Low resolution vs High resolution

by Deactivated2398 • 5 Dec 2007, 14:29 • Journals
What resolution do you use and what you think its better. Most of the gamers using r_mode 4 ? Only for the refreshrate or something else??

What do you think is the best resolution in your opnion.

In my opnion is r_mode 4 the best because you can see there normaly when using fov 90 and you got nice stable fps + Refreshment rate can be higherd up ..

Im using r_mode 4 maxfps 76 displayrefresh 85 fov 90 (Hitboxes are bigger with 90 :) )

Using r_mode 4 because:

- it feels way smoother (game and mouse movement)
- I am (was) able to reach 120HZ on any CRT even at LANs (unfortunetely those are using this new awesome TFT technology now)
- I got few more fps back then

Smoother? It doesnt also has to do something with texturemode and picmip ? What texturemode do you advise to use when playing rmode 4 to get the smooth effect :D

r_mode 4 is bett0r apart from that you can see better through net-walls (liek in supply crane) with r_mode 8

r_mode 6 because I get 100 refreshrate with it.
r_mode 4 looks to ugly, r_mode 8 only 85 refreshrate :<

most et players use r_mode 6. I can get a steady 100fps with vsync at 1600x1200, but it's actually harder to aim that way, somehow. Got something to do with the number of pixels your crosshair have to travel over the screen, or something to that effect. Too low is too fugly, though.

doesnt vsync give you latency?

supposedly, but I can't go back to that eye-jarring tearing now. :p

r_mode 8, but how I know does 120hz works or no? :DD
▼
trigerek 5 Dec 2007, 17:38
If you have crt:
r_displayrrefresh 120


vid_restart


and see if it blows up.....

if lcd = max75 any reso (16:10 = 60hz most proly)

shaaKal1 5 Dec 2007, 18:51
Which one fits better with lcd/75hz r_mode 6 or 8, what's difference? :d
Parent
▼
trigerek 5 Dec 2007, 19:22
depends on lcd native reso & your pc....


if you dont use native resolution = you sreen is quite fucked up (especially in older/cheaper tft-s)

if your pc cant handle the reso, it's up to you... (fps or quality)

if it can handle it easily, then go 4 native resolution

If you have a bad system, go for 800*600. Lowering the resolution helps a lot if you have low FPS.
For good systems and CRTS that can handle fast refresh rates with "higher" resolutions, I'd choose 1024*768 or even 1280*1024.
And if you have a TFT, don't bother... ;(

if you've got tft avoid fps all together :D

r_mode 4 is indeed the smoothest, but things can look abit crappy with anything but 90-95 fov. So im using r_mode 6 atm
