|widescreen resolution notes= Playing in 16:10 resolutions results in a letterboxed image (i.e. black borders at top & bottom), effectively lowering the game resolution. E.g., playing as 1920x1200 only provides a 1080p game image, with borders filling the rest of the screen(!). [http://img841.imageshack.us/img841/6790/wzn7.jpg Example screenshot]. Sadly wrong. THE GAME RENDERS THE WHOLE IMAGE AND LOADS THE GPU FOR THAT, IT JUST DOESN'T DISPLAY ALL OF THAT.
