900p FPS Difference from 1080p

[Champion-Craig]

So I have decided my pc specs again had to change the gpu from the 760 to a 660 (budget reasons but I can still play games with nice textures and nice frame rates). ALL the benchmarks I have seen are 1080p for the GTX 660, but the monitor i'm acquiring is a Samung 23inch  1600x900 whats the fps improvement I can see? And just for the fact I'm not buying a 1080p monitor.Thanks in advance

Games i'm gonna be playing the heck out of:

- Star Wars the Old Republic

- Battlefield 4

- Planetside 2

Here are the Parts i'm buying (and getting for Christmas ) if you want to know:

GPU -EVGA Geforce GTX 660 Superclocked

CPU- AMD FX 8350 Vishera (AM3+ Socket)

Motherboard: ASUS M5A97 R2.0 

RAM- Patriot Viper Xtreme 4GB Desktop Memory Module  X 2 = 8GB of Ram

HD- Western Digital Black Hard Drive 1TB 

Disk Drive- Asus DRW-24B1ST 24X Internal DVD Burner

PSU - Corsair CX 600

Case: Corsair 200R

Higher resolution with lower settings will look better than higher settings at lower resolution, especially on a 900p 23inch display. I didn't even know they made 900p 23 inch monitors.

What is your budget, and it will most likely run fine

Its from like 2009-2010 but it gets the job done.

I was $60 over my comfortable price area, ($250 gpu budget, lowered to $200 because of Tax and shipping) so I changed it. I'm not to concerned though, as long I can play games with High-Ultra Settings heck even Medium depending on the game I'm happy.

What is your overall budget, you will get an unbalanced build if you do it that way

Move to 7850, 7870, 7950 or R(whatever) equivalence, plain 660 is meh. 

Seagate Barracuda is cheaper and performs similarly

Do you really need an ODD drive?

Buy an 8320 instead of an 8350, used saved money for better parts.

I'm Nvidia GPU Fan and I was going to buy the FX 8320 but decided to get the FX 8350 for the extra power, if you want you could link me to the equivalent seagate hard drive to the Western Digital Black Edition 1TB.

My build seems fine to me. What so much better planned

[TheMissxu]

To your title, you should see about a 44% increase in FPS.

[hehehehhehehehe]

280x is significantly faster then the GTX 660...

Yours was unbalanced and mine will give quite a but more performance

Has a 120gb ssd and 2tb of storage, without sacrificing any features what so ever, and of equivalent build quality. Only $8 more. 

 

@CoolBeans pretty hard to beat that ey  

[SkilledRebuilds]

Who can argue with more performance per dollar

Nice.

Does that include the 13% tax? 937.97  x 1.13 = $1059 + Shipping individual in Canada, probably worth legit around $50-100 worth of shipping in there.

Dunno man, coolbeans and I both used the site and country to make it. You decide which is more important for an $8 difference between them

 

A system without an ssd that performs the same as one of a $400 at the desktop

or a system with an ssd that will perform like a $1000 system at the desktop

 

I'm talking more than apple and oranges here.

My brain has so many things going through it.  But no matter what the GTX 660 and the FX 8350 from the beginning will out perform my terrible laptop

That's not the right mentality. Leave your ego at the door and make purchasing decisions based on facts and optimal performance for your money.
