1440P

[Derstenzel]

Gentleman and Maidens,


I am a hardware addict... Yes I am that idiot who is sucked into the marketing and has an extreme need to always run my games at the "highest" settings. This cost me a great deal of money and has been known to infferiate my wife. However, I always let her know that it is because I am the type of person that always has to have the best, that I picked her out to be my wife. This comment does not work so I strongly advise not using it.

Now that you all had to read though that completely off topic paragraph here is my question.
I am considering purchasing a 1440P monitor to run Rome 2. Who here is running at this resolution and is
it worth it?

I'm using a full HD monitor (LG Flatron IPS231). The game looks great in 1920 x 1080 p, I gotta say.

When is a bigger, better screen ever not worth it? If there is one thing Rome 2 is good at, it's looking good.

I'm running it on 1920 x 1080 as well, and with good graphics settings it looks amazing and is worth it. That said, I can't get my machine to cope with the good graphics settings. My excuse is that my monitor is used to watch films as well as play games. My girlfriend accepted that, just about.

Running at 2560x1440. Is it worth it. Yes if you can afford it! Invest in a good monitor though, think of ghosting, color gamut and the viewing angle. I'd buy a cinema if I could to play rome or other games :)

Yeah, the movie argument sure is efficient. In my case, the problem I had was to explain why a monitor and why not a beamer. I mean a video-projector.

I have one question about resolution: what is the native mode exactly and is it always better to use it or does it depend on the GPU I have ?
