What resolution are you using?

What resolution are you using in the NL simulator? I'm at 1280x1024, but am looking for a way to boost that higher.

All I have is a NVIDIA GeForce 6100 so, yeah not the best. I would like to get a second 6100 and have them run in that one modes who's name I cant remember where they work together as one

SLI?

I run 1920 x 1280 or whatever the highest resolution is.

What size monitor do you have then?

[TheArchitect]

27 inch iMac lol

got an ATI Radeon HD 4850

^ looks like an Apple Cinema 30" Display to me

Has to be 30 inches I'm pretty sure

Generally you need to be running at whatever your monitor's resolution is. If your graphics card is too weak though, then you'll have to run it at a lower resolution which will result in sharpness loss (due to the LCD scaling) and possibly distortion if the resolution is set to the wrong aspect ratio.

Resolution doesn't matter much for NL though; it doesn't make a huge difference on framerates unless you're using the complex water with an older video card.

My laptop is 1366x768 and my desktop's monitor is 1680x1050. Thus those are the resolutions that I run NL at.

Geforce 6100 is integrated if I remember correctly which means no SLI. If you have an actual card then it may be the 6200. (Which is as obselete as the 6100.)

mine is 1440 x 900 on my 17" laptop

It would matter for video/photographs.

Looks like it's time to upgrade my monitors.

My monitor and NL simulator are running at 1920x1080.

Well you don't really need to upload huge resolution screenshots to websites and most monitors will let you set to 1280x720 to record 720p video. You do need a 1920x1080 monitor or higher to record 1080p video though. It's nice to have but not necessary and numerous users can't watch 1080p video because of their internet connection and/or monitor size. (Though 1080p perhaps could be used as a way to get around Youtube's awful compression artifacts that happen even at 720p.)

1024x768...only have a 17" monitor so any higher hurts my eyes as everything is too small.

I used to use 1600x900 on everything, until my old monitor broke. now its just 1280x1024

1366x768.
Although around Christmas I should be using two 24inch(1920 x 1080) Monitors
