1280x1024 (native resolution of my 192t)
32bpp

For the rest I play around with them a lot. Usually vsync is off and I run 6x aa and 16x af. Though a lot of the time I just use application preference.

so VIAN, when you come accross a game that gives you low framerates at those settings i take it you either just suffer though it or don't play it?

personaly, i play games at the highest settings i can manage while still maintaining acceptable framerate. i don't stick to one resolution. also, unlike you, i appreciate good image quality so i tend to keep things like vsync, aa, and af all on when possable.

I like things that work for all games, so that I don't have to change it. I also like really high fps, but at an acceptable level of image quality - Clearness and crispiness, not blurriness. I do like high Image quality, but I can't stand low res., the scan lines, hurt my eyes. So, I would rather have high res, and AA off and AF off. Leaving these off makes my card last a whole lot longer and I can bump up the settings inside the game. Optimal res on my monitor is at 1280x1024. Res is one of the last things to lower, when I need performance.

sure i understand that you, like many people, prefer high resolution to aa and af or ingame settings. but, with your 5900 you should be able to get away with both in many games even with the in game settings cranked and if you really aprecated high image quality you would take the time to turn them on when your preformace alows for it. leaveing them off in such cases doesn't extend the life of your card any, it just robs you of the high quality image your hardware is cappable of. also, assumeing your monitor is a standard crt then 1280x1024 is not your optimal resoltion as the resolution has a 5:4 aspect ratio and standard crts are 4:3; at 1280x1024 everything gets *streached* horizonally to fit your screen, another blemish on the image quality.

*edit: said sqaushed, ment streached.
