[SOLVED] Does upgrading to a higher resolution monitor lower fps? How much i'll lose?

[Reidrigo]

Will I get lower fps when I upgrade from 1360x720 to 2560x1080? I do not fully understand this stuff. How much i'll lose? Is there a way to calc that?

My specs are Pentium G5400, GTX 1050 Ti (4gb) and 8GB Ram.

In general...all things being equal...when you up the resolution you lower the fps.

I'd guess you might lose about half.

If you still run the games at the same resolution, no. If you run the games at the higher resolution of your new monitor, yes.

Can't really say how much as it depends on many factors and game to game but it will be significant.

Wtf, half of my FPS? So If I have 100 FPS now, will cut it for 50? So its not a worth trade, right?

Do you think it can be the half too? I was thinking in something about 15%.

Yes, if the card is maxed out at 720p.

For instance.....
At 1360x720 each frame has 979,200 pixels.
At 2560x1080 each frame has 2,764,800 pixels.

That's almost three times as many pixels per frame.

Your fps will drop accordingly.

Just as a very general "for instance"....I just put together a system using a 1050ti mini for a friend's son. With Furmark at 720P preset test it was getting right at 70FPS. On the 1080P preset it was at 42FPS.

1360 × 768 = 1,044,480 pixels
2560 × 1080 = 2,764,800 pixels

2.7× as many pixels means you'll get around 1/2.7× as many frames, or 38% of what you had before. That is assuming your are entirely limited by graphics card power. The loss will be less if you are limited by CPU power even at the lower resolution.

This seems reasonable.
