Poll: What Resolution Do You Usually Play Games at?

[AGodspeed]

^^^^^

EDIT: Obviously it depends on the game, so just vote for the average resolution you play at. If you play at 1024x768 in 9 out of the 10 games you regularly play, then you would vote for 1024x768.

 

[AGodspeed]

Bump because the poll system here sucks.

 

[yerkel]

Bump because he did it, and I don't want to be non-conformist.

 

[murphy55d]

I voted for 1024 but it depends on the game. As high as possible, I suppose.

 

[TallBill]

1280x1024

edit - if possible

 

[Rallispec]

usually 1024... depends on the game though

 

[pulse8]

Usually 1280x960 if the game supports it.

If not, then 1280x1024.

 

[kendogg]

I tried running at 1280x1024 .. my 17" sony doesnt refresh fast enough .. its not comforting to my eyes... therfore 1024 for me

 

[Foundation]

1024x768 baby

 

[Migroo]

Well, I run it as high as possible while maintaining complete smoothness. That normally means 800x600...

 

[Parrotheader]

Even on a good 17" monitor like the ones I have at work I don't see any real benefit to anything over 1024x. The detail is a little finer if you stop to take a look, but I don't play any games that allow me that kind of time.

 

[Koing]

1024x768 for most games

UT I play at 1280x1024.......

Usually like others as high as I can go with all eye candy on........

I play at 1024x768. For some reason, if I kick it up to 1280x960, the graphics don't seem that much better. Maybe my 17" monitor sux
At 1280x960, I do notice more frame skippage than at 1024x768 though.

1024x768 on my 19 incher!

 

[Jeff7]

I play Half-Life/Counter-Strike at 800x600@32bit, 4xFSAA - OpenGL
D3D games - 1280x1024, no FSAA. Giants and Cataclysm just look better without FSAA - the text looks like crap with AA enabled.

 

[vash]

For most games, I play at 1152x864. For games that are really intense on my system, 1024x768 (Quake3 usually).

I play at 800 x 600 for FPS games, and I play Anarchy Online ( MMORPG ) at 1024 x 768. The reason why is because you need a lot of space for windows and inventory and stuff in RPGs, and in an RPG enjoying the scenery is one of the best parts. Of course, I suck at most FPS I play cause I enjoy the environment in Counter-Strike also.

 

[Blayze]

640x480 when I even play a game

why?


My old Voodoo 3 sucks!

 

[Amused]

I'd say it's mostly 1280x960. Higher usually if the game will allow.

 

[aphex]

1024x768

 

[jjones]

depends on the game but usually 1024 x 768.

 

[CromNogger]

640x480 on more demanding games, 1024 *average* although not on games that will be coming out.. I want completely smooth...

 

[BCYL]

Hey add another entry into the poll! I play games at 1152x864 if the game supports it...

If not, then I play at 1024x768... my monitor only refreshes at 60Hz at 1280x1024 so I cant play at that res...

 

[mdennison]

I play every game at 1024x768 except, nfs4-1600*1200 and icewind dale-800*600

 

[Imported]

If it supports 1280x960, I use that.. otherwise 1280x1024 with the exception of Quake2, which I run at 1600x1200.
