720p at around 50 frames per second works fine. The 1024x768 resolution appears quite poor.
I'll reduce all adjustments until I achieve steady 60fps. If that fails, I'll search for solutions since an i7/390 setup should handle 1080p games at the lowest settings. Otherwise, it might be a faulty port needing third-party fixes. Only MMO titles work at lower framerates, likely due to overhead or third-person effects.
You're probably right. Right now I'm using a 1024x768 setup and it feels like I need binoculars just to see anything clearly. I have an GTX 745 and I'm saving money for an R9 390, but it won't be that soon. I was thinking about getting a 960, though—it's not powerful enough. I want to feel like a strong player just once, even if it only lasts a year, to really experience running games at the highest settings. For now, I'm trying to find a good balance with my weaker card. Better put a piece of wood in place of the 745—it'll definitely run better.
I don't play high speed fps games, I spend hours on end just driving around in JC2(and now 3) or playing KSP for example, so the aliasing hurts me to look at more than lower frame-rates. But, when playing in a LAN with friends I'll turn down all the settings and up the FOV to what would normally be too ugly for me, just to get the extra frames for accurate mouse movement and reactions. (but there is always that one guy in COD2 who throws 50 mother f'ing smoke bombs and slows our craptops (school recommended netbooks) to 2 fps).
Are you referring to the R9 390 processor? What specific details are you asking about?
