Screen resolution?

Anyway, it all depends on the game. People seem to think that the data in your computer is processed in a linear fashion... that everything that goes through the GPU has gone through the CPU first. It's not like that. Sure, one part might hold back performance, but not all the time in all situations.

All you can ask really are questions like, "If I had this setup and wanted to get better frame rates in Fallout 3 @ 1920x1050, what would I upgrade?"

The answer would be different if you asked, "How can I get smoother gameplay in SC2 at 1680x1020, on large maps?"
