Getting ready to get a 1680x1050 monitor. I realize my 7800GTX cannot run this resolution in any recent game. Is it possible to run UT3 engine games at 840x525? If not, how about 1440x900?

I'm sure for the former I can crank AA up and be fine.
 
840x525? I think you might have a hard time finding that one on the list.
 
Oh yeah, i'm pretty sure there is one lower than that too.(available on the menu)
 
7800GTX can't run 1680x1050? How recent of games are you talking about. I am using a 7600GT and Oblivion at 1680x1050, which has near maxed out graphics settings, and it runs very smoothly.
 
oh, i thought you were talking about UT3 specifically, your 7800GTX can run any DX9 game almost maxed out at 1680
 
It "runs" UT3 maxed out at 1024x768. I guess I could call it playable. Bump it up to 1280, however, and not so much. I dunno....

Uh, sure. Once you turn on distant land you can kiss your fps bye bye. My 7800GT could barely handle Oblivion on mostly high setting at 1280x1024.
 
on my 6800GT system i ran everything high, 1440x900, bloom, no grass, and i got a very good looking game with playable FPS

Hey man my x1900gt runs ut3 at that rez full settings minimal aa just dandy
 
With the 7600GT I run max distance on all objects, I just turn off things like grass/tree canopy shadows etc. I also use HDR.

I am not lying when I say I have good framerates everywhere. A hiccup every couple of minutes that only last a second or two doesnt bother me. There has only been a few times I really noticed performance things, and they were so short I didn't mind.

The main place I notice slighly lower framerates is when I am in a grassy field that is very large.

Tried lowering some settings?
I'd rather game at lower settings and higher resolution, than maximum settings at VERY low resolution...it's just don't make any sense to me, sorry.
 
I had Oblivion running on my old laptop (ASUS Z71V chassis with Go 6600) at 840x525. Didn't need to add a custom resolution or anything.
 
I am using the 7800GTX @ 1920x1200 with max settings on UT3. Iget 30-35 fps generally. Granted its the demo but you should have no problem running UT3 at 1680x1050 for the retail version.
 
Depending on what type of monitor you got it can just use normal aspect resolutions with a little bit of stretching and you'll be fine.

meh, I guess your 6800 was faster then my 7900GS, because it was medium high at best at 1440x900 and was only smooth indoors.

I

I"m going to need to reinstall the demo on XP. It isn't playable at 1680x1050 with all details low at 515/1300 in Vista.
