Higher detail or higher resolution?

I've just been wondering, which one affects framerate more? A higher resolution or a higher detail level?Higher detail or higher resolution?
Really, it depends on the game - and by what degree you change either the detail or the resolution, but I think on the whole, detail will probably affect performance more.The easiest way to know for sure is to grab yourself a copy of fraps and just test it out yourself.Higher detail or higher resolution?
I'm pretty sure your resolution makes more of a difference. At least, this has been my experience as of late.
i think higher detail effects the framerate more, resolution is just revamping the graphics, meaning if your pc can take that sort of graphics its good
increasing resolution will pretty much almost certainly decrease performance the same amount the number of pixels increase percentage wise, there are exceptions, and certain points depending on gpu memory it can hurt.Detail for games is much harder to measure, it depends on the game, the settings even the card . I'd say that higher detail would in general reduce performance more but it can't really be quantified.
Higher Resolution. Resolution Stretching reduces visible Detail, thus lowering the detail level even more, at least with a higher resolution the game looks right.But I often play in Windowed mode to retain a set pixel count for the game and no stretching. Thats how I play Crysis and it looks gorgeous that way.
i changed my screen resolution from 1240x1020 to 1960x1200 (well numbers close to that) .... and my frame rate almost never goes bellow -10 (of what i had before) ... like i had around 60fps in team fortress 2, now i'm easily running it at 50 fps and most of the time still over 55
