1360x1024 for most stuff, as that is what is optimal for my CRT.

1600x1200 if I wanna game with allot of detail

2048x1563 if I wanna make my GPU scream

1024x768 for very GFX demanding games



Opteron 64 165--1.5GB DDR--ECS KA1 MVP(thanks HL!)--x1800GTO 256MB--Seagate 320GB SATA--Antec 550 Watt--Antec P180

ditto... same here on my 19" widescreen LCD
the 3DMark tests run at 1280x800 and it is a bit skewed







Thanks HL and Corsair!
