You shouldn't see too much of a performance increase going from 1600x900 to 1080p, but it's up to you as to whether or not the extra pixels are worth it.

As the above person said, it's personal preference in terms of will the extra resolution will be worth it. When i moved from 720p to 1080p, i did notice the difference and for me was worth it; however i'm on a 23" screen and sit pretty close up... So it just depends on your situation and size of monitor whether or not it will be worth it. You shouldn't see a huge frame rate drop, though it will certainly be slightly lower. I also have an R9 270 0C

You will get the best image quality playing at your monitor's native resolution.

If your current monitor maxes out at 1600x900 (1.44m pixels) and you are already getting frame drops, I would not go up to 1920x1080 (2.07m pixels).

I would try and see what is causing the frame drops first.

Depends on the games, mostly. Current high-end games usually need at least a R9 280 to max out at 1080p these days, but if you're playing older games, you may still be able to.
