How much of an fps difference in 720p vs 1080p?

Just as the title says. How big of a fps boost is there?

Boost? More like hit. Go up in resolution, go down in fps. Go down in resolution, go up in fps. The amount depends on the card, supporting hardware, actual screen resolution and a ton of other factors but you might see a 10-15 or more fps increase going from 1080 down to 720.

Thank you for the help

Generally performance/resolution seems to scale fairly linearly, since its the raw pixel count that causes the slow down. 720p is a little fewer than half of the pixels of 1080p, so everything else being equal, you could expect 720p to perform nearly twice as well.
