    If you have read my previous posts, I keep switching resolutions because I don't know which one looks best.
    1 minute I prefer one res the next minute I chose something else.

    I notice that practically everyone refer to their monitor.
    I tend to use 1024x768 because that seems to be the sweet spot for my graphics card!

    I use 1024x768 for FPS mostly. I'm quite sensitive to FPS and while my Radeon 9800 Pro can do 1280x960, I can't stand the dips you sometimes suffer. 1024x768 is far smoother and is my res of choice.

    Play at 1024, perhaps out of habit from V5 on older games, but it suits me well enough.
    Besides, I doubt my 9700pro and barton 2500+ has enough power to play with all the candy at higher resolutions...

    Always 4xAA+8xQAF and max details.

    Resolutions are in order (if I get slow fps I lower the rez):

    1920x1200
    |
    1600x1024
    |
    1280x768

    Last one debuted with Far Cry... ;)

    1280x768. Native resolution of my widescreen LCD. And sometimes I use a second monitor, CRT. 1024x768 there.

    I'm not answering the poll either until 1280x1024 is added as that is the resolution I like to game in. :evil:

    I doubt that'll happen. IIRC you cannot edit phpBB polls. I can't at a board I admin at, at the very least. Edit: Typo fix.

    Im amazed at all the people using 1024x768. I dont think Ive used that for a game in a few years.

    Why? 800x600 is better until I change my mind again.

    I vote people use the resolutions which I do.
