1080P vs 1200P Peformance Difference?

[celpas]

I am upgrading from a Dell S409W to a Dell U2412M.However my current monitor has a rez of 1920X1080p whereas the u2412 has 1200p.How much fps drop can I expect with the additional 120 pixels?I have a Radeon 7850 2GB GDDR5.
On a sidenote,since I am upgrading from a 2009 TN panel monitor to a IPS will the u2412 have significantly better image quality?


Please don't suggest 120hz monitors or the like as they are meaningless coz I wont get 120 fps in anyway since I like playing at ultra with 48 avg fps.lol

Some 3 to 6 fps drop not more.....

It's only another 10% more pixels, the performance difference will be near non existent. For comparison, 1440p has another 75% more pixels over 1080p, but at theres normally only a 30-40% FPS drop, worst case scenario.

The Dell U2412 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005JN9310/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B005JN9310&linkCode=as2&tag=b0b929-20 would be a very nice monitor to get and you won't see a big performance difference. You will see a significant difference in the picture quality over the S409W.

Yea going from a tn or tft to a ips/pls is a +

A 1920x1200 resolution monitor has 11% more pixels than a 1920x1080 resolution monitor. Therefore at worse, you will see a 11% drop in performance. However, in reality resolution and performance do not move at a 1:1 ratio. Meaning the performance drop will be less than 11% and will vary for each game. I would say you will get a 5% or 6% drop in performance.

Therefore, if you are going to by a 1200p monitor and you look at benchmark reviews for a game at 1080p, then simply knock off 5% or 6% to estimate the difference. For example, Test Rig #1 get 56 FPS on game ABC with a 1080p monitor. For a 1200p monitor simply subtract 5% of 56 to get an estimate, or multiply 56 by 0.95 to get the same result.
