zucker it would be nice if you could stop bashing me without any reason. you want to see some facts? who here runs 1024x768? hmmmm? and if you do what cpu and video card do you have?

See that's your problem, perpetually assuming things and conjuring more assumptions to support your assumptions.

Savantu went to lengths to give you info from Steam, the premier games vending medium and their statistics of users (people who actually play games) resolution. Why did he do that? To backup his argument that the majority of users are still on lower resolutions. If objectivity meant anything to you, you'd accept the fact or show other evidence to back your claims of 1680x1050 as the standard benchmark for gaming. But this is beyond your scope of comprehension so I'll leave it at that.

And only 11% of Steam users have a QC

You really think most of those are in the 65% having a low res monitor?

Dualcores have always been favored over quadcores for gaming; at least on the Intel platform this is the case. Duals overclock easily to 4Ghz+ and therefore give more frame-rates in games; as is evident in some of the tests. An E8600 at 4.5Ghz would annihilate most quads in an overwhelming majority of games simply because only a select number of games actually take advantage of 4 cores so frequency is more important in most game-play.
