I recent got a new monitor and my fps has dropped more than half. I used to play Left 4 Dead (1280x1024) with around an average 100-150fps and now it's 50fps and lower. I recently did a clean install of Vista and it didn't make a difference, everything is up to date. It ain't like this for L4D it's the same with all games.
I was reading around before I bought the monitor and people with 1920x1080 resolution reported around a 20-30fps drop.

Stop whining. 50-100 FPS is [b]VERY[/b] acceptable.
Higher resolution means higher strain on your components. Though i have a higher fps in L4D and my stuff ain't even that good. (I'm also running 1920x1080.)
Well duh it's a way higher resolution
Plus it's just 50 FPS nothing bad about that

That's what happens when you increase your resolution as it makes more pixels for your computer to calculate.
Bigger rez = more pixels to render = fps drop.

Where did I say 50-100? I said 50fps and lower. And 50-100fps is a big drop. And fuck off i'm not whining i'm annoyed.
Are you retarded
Of course the framerate is going to drop, that's a large increase in resolution.
1280x1024=1310720 pixels
1920x1080=2073600 pixels

17fps drop. And it's only a 31fps drop with AA and AF. I only run 4X AA and AF and loosing alot more fps.
What did you expect? For it to remain the same?

turn off AA

but you can maximize AF, it doesn't impact performance hardly at all on modern cards
[QUOTE=Panda X;16466803]What did you expect? For it to remain the same?[/QUOTE]
Wait what? I'm expecting it to not be 50-100fps drop in most games. I don't expect it to be the same I was aware I was going to have an fps drop but not as big as that. All the benchmark tests ive seen have been 30-40fps drop not 50-100fps.

Wow you found me out, where would the world be without you? Do you honestly think i'm a troll? Story is I get a new monitor and notice my fps has more than halfed, I check benchmarks and see that its nowhere near as much as i'm loosing so I make a thread to maybe see why or maybe a setting or something I have enabled which isn't helping.
Tone down anti-ailising or turn it off, in a few games it's not needed at a res like that.

The reason your FPS halfed was because you doubled the amount of pixels rendered per frame, simple as that.
Why is 50 fps bad in the first place? Completely playable. Also, do the above suggestions if it's such a big deal.
You trolling or very stupid OP
OP, are you using insane amounts of AA? Make sure you have box filter selected in your CCC AA settings, the others might be too much for your card at that resolution. Even better, set AA to application controlled. Try running at different levels of AA/no AA to see how much difference it makes.
Edit: What's with all the people flaming the OP? It's Only about a 50% increase in resolution, but he has [b]3 times[/b] less fps now.

Anti-alias is always needed! ALWAYS!!!
OP it's probably your CPU that's limiting you, I have a lower tier GPU than you but about the same CPU and I get around the same FPS at around the same resolution. Try overclocking if you want to see better performance.

To be specific, I've got an E8400 @ 3.6GHz, an 8800GT 512MB, and a 1920x1200 monitor and I get around 50-60 fps in L4D. So it's almost certainly your CPU. IIRC Valve games are heavily CPU dependent, so I'm not surprised.
[QUOTE=nVidia;16495842]Anti-alias is always needed! ALWAYS!!![/QUOTE]
No, with his monitors res he should see little to no jaggies, and AA takes a huge toll on performance.

Im glad you know what you are talking about. At any res you see jaggies unless you on like a 6" monitor at 1920 x 1200.
I increased my resolution substantially and my fps has dropped?!
[QUOTE=nVidia;16495842]Anti-alias is always needed! ALWAYS!!![/QUOTE]
I never use AA anyway, even when running gmod on 800 x 600.
I have a 1920x1080 23" and there is a major different between 16x AA and no AA. You do see jaggies with a 1920x1080, stop saying you don't.
Also, this guy has a legitimate problem. When I switched from a 1280x1024 to a 1920x1080, my FPS went down 20 or so in source games. I think it's his CPU because I have a Q6600 and I was barely effected.

I rated you bad reading because he said 50fps and lower.

Which is exactly why I get pretty much the same FPS with and without AA on 1920x1080?

I agree, I always turn up the AA as far as possible because there [b]is[/b] a difference at that resolution.

It probably makes more of a difference in more graphically intensive games.
