There's been some debate whether things like wide-screen should be supported or not, I'm interested to see some actual numbers.

I use 1280x1024 by default
When I'm playing Renegade I use 800x600 with full screen enabled so my fps isn't complete crap.

Same here...

Clown, in your poll you haven't got one widescreen resolution Neutral

The only thing I don't play in 1440x900 is TestDrive Unlimited because the cars looks really fat. Oh and games that obviously don't support it like Dungeon Keeper 2. But all modern games I play at the maximum resolution my monitor can display.

I used 1024x768, mostly because it's supported by pretty much everything.

I use the biggest widescreen one (1680x1050?). Before I got my new monitor it was 800x600.

I think you mean 1600*1200 otherwise that would be like super widescreen.

My desktop res is 1920x1200 (16:10 widescreen). But I play games in smaller res's just for the fps since nothing but a rapage gfx card can game in 1920x1200, even for old games. I'll go as small as 1024x768 and as large as 1280x800 (widescreen).

I voted 1920x1080 by accident. The poll should be edited since 1920x1080 is the 16:9 widescreen ratio. Computer widescreen res's are 16:10.

Huh? My video card plays Renegade, and even Tiberium Wars, maxed out at a 2048x1536 resolution and with 4x AA (2x AA for Tiberium Wars) and, in the case of Renegade, 16xAF (I see no difference in Tiberium Wars with AF on or off). I'd consider an 8800GT good, but not "rapage".

As for me, I switch between 1400x1050 and 1600x1200 for desktop use. For games, it depends. If I can use it, I'll opt for 2048x1536 or 1600x1200. If it's a newer or more demanding game, sometimes I'll use 1400x1050 or 1280x960. I don't think I go lower than that for games unless it's a certain exception.

By the way, I know it's impossible to do it right due to the limitless possibilities of resolutions, but you really did miss alot of resolutions. You skipped everything in the middle. I'd do it this way.

800x600 (4:3)
1024x768 (4:3)
1152x864 (4:3)
1280x960 (4:3)
1280x1024 (5:4)
1280x720, 1280x768, 1280x800 (widescreen)
1400x900 (widescreen)
1400x1050 (4:3)
1680x1050 (widescreen)
1600x1200 (4:3)
1920x1200 (widescreen)
2048x1536 (4:3)

With the many different widescreen ratios and multiple monitor setups, that doesn't even account for all, but I'd consider that list having most of the standards, and even some of the less common.

Oh, and for those who have an LCD (widescreen or not), if you play at fullscreen in ANY resolution but your native (maximum), it will interpolate and look like a stretched mess.

I have a Geforce GTX 280, yet I have a 15" 1024x768 monitor. Do I overkill or what?

For those who have large resolution screens and go down to lower res for some games, I personally can't stand doing that. If I had a high res screen and a GPU not capable of getting good FPS for it, I'd lower the detail settings etc, not the resolution. I think lowering the resolution only looks acceptable on CRTs, but on LCDs it gets ratyher ugly.
