Current Events > I have a PC related question

(+) Yeah! (+)

I understand that if you have a 1440p monitor and a PC that isn't quite powerful enough you will get okay but nowhere near what it could have been performance. My question is does this pertain to reading online or watching a video, will they suffer as well or can they still be powered fully even if the PC isn't quite up to par?

So as long as I don't have a bunch of tabs open everything from Microsoft documents to YouTube videos will be in 1440p? Does that mean that semi-graphically intense video games are more taxing than any movie ever made?

So theres your resolution and your frame rate. How good is the picture and how many times per second do we have to draw it. A less powerful computer can still have a higher resolution but needs a lower frame rate. Reading web pages is easy because there isnt nearly as much thinking needed. Video is a bit more because it has to draw a pretty picture but is being told what to draw versus a video game where it has to calculate what to draw too.
