    For a single GO 7950GTX 512MB DDR3, what would be the ideal display type for gaming?

    I don't think you'd want to be playing at WUXGA with the Go 7950GTX. In my opinion, take the extra framerates and boost up the AA and effects. Play at WSXGA+.

    For a single 7950GTX, WSXGA+ is about the max I would go for gaming. I would only consider WUXGA in an SLI setup, but even then I'd probably stick with WSXGA+ and enable more eye-candy.

    Quite honestly I wouldn't play at WUXGA unless I had either a desktop 8800GTS (640 MB only, 320 MB won't handle WUXGA), 8800GTX, or ATI equivalent.
