Hookig a Monitor upto a Laptop

[farley1981]

Hey all,

The misses is getting me the MSI GX660 laptop

But what i would like to know is When i'm not at college using my laptop and i come home if i plug it in to a 23" monitor and play games, like Global Agenda, WOW, GW2 (when it comes out), the new star wars game (when it comes out)
How much FPS would i be losing by using a monitor?

On my desktop that now has broken down i was using a 28" monitor i know is would be to much for the laptop so i'm selling that to get a 22" or 23" for it.

If this is a major loss in FPS would it really be worth using the monitor at all?

Thanks
Rob

The FPS will depend on the resolution you run the monitor at, not the resolution it's capable of.

ok say This monitor and i ran it at full rez.

Acer H233H
Resolution: 1920x1080

A very quick look at the laptop specs seems to show it also has a 1920x1080 screen.

Same resolution = same peformance.

RTFM!
