whats your resolution?

Recommended Posts

GLBoom: 1600x1200 (well, why not?).
Prboom: 640x480 (since it's most stable then).
Eternity: 640x400 (best it's got).
Doom(2).exe: 320x200 (duh).

That's on a 19 inch monitor.

zdoom: 800 x 600 windowed. I sometimes talk to people online and play at the same time...
It is also useful for testing levels.

Rarely I will play full screen at 1024 X 768, but since I am used to the window sized screen, it seems huge.

800x600 in ZDoom is the highest I can set the resolution without framerate decrease on this PC. I prefer smooth animation over high resolution, so I would use 1600x1024 if it weren't notably laggy.

640x400 in Eternity.

I like my Doom in proper perspective.

As do I, but I don't see 1280x800 (or 1024x600 for that matter) anywhere in the ZDoom resolution menus.

You have to add new resolutions in via PowerStrip or a similar utility before ZDoom can identify it.

Since when do we play resolutions? I though we were playing DOOM.

By the way, I have resolved to buy a gift for an awesome woman I met at work. Can't think of any other resolutions I have made lately right now.

Depending on the source port:


ZDoom: 1024x768
PrBoom (GL): 1280x960
Legacy (Software): can't use - it's creepingly slow on my system
Legacy (GL): 1024x768 (for Nimrod only)
Doomsday : 1280x960 (for Doom64 only)

So why does anybody still play at 320x200? And please don't tell me that Doom is meant to be played at that resolution. Even 'officially' 640x400 is possible (with Doom95.)

640x400 when the drivers and OS permit it; else 640x480 will do fine.
