Request for 1024x600 resolution to be added as standard test

HTWingNut · Post by **HTWingNut** » 01 Nov 2008, 04:02

Considering the slew of netbooks, all utilize 1024x600 resolution, can this be made part of the resolution testing? I have found in most cases that the indicated widescreen fix works, but sometimes with considerable compromise.

Anyhow, just a thought.

Assuming that's the resolution for those little bitty EEE mahines, i doubt it'll be added, as gaming on those is pretty tough. Gaming on those is just not practical.

Then again, I'm not a WSGF bigwig, so you never know.

We can certainly ask people to try and test those, but we can't make it a requirement. Many people won't have that option as a native resolution in Windows. And, only NVIDIA makes it easy to add custom resolutions. So while it would be good to, it's not something we can require.

Id like this. I can help too as I've got an Aspire One.

mikeh,

crazy avatar you got there.

Aren't the gpus in these netbooks really weak? Seems like they are selling well so maybe in a year or two when they start getting decent powered gpus...

But who knows what will be the common resolution on them then?

Considering their portability factor... i'd be willing to sacrifice gaming performance for battery life + weight.

My MSI Wind u100 can play games like Fallout 2, System Shock 2, Deus Ex etc. that generation of games still gets DR's on here.

yea

I forgot that there are LOTS of good older games that would probably work well on these gpus.
