fps A newbie question about fps

[Antinomy9]

Does having an ultrawide display affect the performance? Is 1080p on a 21:9 same as a 16:9? Will the same gpu provide the same performance for both the resolution cases   In other words ,did i mess up getting a 25 inch 2560:1080 for gaming; ( in warzone with a 2070/ r5 3600 i get 105ish fps on low using the 25 inch)

1080p on a 21:9 doesn't exist. 1080p stands for 1920*1080p so if the monitor is 2560*1080 or something it's not 1080p. Also yes the higher your resolution the bigger an impact it will have on performance.

Hi again! I know that the resolution is 1920*1080 but the actual quality of the picture is almost the same  from 2560*1080 to 1920*1080 you just get mor pixel lengthwise i believe! But either way it affects performance. Good to know thanks dude very helpful info both here an on cooling ! Appreciate ya!

What @jaslionsays is correct, but with these settings (all on low) you may be CPU-limited rather than GPU-limited. A higher resolution screen is more taxing on the GPU, but not the CPU. So in CPU-bound scenarios, the resolution of the monitor makes no difference. You can use GPU-Z or other monitoring software to check the utilization of your GPU while you are in-game. If it is less than 95-100%, then the higher resolution of your monitor is likely making no difference to your FPS.

Ok ok i didn't think r5 3600 would bottleneck a  2070 but ok i don't think it even gets close to 90% but i could be wrong. I know for a fact that cpu work bellow 50% tho

Well, the problem with a 25" 2560*1080p display is that it's going to be barely 10 inches tall. It'll be like having an extra wide laptop display. Keep it close enough to get immersive peripheral vision because you'll have your nose in the pixels. Keep it far enough that you can't discern individual pixels, and it'll be a little narrow strip occupying very little of your FOV.

There is always a "bottleneck". It is impossible for every component to be always fully utilized. Whether the limiting factor is your CPU or your GPU in any particular game depends entirely on the game engine, and the settings that you choose to use, and can change from one rendered frame to the next.

 

Any CPU can "bottleneck" any GPU and vice versa under the right circumstances.

I got it 150€ and it was the most i could get for that money at the time so i cant complain much. I blew alla my budget on the pc it self , didn't even have money for peripherals at the time. Its a Good monitor dont get me wrong but if i managed my budget a bit  better I would have a 144 hz for not much more.

In modern games with modern resolutions, the CPU will likely not be the bottleneck with the 20 series, it may be the case with some 30 series cards, but not with the 20 series, now though if we are talking about games. It's generally with older games such as ones from the early 2010s and older as well with 1366X768 or lower resolutions that we generally start to see this.

Is the return window up? You could still do it.

No its been a couple of months, besides, i am planning on getting one more display and using that as a secondary!
