Does screen size (not res) effect fps?..

[adamknox]

Ive allways thought it wouldnt matter. for example if ran the same system with the same game settings on a 24" and a 50" screen would get the same fps if both screens were at the same res. I only ever belived that fps would drop if the res was raised not the screen size too. Is this true??

24" or 50" they both have the same res which means they are displaying the same number of pixels so the gfx card isnt redering any more pixels on a 50" than a 24"

Its a valid question, and the OP just wanted to re-assure himself of his believe (Imho). Anyway as long as the resolution is the same, the work on the GPU/CPU is unchanged regardless of the phyiscal screen size. Infact many 24inch screens are 1920x1200, while a lot of TV based "big screens" are 1920x1080, so slightly less pixels for the GPU to deal with
