Hi everybody I could use some help with deciding if I should buy a new monitor.
I currently have a pretty old 1680x1050p 22" monitor ( DVI-D Cable ) and I'm considering to upgrade to a new one...
I'm using a PC with:
- Intel i3 4130
- ASUS GTX 750 Ti OC 2GB GDDR5
- ASUS H81M-C MOBO
- 8GB DDR3 1600 mHz

Is it worth to spend about $200 for a 1920x1080p 24" monitor?
How much performance drop would I experience?
Would I notice a difference in the displays?
So yeah generally is it worth getting a new monitor or should I stick with my old one?
Thanks in advance ;)

you'll get approx. 17% reduction in performance. 1680 monitors were the standard 16:10 monitors before 16:9 came along. Basically nearly same vertical resolution, but less horizontal, making them more narrow. I use 3 of them (they were only $65 each) which works very nicely.

on the contrary, you will experience fpl loss.! the higher the resolution the more demanding games become.! however if you seek better image quality consider these as a great option,as 1080p is pretty common for today standards. you dont have to spend 200$

Monitor: BenQ GL2460HM 60Hz 24.0" Monitor ($149.99 @ Amazon)
Total: $149.99
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available

All depends on what he is doing/playing chris987. If he's playing AAA title games he'll probably see a drop in FPS. If he's playing stuff on old game engines he may not notice a thing.

There isn't really a way to guarantee either way since we know nothing about what he is doing.

''performance drop'' refers to gaming, at least that is what i understand. also the pc is rather new so i believe he is involved in gaming with newer titles.!

That exact monitor in my country costs about $240 ( I paid about $900 for my PC )
Judging by the other comments I don't think its worth buying it....
Thanks anyways ;)

There will always be a performance drop if more pixels are being rendered. Its only a question of whether or not that difference will fall under 60 FPS.

1680 * 1050 = 1.764 million pixels
1920 * 1080 = 2.073 million pixels

There will be 15% more pixels being rendered in every frame so as a very rough guess, you can expect to take a performance hit of about 15%. That can probably be negated mostly by dropping a few settings lower. The GTX 750 Ti is still fairly capable at 1080p, but it may be cutting it sorta close in some titles.
