1600x1200 res in ps?

[thegame109]

It's funny how i have a radeon 9700 pro,yet when i put it to the highest res in star wars jedi knight it looks really wierd.So will ps be the same where i have to play like a lowly res?.

[Hamma]

I dont have a monitor that supports that res. But I dont see why you could not use it :brow:

[Virtuoso]

Weird? Very descriptive!

What do you mean? Like the HUD is too small?

It's hard to exsplain,it's AMAZING!!!!!!!! at one of the high res settings i forget which one.But on the highest 1200x1600 or something it's hard to exsplain what it looks like...like my flat screen has a mesh across it

Are you using a LCD screen (I ask because of your reference to a 'flat' screen)? If you are, I'm 99.99% sure that you don't have one that has a 1600x1200 native resolution (meaning the actual pitch of the groups of cells that make up a pixel isn't an array that is 1600x1200, it's probably 1280x1024). The long and the short of that is when you run an LCD monitor at anything other than it's native resolution, the picture quality goes south- looking very grainy and pixelated (because the image now has to be scaled and that isn't handled well by the LCD device). Could be the problem you are reporting... and that isn't caused by the graphics card nor the game.

Something to consider.

orogogus is correct :D

[Rasulis]

Ok my input on radeon is theres always some problem with them. I don't see why though it would happen in this game, something else just go wrong.

Also why are you using a flat screen for FPS.

Flatscreens are your worst selection for a FPS unless its something like a high res plasma one. They don't look at all good on fps

[Saint]

Hmmm, I don't know about that. I have a 20' flat screen with 1280x1024 max res and all fps look great on it. I don't know what you are talking about.

Normal monitors give me headaches while playing games on them. LCDs are real easy on your eyes, I like them.

[shodan]

SAint is right an LCD screen is a whole lot easier on the eyes than a normal CRT plus the picture is a lot clearer cos there's little or no bleeding.

[Trebor95]

As long as the response rate is sub 20ms then you'll be fine (in theory) in general the higher the response rate you are likely to get ghosting, especially on a fast paced game like PS

anyway orogogus = nail = hit on the head :)

Or, he's got a flat-screened CRT, like I do. I actually think that LCDs are SO much more harsh on my eyes. Never liked 'em, and that's one of the reasons why I don't own a laptop. Plus they tend to not do games as well. Go CRTs!

Orogous got it in one my problem,so it looks like i'm just gonna have to stick with it and run the games at one higher than 800x600 or something simillar to that.

This is the monitor I am looking to buy.. a Samsung 172T. After reading the reviews and talking to people it is said to have little to no ghosting in fps games played.. it's a prety schweet monitor if you ask me. Native resolution is 1280x1024

[balab]

hehe, i got the samsung 18T or something. burned a hole in my parent's pocket on my bday.
