I was thinking about writing a tutorial for this but there are several on the web.
This one is very good if you want to give it a try.
I am testing it atm with my old 19" screen in double resolution (1280x1024 times 2)........

Why should somebody use this method? you can force anti aliasing in your driver settings for vietcong!

Because every pixel on the screen is calculated twice ( in my case ) which make the screen even more smooth....and i have forced everything to the max
still over 140fps

unfortunately i own a quad core 2,33 ghz, so only 2,33 are counting as single core, but i can force my gpu to 16x aa and af. the fps doesnt drop down
and the whole thing looks as smooth as possible on 1400x1050.

on a 16:9 Full-HD screen. standard resolution is 1920x1080. in vietcong you can then set millions of resolutions, 1400x1050 is the best, almost 4:3 on my 16:9 screen. ;-)

OK, still not cleared. Didn't he said he is trying at 19"? Maybe I'm too tired today that I need some tutor step by step...

Hmmm, maybe problem is I installed only Windows drivers for my videocard and updated them from Windows Update only. I cannot find any settings for my card :-/ OK, I'll install nVidia drivers again, original from MSI web.

lol, I tried it, I updated drivers from apfel's link to original nVidia (not Microsoft nVidia) and now I have better FPS even in 2560x2048, 32xCSAA and 8x supersample. On Ando's Dau Tien about 44-60FPS, similar on RadioRelay.
Only negative is too small letters (badly readable) and too big screenshot (15MB BMP)

cause it looks really good and smooth because its calculated twice (in my case), the other settings forced by nvidia drivers are just an extra bonus!
