malkuth 0 Posted June 21, 2009 Just bought a HP w2338h Wide Screen monitor. Not really messed with it much but what should I expect for a FPS loss while running this baby at its native resolutotion of 1920*1080? I'm still stuck in the old days old CRT and low resulotions. I always thought the higher you go the less FPS you get? Oh I have a Nvidia 9800GT Video card Intel DUO E8400 3.0GZ 4 Gigs Ram and VISTA 32 Bit. New to These wide Screen LCDS LOL.

no use for a name 0 Posted June 21, 2009 what resolution and FPS were you running before? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
malkuth 0 Posted June 21, 2009 I was playing at 1280*1024 Before with the old CRT Monitor. FPS was anywhere between 60-25. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
no use for a name 0 Posted June 21, 2009 oh yeah, you're probably going to see a pretty significant decrease. how much? who knows; but hopefully someone with similar specs and resolution can comment further. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lee_h._oswald 0 Posted June 21, 2009 You can easy test it with arma2. Set fillrate to 100% and looks at the fps. Then set the 3D Render(fillrate) to 125% and look at the fps again. 100% --> 1280x1024=1310720(pixel) 125% --> 1600x1280=2048000(pixel) 23"LCD--> 1920x1080=2073600(pixel) As you can see, 125% fillrate with your old monitor has the nearly the same amount of pixel as the new lcd with fullhd resolution. It's not exactly correct, because with a widescreen monitor your FOV(field of view) is wider also(more objects on the screen). MfG Lee ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
malkuth 0 Posted June 21, 2009 Played some Multi Player last night. Did not notice a huge difference really. Of course in Multi not really much on the screen as in the Campaign games. It was laggy, but that was because of the Internet.. Blah. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
