1600x1050.  Sometimes lower but most the games I play arent too demanding.

Btw, does anyone know off the top of their head what the next lowest 160:10 ratio resolution is?

My desktop and gaming resolution is set at 1920x1200. I have not played a game yet, that has made me lower it due to slow performance.

I usually try for 1280x960 or 1280x1024 (the highest my old drt goes) if I can get a resonable framerate, otherwise I juist stick with 1024x768.

1024x768, it's the native for my 17" CRT, and my video card prolly couldn't handle much higher res anyway.
