    Using a 256mb 8600mGT DDR3 GPU.

    How much performace do I lose playing at 1440x900 compared to 1200x800 native?

    Also anybody tried overclocking their DDR3 version of the card what are you settings mhz wise??

    there is enough RAM to handle the increase in resolution...
    Difference will be minimal so I would go with the 1440x900 if I were you.

    Depends on the game...something like Crysis will probably see the FPS drop significantly, while it may hardly effect other games at all.
