Jason Kaye 961584 Posted July 7, 2011 at 07:19 AM Posted July 7, 2011 at 07:19 AM So I just bought a computer I configured that's rated at 109fps on a monitor that's 1920x1200 Im just curious if my current monitor's highest output is 1440x900 do I need a new monitor for my simulator to look "good" or does the 1920x1200 and etc not effect this part?

Wycliffe Barrett Posted July 7, 2011 at 07:39 AM Posted July 7, 2011 at 07:39 AM You'll be fine. If you have the money for a new monitor go and buy one but i wouldn't worry to much about it. Only thing is make sure you set the resolution in the sim to the same as the monitor.

Kyle Rodgers 910155 Posted July 7, 2011 at 12:29 PM Posted July 7, 2011 at 12:29 PM Not to make this too complicated, but your current monitor really isn't the issue. Rather, the issue is your video card. Your video card's highest output will be the highest output for the new monitor. Generally, when looking for monitors, you want to find one that has a native resolution closest to the resolution you are going to be using, set through the control panel. In the end, though, again, your highest res will be the highest res available on your video card. From there, just make sure to set FS to the same resolution in the settings.

Wade Williams 877539 Posted July 7, 2011 at 06:57 PM Posted July 7, 2011 at 06:57 PM Just FYI, anything over about 60fps is pretty much "gravy." In fact, I've run sims at 20 fps that looked just fine. Obviously the more horsepower the better when money isn't an issue, but if you're at 70 fps, you don't have to be sweating how you're going to find money to get to 100 fps.

Brian Freeman 1137283 Posted July 8, 2011 at 07:25 PM Posted July 8, 2011 at 07:25 PM Yep, I think the human eye is unable to detect anything higher than 30fps. Of course, that doesn't stop us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell that to the stutter and lack of motion smoothness you tend to notice below 50-60FPS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
