You mean resolution? If you do I always have my resolution on 1024x768 for online games. I have a radeon 8500.

I hope thats what you meant...

i set most of mine at 1280 by 1024 with the exception of counter strike which is set at the default level whatever that is cuz it doesn't run very well on 1280 by 1024

most RTS and RPG games i try to run at a min of 1280x1024
FPSs i try to keep up atleast 1024x768, though UT2k3 kicks my GF2 GTS around if i put it above 800.

You want to set your resolution as high as you can without having to squint at the computer screen while sitting right infront of it...and of course monitor size matters. Go for16k x 12k if you can but most likely you should run at 1280x1024

on top of that, you want yor refresh rate @ the highest that your adapter allows. There is a link in "XP Tweak" for the refresh rate "fix" for 2k/XP

Bf1942 - 1024x768 (800x600 on desert combat mod cause its not optimized correctly :x )
Morrowind - 1280x1024

1280x1024 on most of my games (that max size for my monitor)
If i'm playing stuff like quake and UT. I put it low so I can play faster with out getting jitterey on 1280x1024..

Man my Geforce 4 Ti 4200 sucks.

1280x1024x32 @ 100hz in most games.

But some games won't support the higher res's. Such as Command & Conquer Generals. (supports 1280x960, but i prefer 1024x768 cuz it's not as skewed)

I prefer First Person Shooters, UT, UT2003, Tactical Ops, Americas Army and the likes.

you can get a GF2, GF3 or GF4MX for under $100!
why would you need to use an old 16MB card?
do some chores or something for Mom and Dad and get the money to upgrade so you can play at a decent resolution with pletny of fps!
