Those benchmarks are a little irrelevant because they're on a system where the CPU is the bottleneck, not the GPU. Not to mention that they're all well within margin of error (better FPS by increasing resolution from 640x480 to 1280x1024?).

If you're GPU bottlenecked then yes, lowering resolution will increase framerate (duh?). If you're CPU bottlenecked it won't do anything.

I have a question about resolution as well: Does changing your resolution from 16:9 to 4:3 affect your sensitivity in any way?

Going from 1080p to 1440p didn't have any major impact on my fps.

In some games it would, but I don't think it that's the case for tf2.

I think it slightly does, simply because fov's are different or different aspect ratio

If you have a dedicated GPU and are running a GFX config, no not really. Some really old or integrated GPUS benefit.
