Hello,
I apologize if this is a stupid question, but I hope someone can help explain an issue I am having. I have a 27"in monitor with a resolution of 2560x1440. While participating in PVE content and dungeons, my fps is generally 85+ on ultra settings. However, when I participate in large scale Cyrodiil battles, I generally need to lower my settings in order to maintain higher frame rates. Sometimes, even with the lowered settings, it is a really miserable experience in terms of fps drops and stutter while playing at 2560x1440 resolution. I have tried switching my resolution to 1920x1080, but honestly, I really do not get much improvement at the lower resolution, which seems strange to me. However, when I connect my old 24" inch monitor with a native 1920x1080 resolution, use the exact same in-game settings, and run the same content, I see considerably better fps and performance.
My question is as follows: why am I getting better fps on the 24" inch monitor at 1920x1080 than on the 27"inch at 1920x1080? I have always understood that monitor size should not affect fps if playing at the same resolution. Am I missing something here? Any suggestions/thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks much for your time!
