1024x768 is clearly the sweet spot for a number of these cards, with the GeForce4s completely dominating. It's clear that Epic has worked very closely with NVIDIA to make sure that the game is as optimized for their architecture as possible.

Once again, we see that at the sacrifice of texture fidelity you can get very smooth frame rates at 1024x768.
