What resolution do you game at

[buildzoid]

I play on 2560x1080 or 6400x1080 depending how good Eyefinity support the game I'm playing has.

 

[P4-630]

I plan to go up to 1440 within 2 years or less, but right now I am happy with my visuals, and I have a perfectly running monitor.

I'm also happy with my visuals @ 1080p but I will buy a 1440p monitor in May this year, if I can play GTA V with at least 2xMSAA and overall same settings, I think I'll be a happy man.
I'm also really looking forward to the more real estate vs 1080p on the desktop, also it will be a 27" vs now the 21.5" I have...
If my GTX1070 can't run my games 1440p @ steady 60fps vsync at reasonable settings to me, well then I would switch back to 1080p as main monitor, but I think there's no switch needed.

I knew the monitors were since my first Slot 1 Celeron 333, P and I are for NTSC/PAL Tv standards.

Exactly my point. Using "p" to refer to a desktop resolution is nonsense. It's 720x480, 1280x720, 1920x1080, 2560x1440, or 3840x2160.

Its funny 14 years ago Comptia A+ touched on P and I standards for displays

Funny, we used to call certain resolutions as VGA or SVGA back in the day when we could just call them 640x480 and 800x600 ? With 1080p, we all know what it means. We also know the same with 4K. few characters instead of many characters. And we all know what it is exactly. Why complicate things?

I get you but that's pushing a naming pov , people understand it typically refers to the vertical pixel height progressivly scanned.
I've used interlaced for ages at 1080i it was ok on a Sony bravia but I'm glad I moved on and got a 1080 it was awesome initially but I can't praise 4k @28" enough it's very useful from a doing stuff pov and I can't get enough of gtav at 4k all set to ultra I get 45-60 FPS I don't have long shadows on or anything in advanced switched on though because it turns a bit slide showey but honestly your whole pc is there to show you stuff, please make sure you do your best in the monitor dept ,it's often a side thought but a good ones such a joy.

Or you could also use the standard's actual name...
SVGA: 640x480
WXGA: 1280x720/768/800
FHD: 1920x1080
WQHD: 2560x1440
4K: 3840x2160

Rant: Business projectors that use WXGA shall die in a fire already

 

[FireFox]

Any advice on how to OC my Monitor

 

[revin]

4K: 3840x2160

That's not truly 4K but it is UHD
4K is 4096x2160

You should easily be able to. I can run GTA V 1440P at 60FPS smooth with my 770 with some lowered settings and low AA and medium texture. It doesn't look like shit either. You'd be surprised. The jump from 1080 to 1440 isn't that big a deal anymore in requirements. Just turn down the AA. its a 2 year old game, just see how easily these older graphics cards ran it and consider you are running a 1070 which is 10% faster than the Titan X.

1080P for normal gaming or 5760x1080 when simracing.

My monitor's resolution is 1440 X 900 @60Hz, what's that called?

 

[TheoneandonlyMrK]

To my mind other
Statistically not worth an edit in reality.

 

[toilet pepper]

1080p @96hz on games and 120hz on desktop. My eyes cant tell the difference anything above 96hz and I use dsr if I'm still capping 96hz.

1440p @60Hz

 

[FordGT90Concept]

We also know the same with 4K.

Therein lies another problem. "4K" is considered a class of displays rather than a specific resolution. ATSC 3.0 is likely to define "2160p" which will become the defecto standard for 4K. Reason: because scaling with the other 16:9 resolutions is cheap and easy.


I never used the VESA names for resolutions. To complicated to remember.


Reason why I rasied the point is because the poll has "1200p" and "1600p" as options. Those aren't even things.

 

[X828]

1440p @ 144hz

My fps jumps around depending on the game but it never dips below 60fps with my newly purchased GTX1080. All settings on Ultra where available. G-Sync enabled.

 

[qubit]

Aspect Ratio 5:4. Resolution 1280*1024 75Hz. 16 years old LCD.

That's all that will fit on my desk.

There's always one weird one.

And the qubit approvez.

 

[FordGT90Concept]

That resolution is still pretty common on cheaper 13-15" laptops. The aspect ratio fits the laptop base better.

It works fine, games are smooth.

I go against the grain lol

 

[Totally]

1200p, thought there would be more people (%-wise) at this resolution, this is going to be it for me until a no compromise 1440/4k monitor shows up, I've only seen one so far but it costs about the same as a brand new entry level motorcycle or small car.

Are you trolling my poll , shits not perfect but it's a loose poll yo.
No prizes no badges no excel spreadsheet even just a look

1440P @ 165hz

By itself #p is meaningless and is used in conjunction with aspect ratio to express a screen's resolution. The reason it works by itself tv displays is because those are strictly 16:9 ratio displays hence the problem with 4k being used as a blanket term.
