Poll: What Resolution Do You Game At?

[redballoon]

Native res of 1920x1200 but I'll usually drop down for a better fps. 1680 most of the time.

Maximum res of 1280x1024 on my 19" Samsung 930BF

1920 x 1200 here. Not in Crysis tho!

 

[Things change I've changed]

Looks like the 22" 1680x1050 may be coming common place .

I would still say across the board 1280x1024 still pinches it but due to the nature of this forum it's going to attract people with better screens (only becuase we're 'Leet' though ).

1920x1200 for me, I completed Crysis in 1024x768 though, scaling for the win.

playing at 1280x1024 is funny now, it's like there's big patches missing from the sides - very square.

playing Crysis at 1440x900 at the moment - happy with everything on high, 4x AA. Can do 1680x1050 but only really happy with everything on medium, no AA.

+1

but some people drop down their res, i dont

 

[J.D]

Not even got my resolution to pick?. 2048x1536. Great .

I will knock it down until it's playable though, title dependant. So in that case then every resolution from my highest down to 1440x900 at lowest (I don't play Crysis).

I haven't gamed on a PC in a while, was usually 1280x1024, but will be 1600x1200 when i get my new gfx card as i'm wanting to get back into it...
On the subject of widescreen monitors though, why is it that people are wanting these for gaming more and more, i keep seeing "get a widescreen monitor if you're gaming" just not sure what the bonus is over a 4:3, movies makes sense, movies are widescreen. Games aren't though and a lot of the time the same size 4:3 has a higher overal resolution than the 16:9 version.

I'll take my 2560x1024 over the 22" res everytime.

 

[james.miller]

i wouldnt, not for the cost in hardware

 

[Metalface Mark]

1366x768 on my 40" HDTV, it can do 1920x1080 but its too small from 8 feet away.

£40 (£20 per monitor) for 2560x1024 goodness?

For me the advantage of widescreen comes in FPS games, those that support it (most do) you gain extra amount of viewing angle, which for me is very useful. I went for lowest native WS, 19" at 1440*900, easy on fps and allows for more control (as you might be able to tell I'm competitive - don't play games for the graphics). As you say good for movies, also good I found for web browsing - lots of tabs I actually use dual screens, both 19" 1 WS 1 not.

Noticed you're from boro too , whereabouts?

FS9

That's the only time I use 2560x1024 - but given 95% of my gaming time is spent in FS9 - it's worth it.
