Well to be honest you're making a sacrifice in either scenario.

Is this particular to a game you're playing? If so, what game? If it's a general question I'd have to say higher resolution with lower details etc. because at the very least a higher resolution allows for greater overall detail.

Depending on the game, of course.

Higher resolution because it will look clearer but with less details but at a lower resolution it would have more details but the picture would not be as sharp and look a little muddier if you know what I mean, less clear. Anyways those are my preferences. So all in all I would go with higher resolution.
