    You can choose any resolution you want in the game options. The default recommendation of 1280×1024 is a compromise between quality and performance. for the best possible quality choose 1600×1200 or 1920×1440. Just keep an eye on performance, especially new games might not run fast enough with higher resolutions. If your monitor does not support these resolutions, running games windowed may help.

    In a handful of games (e.g. Skyrim) you can also upscale internally in vorpX. The according option is called Internal Resolution Upscale and can be found on the image page of the vorpX ingame menu if it is avilable for a game.

    Try to run the game windowed. As stated above, if you run games fullscreen, your monitor has to support the resolution in question. If for example you have a 1920×1080 monitor, you likely won’t be able to run games with 1600×1200 unless you run them windowed.

    The default recommendation of 1280×1024

    Just out of curiosity, is that Height 1280 and Width 1024, or Width 1280 and Height 1024?

    The official recommendatation are 1280 (width) x 1024 (height).

    There are mainly two reasons for recommending 4:3/5:4 aspect ratios:

    1. They are available per default, so inexperienced users don’t need to add resolutions to Windows.
    2. They provide a few extra pixels for vorpX’s async timewarp.

    You can still experiment with other aspect ratios, of course. The performance gain usually isn’t worth the extra hassle campared to 5:4/4:3 though.

    I guess I should update the custom resolution post rather soon than later. The current state admittedly is a bit confusing.
