I have a monitor that its resolution is 1440X900 resolution and i played many games on it but now i want to play on the 1920X1080 res.,i want to try it and see the difference between them but i want to ask some questions
If i played on the 1080p will the game's FPS drob down strongly??
Will be there a big difference between the two resolution(1440X900 & 1920X1080) or not??
The only thing that i'm afraid from it is the game's FPS.i fear that if i played on 1920X1080 the FPS drob down

My PC
Intel core i5 3340,3.1 GHz
GTX 960 WINDFORE 2X OC 2 GB
RAM:8GB
WINDOWS 10

If your monitor is only 1440 x 900 you will not want to run at 1920 x 1080 anyway.

1. 1440 x 900 is 16:9(taller than 16:9). You either have black bars or a distorted image.
2. Without the extra pixels you may not see the difference you want and text in Windows will not look good.

If you are just trying to see what your video card performs like for a test you can add a custom resolution(add 1920 x 1200 instead since that is 16:10) or use DSR(dynamic super resolution.)

If you are happy with your current setup, I would just keep using it as is.

Please see this review to give you an idea of the performance difference(the review has multiple games to compare)

While it does not have 1440 x 900. it has the closest 16:9 resolution to it.

The total number of pixels in a screen is a rough guide to frame rates

1440 x 900 = 1.29 Mp
1920 x 1080 = 2.07 Mp

Since each pixel has to be rendered by the graphics power you have then you can expect a drop in frame rates to around 60% of what you get now .
This is only an approximation however.

Often you find that by lowering game details to get back some of the lost fps the image still looks way better anyway
