Re: Which is a better resolution???

They both suck. 800x600 is too small, and 60Hz is too low.

If you have a CRT try at least 1024x768 @72Hz. The native resolution of LCDs is 1280x1024. I'm not even sure if LCDs even use refresh rates.

The native resolution of LCDs is 1280x1024.

Nope, native res. for a TFT is 1024x768 (15" and 17") - unless you are talking about newer 19" models.

Re: Which is a better resolution???

I read all of these comments and now I'm a little confused. I run my at 800 x 600 with refresh rate at 170, or 1024 x 768 with refresh rate at 140! My video card is is a 6600 GT, and my monitor supports both these refresh rate. Is this ok or does it add to delay with refresh rate that high?

Re: Which is a better resolution???

Don't take this the wrong way Blak_Pheonix_MB but I'm with Krypp596 and have a 9600 with everything on low/medium at 800x600 and 75Hz. If I go over those settings it will stutter.

I know you have a 10% OC on the 9550 but I'd like to see some screenshots of those settings in action.

I use 1024x768 at 72 Hz with a 9550, works fine.

my settings:

VideoSettings.setTerrainQuality 3
VideoSettings.setGeometryQuality 2
VideoSettings.setLightingQuality 3
VideoSettings.setDynamicLightingQuality 2
VideoSettings.setDynamicShadowsQuality 2
VideoSettings.setEffectsQuality 3
VideoSettings.setTextureQuality 3
VideoSettings.setTextureFilteringQuality 1
VideoSettings.setResolution 1024x768@72Hz
VideoSettings.setAntialiasing 2Samples
VideoSettings.setViewDistanceScale 1
VideoSettings.setVideoOptionScheme 3

That was taken from the C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR USERNAME\My Documents\Battlefield 2\Profiles\0001

Then under Video... i could be bothered to start up the game.. lol.

1 = low
2 = med
3 = high

But scale distance 1 = 100% view distance.

So long as the 60 Hz doesn't hurt your eyes or give you a headache, always go with a higher resolution and at the highest refresh rate your monitor can support at that resolution.

IF you are on a 15 inch LCD (which i hope not), then 60hz at 1024 is your only real option. If you have a CRT than 1024 at 60hz is better, even though it gives eye strain.

Re: Which is a better resolution???

which one is better? 1920x1200 on a 23" Apple Cinema Display. :)

screw that. try 6'x8' on my projector. methinks the guns are bigger than in real life. :)

Re: Which is a better resolution???

well i would like to play on 1024x768 75 Hz, but it cuts off an inch of the right side of the game screen, so i stay at 60Hz

i would move the monitor screen settings but i dont wanna keep changing it everytime i open and close the game
(i dont want to change my desktop resolution either)

anyone have a solution?

say what you want, but you and i both know that it can't run the game at a resolution higher than 1920x1200. :P

Re: Which is a better resolution???

Okay...enough about me...let's talk about me...

I have 17 Flatpanel Dell true something screen and you have my specs below.

What should be my refresh rate and res? Right now I have her set to 1024X768(is that the number?) at 60hz...no problems. Would my FPS go up if I plugged in my CRT screen?

Thanks,

Re: Which is a better resolution???

no. if you run at the same resolution with the same hardware, monitors will not change your performance whatsoever.

Re: Which is a better resolution???

My PC is anything but obsulete, but even I experience problems running the game above 1024x780. Not that anything bad that happens to me with this game makes any sense...

Re: Which is a better resolution???

Could someone explain how 1024x768 at 60Hz is bad? I've always used that as my resolution (yes I'm using a CRT monitor) and it had never hurt my eyes, I never see any flickering. It looks perfectly fine and no different from any other monitor I've looked at.
