Poll: What resolution do you game at?

[coupe69]

As thread title, would be interesting to see what monitor resolution the OcUK community games at. I'm betting there's not many of us left on 1024x768 or even 1280x1024 for that matter

1920x1200

As an enthusiast forum I can see this poll being very one sided

Yeah more than likely, will be interesting to compare to Steam stats.

Poll added.

1920x1080

Cheers Thundy, most appreciated

More at 1920x1200 than I imagined.

Yeah, although unsurprisingly it's looking like 1080p is running away with it.

Looks like a resounding win for the 1080p crowd

Did you expect anything else?

Not really no, but I think a few people were still under the impression that a lot of us were still using CRTs and/or still on 4:3 aspect ratio monitors. For example this guy here;

I said most, not all. Even now 1280x1024 is more popular than 1080p let alone 1440p. Most people just use the monitor their PC came with for gaming. Before Crysis was released I bought a 1440x900 monitor and my mates thought I was crazy investing in a, "widescreen" monitor as no games supported them. They all had 1024x768 or 1280x1024 for their "gaming" rigs. As Ch3m1c4L states 1440p is very niche right now, I would add that in 2007 1920x1080 was also niche. A mainstream gaming rig running 1024x768 with a 9800GT was lucky getting mid 20s FPS in Crysis at medium settings when it was released. A HD 6950 or GTX 560ti would murder Crysis on high at that resolution, easily reaching 60 FPS.

It will be a few years before we get to the stage where top end GPUs run all games at 60 FPS with ultra high graphics settings at 1440p.

I was intrigued to find out exactly what proportion of the OcUK community were still running older, lower resolution monitors.

Annoyingly
