So I'm planning on replacing the 60hz monitor on my laptop and moving up to the ASUS VG248QE. I've already asked around and i figure my frames won't take too much of a hit, but i really want a consistent frame rate above 144. i'm running dx8 on highframes, and could always move over to maxframes, but it doesn't seem to give too much of a performance boost. The only thing i really have left is lowering my resolution. I have a custom hud, and with most of the elements being non-centered, will probably get screwed up. What resolution should i move down to to get the best performance while doing the least amount of damage aesthetically? (the monitor is at 1920 x 1080 as the base res) (i get around 100-160 frames in a 6v6 pug, around 60-80 in a pub, 200-260 mge, 300-400 jumping.) (my current resolution is 1600 x 900) (i'm running the GeForce GTX 660M and i7)
640x480 is amazing. pvhud works perfectly with it. your framerate will be much higher.
1280 x 720 to prevent your hud from fucking up while maintaining the extra fov from 16x9.
However, if you don't really care for the fov, then you could always just lower it to some other low res. Your hud maker should probably have edits to the hud for different resolutions so I think it should be fine.
EDIT: Your xhair will be a lot larger if you do lower your res so prepare for that as well.

by "custom hud" i meant one that i edited myself, and, before realizing i might switch resolutions eventually, didn't center anything. But 1280 x 720 sounds great, and i'll consider 640 x 480 or some other 4 x 3 variant if i can get the hud to line up. thanks for the help!
