What Screen Resolution Do You Play Games At?

[skanky]

1. Screen Resolution you play at?
2. Native Resolution of your monitor?
3. Do games run bad/average/perfect?
4. (If you can be bothered) the important specs of your PC?

1 - 1920x1200 if i can, else 1680x1050
2 - 1920x1200
3 - most are alright at native res, but i go down to 1680 and it looks acceptable to me.
4 - c2d e4300 @ 2.7ghz, 2gb ram, 640mb 8800gts, dell 2407wfp are the relevant bits i think

1. 1280x1024 old 19" tft
2. 1280x1024
3. Perfect, don't think any game has ever dropped under 50fps
4. in sig

1) 1280x1024
2) 1280x1024
3) Current gen pretty much perfectly, may struggle with nexgen games (Crysis etc.)
4) Athlon x2 3800, 2gig ram, 8800gts 320mb

Would love to have the monster screen the OP has tho

1. 1024x768 100Hz, 1154x834 100Hz, 1280x960 100Hz, and 1600x1200 85Hz

Ah, at least there's one other person than me that still uses a CRT!

ME too, why would I waste my 8800Ultra on a LCD, they dont look as good yet.

Downside is its big at 22" but same size as other 19" case wise.

Also games like CS:S at 100Hz look sooo smooth, no vsync on tearing to worry about.

I run dual screens - Cheapy 19" TFT for non-games, and 21" CRT for movies and games. Best of both worlds, for now at least.

I'd have 800x600 nice and smooth over 1280x1024 jerky.
