changing the res. to 1680x1050 from 1024x768-what will be the fps decrease?

TC dont let anyone fool you into buying a high res LCD.If you want to play in crazy resolutions(which is not really worth it) go with CRT ONLY.Thinker_145

I'm starting to think you are the last CEO of a company who solely makes CRT monitors. No one wants a 100lb monitor on their desk. The 226bw series of Samsung monitors are absolutely amazing. Have you ever seen one in person? I doubt you have, or you'd reconsider your stubborn TN Panel stance. Let the CRT ship sink, it's old technology.

The TC is SOO much worried about losing performance in high resolutions.Obviously advicing him to buy a high res LCD is not a good idea.

The easiest and simplest way for TC is to buy a 19" CRT.And since he currently have a 17"CRT,he would most likely have the desk space for a 19" as well.

Thinker,CRT does have things LCD don't,but LCD also has things CRT don't,why can't you just leave at that?Indestructible2

But it depends on the situation.A CRT would serve the TC better in this case.

can't you guys just answer my q's instead of going to an lcd/crt battle :

--------------

cod 4,everythinh max at 1024x768 : 60 FPS

cod 4 everything max at 1280x1024: 50-55 FPS

Kane&Lynch at max 1024x768: 60 FPS

kane&lynch at max 1280x1024 : 60 FPS again

CMR-DiRT at everthing ultra 1024x768: 32-43 fps

CMR-DiRT at everthng ultra 1280x1024: 22-33 fps

Stranglehold-max 10x7 60 fps

stranglehold-max 12-10 60 fps again sometimes drops at 50

so seems likei won't be loosing too much if i go to an 19' lcd wide?

The 8800GT cant max out gears in 16x12 either.Thinker_145

yeah it can. i max out gears @16x10 with a 3870

maybe that's because you got 2 8800 GTsonuruca

Yeah good point but one 8800gt and a 1680x1050 rez should be able to handle most current games minus crysis cause every rig struggles with that game.

It also depends on your definition of maxing out.Anything below a steady 40+ fps is not maxing out for me.Not that i wont play below 40fps but i wouldnt call it maxed out.Thinker_145

well i get 50 to 60 fps

I have a 8800GT and that exact sam monitor, and I get around 25-30 FPS in Crysis average. :) It's more than decent for this game. What's not decent is anything bellow 15...
