I've drooled over a 24" dell widescreen lcd long enough and I finally have the bucks. The time is right with the 15% off + 10% with a stackable coupon from eBay, too. I currently have an lcd running 1280 x 1024 and I achieve framerates from 100-200 fps in CS:S depending on level and number of players, etc. Anyway, I'm wondering if I will still be able to play this game above 60 fps with at least medium detail. I figure going from my current monitor to 1920 x 1200 will be a 75% increase in pixels. Does this mean a 75% drop in fps? Another possibility is to game at 1600 x 1200 which is 45% more area and thus a 45% drop? 45% less fps is very livable considering how high my rates are now, and I don't mind the black borders.
What do you guys think?
(And yes of course I plan on upgrading my card, but not for at least another 6 months. That is why I want to make sure I can play cs in the meantime. )
