To be honest if you get stable 125/250 fps on for example 1920x1080 I see no reason why you should lower the resolution.

Its not like we are playing CS 1.6 here. :)

in cs 1.6 for aim 640x480 > 800x600 cause the lower resolution have less pixels so its easier to aim / hit your targets ( it was something like this )

i don't know if the same applies for cod4 ! on cod4 i play with 800x600 simply because i can't get steady 250 on higher resolution, and 640x480 looks rlly shit in cod4 !

640x480 looks terrible but when i play on 800x600 my fps just isn't enough. So i have been playing on 640x480 for a long time now..and i do not like it

I played on 800x600 for a long time. Just because 1024x768 was too low fps and 640x360 was too ugly :p

With my new computer I play 1440x900 (my monitor's resolution) at stable 250 :)

you can better take a higher response (hz) because this will improve your reaction

advantages on 640x480 are the low pixes = very easy to hit/aim the targets and the higher and more stable fps , disadvantage is just the game is very ugly and sometimes its hard to see enemies .

Stable FPS, I tried 640x480 and it seems like the walls have less details and its so much easier to spot players head on distance..your choice, try 800x600 85 hz.

Only reason cs 1.6 players use a low res is because it makes your crosshair smaller

I have a Samsung SyncMaster 2233 monitor. I thought it was 120Hz, but in CoD4 the highest screen refresh rate I can choose is 60Hz. Any explanations?

Well that's awkward I got 60hz monitor and i can put 120hz ingame...

I have 2233rz too, and no problem with refresh rate.

Have you connected proper DVI cable? You must have "DVI dual-link" to get 120hz.

I don't have a 2233rz, I just have a 2233. Maybe that's a difference? :s

Seeing comments like " looks so ugly "etc, promod aint about beauty of houses and other objects, its about visibility combined with performance, therefore 800x600 is perfect choice if you are ak47 because on distance you see the walls/objects on the poor and yet simple way, making yourself to spot anyone without mistake.

having played on both for a long time as my comp cant reach 125 steady (even on 640x480) i can say that i prefer 800x600. if you put the textures on high and use commands such as /r_detail 0 etc it becomes a very effective way of seeing the enemies, whilst not compromising on performance. i would definately go with 800x600 any day of the week.
