will a new monitor make my games lag?

dolan mcdu

I have a very crappy 12 inch 1024x760 monitor from 2005 and i want to switch to a 25 inch 1920x1080 monitor...

My graphics card is GTX GForce 550 TI and i just want to know if switching will make my games lag

Answer
you configuration seems a little... Heteroclit doesn't it?
screen from 2005, video card from 2010... video gaming is a little more then only video card & screen; CPU plays quite an important role as well
if you have a Pentium II® from 2005 or a core2duo (or even quad) from 2010 is going to play an important role as well

Pentium II? no good unless you limit yourself to 2005 games, of course

Core2? no problemo at least for 2010 games (version)

either way, the 550 is only the middle range and will NOT handle high details in HD (except for very old games)
you will either have to limit details & all to lowish levels or limit the resolution (which isn't nice on LCDs)
or update your video card as well, of course...
but then the CPU will become critical as well & unless you have a (powerful) CPU from 2010, it will require upgrade as well...

What are pros and cons of gaming desktops vs gaming laptops?

gaming monitor lag image

Mason M

I would like pros and cons of both. At the end tell me which one is better for me. Probably 400-700 price range and very light gaming. 4 games as of now but may try more. Star Wars the Old Republic (when it comes out), Star Wars KOTOR2, Star Wars Empirexat War, and Zoo Tycoon complete collection. May try more though but not a huge PC fan but im startin to get into it.

Answer
Desktop
Pros: Fast, Reliable (with a steady power source), Great amounts of storage vs pricing, Good Graphics, and everything about it is externally plugged into it (no track pad/built in keyboard), and you have the option to upgrade to better parts (more RAM, better CPU, better graphics card etc.)
Cons: It's not portable, lag can still hit you hard with some higher end spec games, and generally while everything can be externally plugged into (mouse, keyboard, speakers, monitor etc.) you can do this with a laptop as well. Also, if you lose power suddenly, there goes your games current state, back to your most recent save (or further depending on how bad the crash is.)
Laptop
Pros: Portable, Can survive with no power source long enough to save a game.
Cons: Graphics aren't really meant for gaming, generally slower, and unless you buy external devices (keyboard, mouse etc.) you have a set screen size and no mouse, making gaming a pain. All the parts are pretty standard, so you can't change them out, meaning whatever it can run, it can run. And what it can't, it can't. I think the only interchangeable part in my laptop is the RAM and HD, so it's pretty set on graphics and sound limitations.

But, based on the games you've listed, for 400 - 700, either will be fine really. The only game you may have problems running is Star Wars the Old Republic, as it's not out yet, and probably will have high end requirements that most laptops won't meet (I'm on a 600 dollar laptop, an acer, and I can run most games, even things like Oblivion, Minecraft and several other 'high end' games with little to no lag on default settings.) But, if you're looking for more for you money, go with a desktop, as you can always upgrade them later on.

Is it possible to build a gaming pc for under a grand?

Rachel

Is it possible to build a gaming pc for under a grand? This computer will be used from graphic design/multimedia (flash video creation, photoshop, etc.) It will also be playing games such as WoW, Portal 2, and maybe even Crysis 2. Any recommendation on how this could be done would be greatly appreciated. If you believe the system I'm looking for will cost over 1,000 please explain why. And thank you!

Answer
Yes, It is, IF you choose the right spec and build it your self. And If by "under a grand" you mean under 1000 $, here's my recommendation :

AMD Phenom II X4 955 3,2 ghz
MoBo Biostar TA890GXB
HDD 1TB WD
RAM DDR3 2x2 GB
XFX HD6850 GPU
PSU CORSAIR pure 600W

In total, it's about 8.2 million rupiahs....roughly US$950, includes the chassis, DVD Drive, logitech Mouse+Keyboard & logitech Speaker. US$1070 with windows 7 home premium. (Excluding the Monitor)

Yeah maybe that price is a bit...high, but you'll be able to play heavy games like crysis 2 on full HD and high settings without lags or something like that.

Also, these I got these price from a local store here in Indonesia. You might be able to find cheaper ones online, or where you live.

How can I make my monitor work normally for a video game?

Jordan

Hi, I have a 22.5 Inch monitor that I use for my laptop that I hook up to dual screen. I want too play World of Warcraft on it. It works fine and all, but when im on the screen kinda is delayed somewhat. Like when I move my camera it feels like it is really slow and just harder to control then my normal screen. I think it might be a resolution type deal. Can anyone help me out?

Answer
That would be input lag, not really much you can usually do about it.
If theres any post processing effects on the display then turn them off (though usually you only find them in TVs)
definetely set resolution to the maximum of the monitor (or the scaling chip has to scale it before it is displayed)
other than that there aint anything else to do, if thats still not to your satisfaction then you either gotta deal with it or get a new monitor with less input lag.


oh and try setting the refresh rate to 60 if you have it on 75Hz for some monitors with pixel overvolting to reduce the response time 75Hz really messes things up.
