greater then or equal to 1200 pixels vertical. So that's 1600x1200 and up.
1680x1050 is not, since it has stupid low vertical resolution
i use 16x10
its still high enough where i get the high resolution but i dont have to shell out as much for hardware to run it unlike the 19x12 resolution for most games; plus you get to max out almost everything if you run a lower resolution. of course with todays tech and current game engines that are basically going as powerful as the consoles can push it then 19x12 you can easily turn everything up.
Anything equal to or higher than 1920x1200.
1920x1080 on my 37' Westy..Thought about going higher but I would have to go down in screen size..
1920x1200 & above
1080p and up is high-resolution gaming, in my opinion.
1920x1200 as well. Had 1680x1050 for 2 1/2 years, then finally moved on.
Any resolution capable of 1080p. The amount of 19x12 monitors and 1080p TVs makes 1080p a "minimum" amount for truly high resolution gaming. Any hardware solution for the segment must be at least capable of upscaling to 1080p (PS3).
But the top end market for VGAs is truly oriented towards 2560x1600, hence the market demand for 4870X2s and 280s when the 4850 is so much cheaper. I would never get a 4870X2 without my 30" or plans to buy one in the near future
To me "high resolution" depends on the size of the display. Right now I game at 2304x1440 on a 24" display. I consider that a "high resolution" for a 24" display, but I wouldn't consider that a "high resolution" on a 30" display.
Are there any 24" displays that do 2560x1600? That's what I would like when my FW900 dies.
Anything above 800x600.
I'm old school.
high resolution for me is 19x12. I used to think that 16x10 was high but it doesn't really tax hardware too much (which is why its such a popular resolution).
where do you stand?
+ 1 to all of these: 1080P to 1920x1200 and above.
Anything about 1280x1024, I normally use 1280x1024 simply because it provides good fps but still great quality. It just seems overkill to go any higher than that =o
I would say in general 1920x1200 is "high resolution gaming" but pixel pitch is a pretty big factor. I use a 27" and it is probably the cap of what is tolerable pixel pitch wise, I doubt I could handle 1920x1200 at 30" and up. At that point it would feel very "low res". Pretty soon though I wouldn't be surprised it 2560x1600 become more normal. We easily have the hardware for the resolution now, and the displays are getting much better.
No offense but this just seems like an E-Peen thread; as in, state the native res of your display, then pat yourself on the back by stating that you dont consider anything less than that to be High resolution gaming
Realistically I think it would be pretty hard to say that 1680x1050 doesnt qualify. AA obviously comes into play as well.
1680x1050 on a 17" laptop screen maybe. 1920x1200 and up seems high res to me as far as desktop/tv display. Stating that I have a 30" dell with a 4870x2 has nothing to do with my penis, I was merely stating what is "high-res" gaming for ME, as in what I play on. Maybe I was mistaken on the question by the OP, sorry.
lol, i don't think gotnorice's comments were directed at you ken, but the thread in general.
high resolution gaming? anything more than the one on my old gameboy.
just to change the idea on this thread.. HD at first was considered (in the video world) to be 720p or 1280x720 resolution
That is still considered high definition...
now in my opinion (coming from a dell 2560x1600 30 incher and a 32 inch 1080p sony.). that is high resolution gaming... but i wouldn't toss out somebody using a 720p capable monitor/TV to not be high resolution gaming.. anything above 480p should be considered gaming with a high resolution display
