What is your gaming resolution?

What is your normal gaming resolution? Ultra High, Very High, High, Medium, etc? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2E1FY6TlPk

I've been at 1920x1080 for a while.

It's tempting to go higher, but that involves a big investment. Even fairly modern games run well on an old AMD HD7850, which is the only thing in my system I haven't upgraded in the last few years. To go to a higher resolution, I'd need to invest in a new video card (which I plan to do soon, but is still looking like $200+ the way prices have been).

And also invest in a new monitor. From what I've seen there is no real consensus on a good monitor. I think the technology isn't quite there yet to find a good balance between colour quality, high resolution, and refresh rate. So, even if I do get a new video card, I expect I'll be gaming at 1920x1080 for a while.

Is this how you get your exercise running around to see all of your monitor? lol

Granted I have two 2560x1440 monitors and run my 1060 gtx at medium/high resolution.

lol - one for each eye. Check out the difference... I'll set the right-hand monitor to 1920x1080 and post a piccy.

Try sticking with the RX series for now. I got a Radeon RX 460 that I paid sixty dollars for, and it puts all the legacy crap I've used to shame. Most of my machines are from the late 2000s through the early 2010s, also...

I was hoping the new Navi cards would be a good option. But it looks like they're still a bit new for Linux. I was kind of looking at something from the RX580 line. I'd like to see prices drop a bit more if I'm going to go for something that isn't the latest generation anymore.

Unfortunately, my gaming PC died on my a few weeks ago. I've been waiting weeks for a new motherboard. Right now I'm gaming on a fanless Zotac ZBOX with an integrated Intel video processor. So gaming has been pretty limited for me for a while.

There's support in the newly released kernel 5.3 for the Radeon RX 5700 Navi series.

Thanks. I'll keep an eye out for reports on how well it's working. Ideally (although probably unlikely) prices will come down a bit too with a bit of patience.
