How much of a performance hit (FPS) when switching from 1680x1050 to 1920x1080/1200?

Well, I hope my point has been made clearly enough... Everything you need to know is right there in the thread title.

I'm planning on picking up a new monitor this week. I'm looking for something at least Full HD, or maybe even slightly higher, like a 1920x1200 resolution. Currently, when I'm playing Manhattan, I'm getting about 50 FPS at my current resolution. If I make the jump to the resolution I mentioned, roughly how much of an FPS drop should I expect to see? Thanks...

15% - 23.5%

So you're telling me we're looking at a drop of 5 to 6 frames per second?

Look, strictly speaking, if you're claiming you've got 50fps right now, and he's saying you'll lose somewhere between 15% and 23.5%, then we aren't talking about a 5-6 fps drop. It's more like 7 to 12 fps less. 😉

Good grief, I can't believe that was the response to such a question... It isn't just about changing your resolution; everything else plays a massive role too. You have to consider the specific game you're running, the level of detail required, and obviously, the power of your graphics card. Honestly, this whole debate feels like a complete waste of time... at this rate, you'll be lucky if you even hit 37.2 fps.

Sure, I was just "helping out" with the math.😉
