What resolution do you play at?

What resolution do you play games at?

  • Total voters
    630
Looks like there are only 100 people who play at "High" Resolution.

The rest play at "American Idol in HD" resolution,:p
 
Since I can't pick multiple resolutions in the poll, I'll list them here. I play at whatever resolutions that give me 60+ fps in all my games. These resolutions are generally:

2560 x 1440
1920 x 1080
1680 x 1050

In some games, I'll switch resolutions in-game, so that I can run it consistently at 60+ fps.
 
No 1280x1024! Whaaaat...

Ha, your monitor costs more than everything in my entire office room area. Maybe even more than my house (ha, jk)

Does the blurriness from running games at lower than native res on your monitor bug you?
 
7680x1600 or 8100x1600 with bezel correction/compensation.

Hahah, yeah, kind of pricey for a monitor, but it's the only monitor that suits my needs - ips/glossy.

Slightly, but I'm able to look past it, given the fps boost I get. After awhile, I don't even notice it anymore.
 
Mine is 1680X1050. Was gonna get a 24 inch monitor when I can afford to get another one or just another Dell 2209Wa to go with the one I have.
 
One of the main reasons I don't really want to go to high in terms of resolution is vsync. It's tough enough making sure I have the horsepower for it in 1080p, let along some of those super huge resolutions.
You can have a 5000x3000 resolution and 64xAA, but if the screen tears (and I'm not playing some precision game like CS) it'll irritate the hell out of me.
You've got to have some major league video horsepower to game at those large resolutions and keep vsync on...and that doesn't even factor in bezels for multi-monitors. There's something to be said for a lower resolution, but keeping everything looking perfect.
Still, maybe we'll see more TV/Monitor hybrids with higher resolutions and video horsepower is always going to keep advancing.
 
Any chance this could get front-paged? I'd like to see if these current results hold true when it's opened up to people who may not be traditional "Video Card" forum browsers.

Can't you just use the Steam hardware survey?
Meh.

As addressed in my first post:

I've seen a lot of discussion about what resolution people most commonly use to game at, and a lot of people quote the Steam Hardware Survey. I think the [H] community probably isn't best represented by the Steam survey, so I'm curious to see what is most common here, as well as the % of people playing on multi-monitor setups.

The Steam survey is good, but there are a large percentage of Steam users who are not really enthusiasts.
 
Just bought an acer P215H and i play at 1920x1080, with my old dell lcd 15" as a second monitor for programming, or quick web page look.
 
5760 x 1080 + Bezel Correction. 3rd Day on Eyefinity and I'm enjoying it so far, other than it not being natively supported by CoD.
 
1024x768

17" crt

my little 9600gt plays everything i can throw at it. BC2, black ops, GTA4, all run surprisingly well on it.
 
I use two monitors, one @ 1280x1024 and the main one @ 1920x1080. I only game on the main one.
 
1680x1050 all the way for me, no need upgrade to 19x anytime soon but maybe few yrs down the road new technology LED monitor for me.
 
I recently bought my 27" Asus monitor. I wanted 16:9 but they are getting harder and harder to find. Seems like everything is going 1080.

1920x1080 is 16:9. 1920x1200 is 16:10. Just a heads up :)
 
Just got a 25" 1920x1080 widescreen LCD on Black Friday. Coming from a 20" 1600x1200 Dell Ultrasharp it's a huge step backwards in desktop graphics quality. Gaming is another story. Overall it delivers a superior gaming experience and I won't be going back to 4:3.

Comparing a $189 LCD to a Ultrasharp Dell is a bit of a mismatch :p

I love my U2410s.
 
5760x1200/1080 or 1920x1200/1080 depending on game type and which PC I happen to be using.

I would not have expected the eyefinity/surround setups to be more common than the 30" setups.
 
2560x1600: best single-display res. you can get :D and an S-IPS panel to boot. Pure win (Dell 3007wfp-HC), always play at native.

They're cheaper... in general. You can pay $180-220 a panel regular price on an eyefinity of 23"-24" 1080p screens and end up with 6 megapixels of resolution but inferior panel tech and bezels, or $1000+ for a 30" IPS LCD with no bezels and 4.1 megapixels of resolution. With the lower cost of entry and "fad" nature that multi-screen displays have right now, it's not too surprising (though it is a little, I'll admit).
 
poor golden tiger, still holdin strong eh? and my Multi is 19x12 Ultrasharp based so nothing lost here by me :D
