What resolution do you game at?

[Hawk1]

1920x1200 here. Havent played any of the latest games on it though. When I do get a new demanding game, will call for either a new Gfx card or reduced resolution.

 

[theposguy]

1440x900 aspect ratio= 16:10

 

[EviLZeD]

varies depending on game for me 1440 x 900 or 1920 x 1200

 

[yogurt_21]

1680x1050 I'll drop details to keep the res if the game is intesive.

1440X900. its perfect for my set up. i never played on consoles, so i don't understand the "bigger screen" for pc gaming thing. i've sat in front of a 24in b4 and played through some stuff. for where i sit and my field of vision it makes little difference. heck with my 19in i already find myself sitting back a bit or backing away in an intense part of a game. and i used a 22in for a few weeks and saw literally no difference while gaming. movies and things, sure. if just a modest difference. but games, no. not from where i sit behind the keyboard and put my face ---------------->

so 1440X900 is just great by me prolly forever. i might get a 22in or 24in for movies and things and if a game runs good on it, fine. if not, i'll switch over without even noticing i did. i enjoy i can achieve the same framerates / performance as someone with much more expensive hardware simply because i game with a 19in monitor


guess my screen size puts me in the "budget gamer" category


yeah i'll take it

I use 1680x1050 and I like to use alot of AA and AF. Once this monitor goes, I'll deffinitely be looking to upgrade in the resolution department.

Frames Per Second is the ultimate concern for me especially when playing first person games so whilst I do like to run games at my monitors native 1650*1080 resolution, more often than not I find myself downscaling to 1200*800. As everyone knows, running games outwith LCD native resolution does have crappier image sharpness than would be expected otherwise at a specific resolution but like I say for me, super smooth frame rates is everything in gaming......better for your eyes as well.

Welcome to the forum .

[pagalms]

[razaron]

[farlex85]

1680x1050 ftw! Everything maxed right now, some new stuff hopefully will make me turn it down a bit......

 

[mullered07]

mostly 1440x900 although ill drop the res sometimes depending on the game *cough* crysis but not often, also sometimes game on my tv and will crank it up to 1920x1080 if my card can handle the game, but theres not a lot of games it cant throw out a good fps on

 

[Kursah]

1440x900 since that's the highest my Acer 19" will go...which is plenty for me, it's a good middle-ground res where with some AA and high IQ settings, games look great, play smooth and my rig doesn't have to be top dollar or the best parts to get there! I've never been one that needed HD Resolution gaming, I'm sure it will happen in the future...but for now, I'm content with 1280x1024 (4:3) / 1440x900 (16:10) as my primary choices depending on what monitor/rig is being used for gaming at the time.

 

[das müffin mann]

1440x900 the max on my monitor

 

[Squirrely]

1920x1200 mainly. Well, if my gfx card can push that many pixels.

how is a 9850be and 3x 3850's in Xf built around a 19" monitor at 1280x1024? you could easily run most games @ 1920X1200

 

[spud107]

my monitor does 1800x1440, but at the refresh rate hurts there, (60hz/72hz)
1280x1024 @100hz is good though,

 

[xu^]

1650x1080 for me highest monitor will go.

quite happy at this res atm and no plans to change monitor to go higher.

1440x900 Thatz my 19' 16:10 LCD

 

[Jess Stingray]

1280x1024, monitors max.

 

[Apocalypsee]

1280x960 on 17" CRT. Good enough for me, furthermore I don't have to upgrade graphics card often
