System: GPU Nvidea GeForce GT440
CPU AMD FX-8320
RAM 4gb
OS Windows 7 (64)

I have that pc for about 4-6 months now and I've noticed that with few exeptions my games run worse than they used to my older system, I have the latest gpu driver updates. I run statistics that for example say that i can run fallout 3 on full and yet on low settings it runs with 15 fps max sometimes droping to 9. I also got a bigger monitor 27" I don't know if it's relevant. If any of you have any idea I whould be grateful and please forgive my poor English. Thank you in advance

The Gt440 is a dx9 card, with comparitively low performance. You are asking it to play a dx11 game that has minimum requirements of a gtx6 series gpu. Not only does your tank have a bb-gunfor a main cannon, you are using paper bullets. Sorry, but in order to play fall out 3 at playable frames, you'll need a much more powerful gpu.

Your 27" monitor is still 1080p probably, which is intrinsically the same as a 14" 1080p monitor. Same amount of pixels, they are just larger pixels on your screen.

First of all WOW you are quick :) thanks!and yes I suspected as mutch but didn't expect recuction in performance comparing to my old system. I just don't want to spend more money and find out that it was something else like cause of the bigger monitor or low ram..

4gb is plenty for gaming.

size of the screen does not matter, the resolution does. If you jump in resolution you need to jump in card strength. Resolution is the biggest draw on a card. At 1080p you should aim for a 270x minimum, ideally 770 or 280x
