUS p6tse Motherboard
6gigs DDR3
Radeon HD 5770
The thing I really want to upgrade is the monitor, I've still got a crappy lcd from my preivous computer and it looks terrible.
I'm really interested in these 21:9 monitors but I don't know what it would take to run one. According to AMD my card will go up to 2560x1600 and the monitor I would get would run at 2560x1080 but I don't know if it would play games(Mostly WoW) at that resolution. Am I going to need a new graphics card to do it? If so any recommendations on what to get. I don't want to spend more than about 300 on the card, if it would be more than that I'll probably just get a normal monitor.
Any other things I should consider?
I would appreciate any advice.
Thanks.
TL;DR Would I need a new graphics card to play WoW on a 21:9 monitor?
