Does the Screen size matter?

Recommended Posts

First post.

I play on a 32inch HDTV via VGA/HDMI cable. And I'm lagging sometimes.

here's my specs:

Manufacturer: Custom

Processor: Intel® Core2 Duo CPU E7300 @ 2.66GHz (2 CPUs), ~2.7GHz

Memory: 2046MB RAM

Hard Drive: 1 TB

Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GTX+ OC

Operating System: Windows Vistaâ„¢ Ultimate (6.0, Build 6000)

I want to know if the game will run smoother in a smaller screen using regular VGA cable than bigger screen? I don't have a smaller screen at the moment to test it, but I'm willing to buy one based on the answers of this thread.

I'm not sure what resolution you are running at bit I van tell you that the actual screen size doesn't matter but resolution does. If you are running on 720p or 1080p then I can't help you as I've never tested under Hdmi resolutions

right now, I'm running it at 1680x1050 for interface resolution and 1470x917 for 3d.

The quality performance is set on high

Well size matters too or at least ratio does. In Arma1 I played on 19" with 1024x768 and then switched to 22", set it to same res (despite it looked bad) and frame rate was few % lower. On my old PC (amd 3000, 6600gt) the difference was much greater. Really un-playable on 22".

By the way, for me it works better to have fillrate at 100%/both resolutions the same.

It will run smoother in a smaller ressolution (this is always true), but if the screen has a native ressolution or you use a small ressolution in a large screen, graphic quality could be compromissed.
