1080p (30 fps) vs 768p (60 fps)

What is considered a better choice for gaming..

Depends on the game. For shooters - more fps is crucial.
For other games visual detail is more beneficial.

Depends on the game and preference if you can stand 30FPS.

I would rather go with the 60...

What's your pc spec? An older CPU may not be capable of 60fps in modern games.

As the others said assuming your pc will run both well it depends on the type of game you play.

yep. yep. yep.

Bottom line is just experiment yourself. Set it to 1080p HDTV then run a few games making sure you run at 30FPS (not lower) or disable VSYNC and run higher (pros and cons as you now get screen tearing but less lag).

Then change to 768p at 60FPS.

Examples:
1. Slower game, with smaller HUD/text - resolution more important than FPS

2. Faster game, with larger hud/text - FPS more important than resolution

SKYRIM sits sort of in the middle. It looks a bit better at 1080p, but it's slow enough that 30FPS is okay. Racing games like DIRT also benefit from the higher resolution (HUD elements) but IMO it's better to have 60FPS.
