Higher resolution or Higher FPS for better gaming experience?

[JanTemplar]

Well, playing Metro: Last light is a thing on very high and 2X SSAA setting, I'm playing on 1600*900 resolutions and i get give or take, 50fps. Today i used another monitor with 1080p for playing that game on the same setting, i got 35fps. what I'm thinking is why people chose higher resolution over higher FPS? me, i prefer 1600*900 for 50fps, Is it same for you guys? I've kind of disappointed about my new gpu, 780 ti, i though i would handle this sort of settings better.

I would rather have a higher resolution as long as the gameplay fps are good. If the resolution is lower and there is a much better and noticeable difference then stick to the lower resolution.

What? My R9 290X Windforce 3x OC Does way better then that. The GTX 780Ti should be doing better, much better. I play everything on the highest settings at 1080p, the R9 290X has never dropped an average of 70 fps on any game. I play BF4, GTR EVO, Test Drive, Crysis 3, Bioshack, Metro:last night and others.

The GTX 780 is supposed to be getting 60fps on 1080p...the 780Ti should be doing slightly better then that.

so less fps with 780ti :S

This is what I'm getting on this GPU, i don't know what's wrong, because i saw some benchmarks, gtx 780ti did better, this Is what I'm confused! do you guys use 2x ssaa?

 

[unknownofprob]

I play everything on highest settings, that includes 2x ssaa.

 

[JanTemplar]

Did you see any same problems? same graphic cards but different performances that high?

 

[JanTemplar]

There is alot of videos on youtube which GTX 780 ti hit the best, that's why i got this gpu with the higher price

 

[JanTemplar]

And highest setting for metro is 4x ssaa, which is SO HUNGRYYYYYYY

 

[unknownofprob]

wait, I Have it on 4x ssaa, and it still gets over 70fps, just tried it out and is smooth as it can be seen for me, something isn't right with your card or your driver. I was going to get the GTX 780Ti, after seeing reviews, it's GK110 pushed to the max whilst Hawaii is new technology. i plan to game on multi screens shortly and having the 4GBVram and wider bus was my ultimate decider.

-By the way, why don't you OC your GTX 780Ti, the OC capabilities are extreme on that card and it doesn't get that hot when it is done in a non-excessive way, the OC is much better then the R9 290X.

there is no mention about ssaa! when if i turn that off, I'll get more than 70fps or, 1x, around 60fps

It technically is but it's hit and miss depending on the driver and such. The R9 290X does better in BF4 as frostbite 3 is AMD's software and that runs the game, AMD card's benefit a lot in that game.

 

[JanTemplar]

I'm sad...

 

[Shocking777]

Your full spec?

 

[cemerian]

I'm sad...

what are rest of your system specs?

My card get's just over the review done, so it should be tested at 4x ssaa, I do have the custom cooled model in uber mode so that can explain the higher fps over the one tested.

Equipment: CPU: core i7, 4770k, 3.5GHz and Cooler Silver Arrow SBE Extreme
Graphic card : Asus GTX 780 Ti
Motherboard : Asus Z87 Deluxe
Memory : 2*4 GB Vengeance DDR3, 2133
1600*900 resolution.
Is there anything else which is important?

 

[NorthernIrish]

I always play on 1920x1080 res now but fps is very important i always aim for 60fps, if i dont get 60 i tweak with the settings until i get a nice stale 60. but thats just personal pref.

 

[nashdes001]

i guess something is wrong with ur gpu.

 

[JanTemplar]

My problem is, I'm so new to hardware that i couldn't set a system right!
I never tweak or anything, It's always on driver and default

If that's your rig, OC your GPU and update on how much better the FPS is. Your GTX 780Ti is seriously not doing as well as it should.

 

[JanTemplar]

Wow, best solution was a miss click , never mind, how can i figure out what's wrong with my gpu? is there any software that i can compare my gpu to other's same card?

 

[unknownofprob]

What brand of GTX 780Ti do you have?

 

[nashdes001]

take out ur gpu and reinsert it and latest driver by nvidia do a clean installation
