    Higher resolution or higher refresh rate ?

    Ok i have either
    1280x960 @75
    or
    1280x1024 @60

    Which would yeild better quailty ? I tried the tweak loading at 1280x1024@75 the game will load but when i go to login the game crashes.

    *EDIT:
    the tweak did just work for 1280x1024@70

        1280x1024@60hz then. That is probably your native resolution anyways.

        YOu can just leave it at 60hz, refresh doesn't make a huge diffrence on LCDs anyway.

            LCD monitors don't refresh. The refresh rate does not apply to an LCD. It's a leftover from VGA tubes and does not apply to LCD technology. Just YFI.LCD crystals turn on and off.

              I'm well aware of that, but it's still called a refresh rate.

                Sorry, I was not trying to be snippy. I was just trying to explain the difference. No harm done I hope.

                  Thanks for the info. I still use CRTs, but will probably get an LCD in a couple of months, so this is nice to know.
