CoX support 1920 x 1080 resolution?

So I'm looking at getting a new monitor and the one I've chosen is a 24" (16:9) aspect ratio with a resolution of 1920 X 1080. Does City of support this or will I be forced to play at a different resolution? Would really like to know before buying since this is the game I mostly play .

Other than the loading screens, yes, it will support 1920x1080 (or higher).

Loading screens are either stretched or are boxed (black bars on the side).

Triumph: White Succubus: 50 Ill/Emp/PF Snow Globe: 50 Ice/FF/Ice Strobe: 50 PB Shi Otomi: 50 Ninja/Ninjistu/GW Stalker My other characters

Yes it will but as the resolution goes up, the amount of GPU power needed to maintain the same frame rate will also go up.

Translation, if you were playing at 1280x1024 expect your frame rate to drop going to 1920x1080 (58% more pixels per frame) at the same graphic game settings unless you already had a really decent video card or your game settings weren't all that high to begin with.

You'll be fine. If you turn all the bells and whistles all the way to eleven, you'll see lagging/tearing/oddities, but dial back a notch or two and you'll scream along.

Yes Equality_NA, you should be reasonably fine. It's just that some people don't equate an improvement in resolution means the video card needs to work harder. Most simply think along the line of moving a console from one TV to another where TV size doesn't matter because the game runs at a fixed resolution regardless. Just don't go nuts with AA/AF settings right away.

In PC gaming a larger monitor usually means a higher resolution (especially when using an HDTV as your monitor) and then we get "why did my frame rate plummet" posts because their existing video card wasn't powerful enough for the new resolution. Just wanted to make sure you went into this with your eyes open.

Also just because Crysis 2 plays at a high frame rate doesn't mean anything. All game engines are different and CoH/V isn't necessarily optimized for maximum frame rate. Also CoH/V uses OpenGL while Crysis 2 uses Dx9 or Dx11 if you use that patch.

One important thing about CoH and widescreen resolutions : it shows less vertically rather than more horizontally. So, the bigger the ratio, the further you'll have to zoom out to keep the same amount of stuff on screen than you had before.

It's probably not a big deal if you were already on a widescreen, and it's perfectly playable regardless, but I remember it took me a few weeks to adapt going from a 1280x1024 screen to 1680x1050.
