You guys missed my point. I was not telling 800x600 was the best in 90's ... but if you think about it, it did was an awesome resolution back in the days - do you deny this fact?

What I was saying guys, is that it's not logical to use 800x600 nowadays when modern technologies offer cutting edge graphics which 800x600 res will not reflect to full extent.

With that said, though, I still do not understand what the problem is with supporting lower resolutions from developers point of view, since I somewhat know what is involved, and I know it's not a problem to implement the support for it ... for instance, there was one old game which had support only for 4 resolutions (640x480, 800x600, 1024x768 and 1280x1024 I think). Well time went ahead, game became old, PCs became more advanced and so the folks cried for more. I modified the EXE to support virtually any resolution they can think off, without actually owning the code of the game... just HEX-edited a couple of things, and now they are all happy campers having all resolutions.

What I'm saying is that developers just decide on their own what resolutions to incude in the drop-down selection box, but that not necessarily means there are some technological difficulties supporting lower resolutions... it's just that they don't want ... the SDK supports everything out of the box....

But, I agree with JOleg. What's the point in asking the developers fo good graphics if you aren't going to use them?

You're both stuck in the past (no offense ). Besides, a better resolution isn't such a big hit on FPS. On Flight Simulator X, I raised the resolution form 800x600 to 1240x1024 and only 1 framerate was lost.

well i dont use 800 x 600 much only when i am running more then 1 program and the part about being in the past when you have a wife and is newly wedd your money would be stripped of cash as well. Since i got married this year i really do not have the money to get somethings right now like a monitor.I would gladly switch over if you are willing to buy me a new monitor

Well bigbubba467, I'm saving to buy a new PC.
I'd be glad to give you my old monitor as long as you're willing to do a trans-atlantic trip

Im using a brand new pc with awsome card HD card HD monitor , and I find HD to not really impress me that much . More hype over braggin rights more than quality I think IMHO . I perfer my old pc with it's lower specs , it still runs everything i slap on it fairly easy , and it gives me more of a gamer feel . The old school feel I love.

Well, I used to have an old monitor that only supported 1024x768 max, and I can tell you right now I don't miss it at all. And if you think it doesn't improve your game, you need to get a new set of eyes because it increases the quality more than anything else. What do you guys play on your pc's that look better than a brand new montior? pong? Give me a break. 800X600 monitors should be recycled by now, they're probably going to give you eyeball cancer or some shit. If you use a crt monitor it might hurt your eyes, I use an lcd with the largest resolution and colors my monitor will support ans it's way easier on my eyes, I can spend hours playing a game on here and not get eye strain.

Higher resolutions doesnt improve the quality of any game , it doesnt improve the lame ass gameplay that the majority of these newer games have . it just " supposed to make them look better" it doesnt improve shit in the game engine or game play or phsyics . graphics is not everything .

Are we limited to only 6 speed gearboxes then?
(from the logitech G25 perspective) if more than 6 gears are needed then a range-change button could of been implemented? or am i just dreaming now?


and.... 1440x900 will do me just fine
