800x600.

It's weird, I'm just drawn to that Res.
Even when I clocked my CPU to 1Ghz (I have a Radeon 7500), I would play in 800x600, even though I was getting scored of close to 100FPS (Quake3)

I dunno I'm just weird that way.

Where's 1152x864? :confused: And 1280x1024 should be x960, unless you like looking at a stretched image.

I always play at 1600 x 1200 @85hz with all eye candy on. When newer games come out that I have trouble running that resolution with, I'll get a GF3. Visual quality is #1 with me... :)

Just got done playing some AVP2 @ 1600 x 1200....great game!! :)

I have a POS video card so 1024 16bit but sometimes l'll go "widescreen" with. like 1280x480, same workload for the card though.

I go 1600x1200 for any game that can support it, but in other cases the highest setting available.

insane3d, i lub j00!

never thought about doing 1600x1200. always just kept it at 1024x768. even with the new rig i just used my old resolution, never thought anything of it till i saw your post.

oh...my...gosh...

i never knew games could look this good. it's a complete step up from 1024x768, really puts those new consoles to shame.

1600x1200x32, 75hz (21" viewsonic is rated for 77hz, dont wanna push it), quincunux (sp?), all options on, gaming bliss :)

just cranked the fsb up 3 more mhz and going to stress it. then bump it up a few more until i find it's spot. then on to the video card :D

thanks again, i never had even thought about going higher than 1024x768. it just looks incredible. even my desktop is 1600x1200 now.

i run UT at 1280x1024x16.

i'm "testing" out aliens vs predator 2 and best i can do is 1024x768 without getting choppy effect. i guess its time to upgrade my video card. damn me if i run a pc game no less than 1280x1024. i think it'd be too weird to have any resolution lower than that on a 19" monitor.
