If you play on PC, what resolution do you game at?

Depends, if i'm playing a R6, Dota 2 or a any competitive game 1080p/1440p and 120/144fps
If i'm playing a SP title, 1440p/60fps, if i can push even higher, 1440p/120fps.

I have a TV (1080p/60) and a monitor (1440p/144 +gsync) hooked up to my computer.
Lately I have been playing on the monitor instead of the TV, but more so out of convenience than anything else (my TV's in an awkward spot).

1080@60. 4k still needs crazy ammounts of gpu power and the capable cards are priced accordingly.
1440 looks like a good middle ground, but I don't intend to buy a new monitor until they get variable refresh rate sorted over hdmi.

not really, 1024x768 and 800x600 is available but still hardcoded into the game (1024x768 is in the settings but 800x600 only in config file). for 16:9 there arent any under 720p
I strive for 1440p with fps above 60fps, but I prefer better performance to resolution/graphics. For whatever reason, Monster Hunter World struggles with 1440p 60, and even 1080p/60 at times. So I tweaked some settings in that game to hit 1080p 90 fps

Some games, mainly old ones, don't allow to select different refresh rates for a selected resolution. Creating different ones only by a pixel (with auto aspect ratio enabled) is the easiest workaround to force a refresh rate.
If they made a 16x10 freesync/gysnc 144hz monitor I'd buy it in a heartbeat. I miss my 1680x1050 Samsung monitor. I liked the extra height that I got with it.
Oh wow that sounds even more annoying, I hate reinstalling Windows with a passion :P But I haven't even thought about the utility for pen and paper RPGs, nice! But yeah with all the issues it makes me actually want to see how an Apple-made convertible would go. Running full x86 macOS with the ability to run iOS/iPadOS apps in tablet mode. I switched from iPhones to Android and don't regret it but iPads are super solid experiences and it makes me curious how and if Apple would solve all the problems.
Well that's as weird of a resolution as most Apple devices have coming to think of it but yeah 3:2 gives a nice, big workspace, I just didn't think about 16:9 and 16:10 not making sense everywhere. And I hope you'll enjoy the new Pro 7! :)
yeah 16:10 for gaming is the best. 16:9 was created for movies.
Street Fighter Iv still supported 640x480 for arcade monitors.
What GPU is recommended for 1440p120+? I'm looking at buying a 1440p monitor of some kind as FF14 for one feels a bit cramped in 1080p and the game doesn't scale the UI very well, but I'm not sure whether it's worth bothering with high refresh rates on a "lowly" 1660 Ti.
1080P 144hz, 27-inch FreeSynch monitor. I could have chosen a 4k one as the were at the same price that my panel, but to me, FPS is way more important than that, so I don't think I will be buying any other monitor for the time being, and I will definitely be upgrading my GPU way before that ever happens.
I recommend dropping two pixels on the vertical rather than one.
I ran into issues where the output from some games would be blurred with an odd-numbered resolution selected - even though it should not make a difference.
Oh yeah, I loved my Samsung B226. I still have it somewhere, but it gets a lot less use now (none) for only having DVI and VGA ports.
Honestly 1440p vs 4k isn't worth the performance hit if your playing at 27inches or under.
I've very happy on my 1440p 144hz gsync monitor and won't look at 4k for a loooong time. Anything bigger than 27" for PC is too much for me anyway.
I have my PC hooked up to a 4K TV, but I still run most things at 1080P, simply because I run the desktop at 1080P since Windows 10's scaling sucks ass
I think the poll is flawed. I game on a 4K60 display but obviously even with a high-end card not every game can be 4K60, so basically I go as high as I can while maintaining 60fps. In some games that's 4K, in others it's 1440p, and in a few others 1080p. So there's no set resolution I can pick. But I do always target 60fps with PC games.
Same for me. I play on my TV so I do 4K60 when I can, but will bump it down to 1440 if I need to.
4K60 for me as I have my PC with a 2080 Ti hooked up to a LG OLED. I also have a Razer Blade 15 with an OLED that I try I usually play at 4K60 (have to really mess with graphics options to pull that off) or 1440p60.
