Most people are probably playing on LCD and want to run the native resolution of the monitor. If you don't run at native resolution, text in particular can be harder to read and images can appear blurry.

The reason lower resolutions work is the fact that it's not having to draw as many pixels. It's a no brainer.

At the moment, I can fly solo in a 800x600 window over water, settings low with my GTX295 card. Add anything else and I get stutters and sub 20 frames. I hope the SLI fix will allow me to do more than fly in circles over water - until then, the game is pretty much useless to me.. though, given the several premium titles I picked up in March, I'll live with the wait.
