Well Shzylo, couldn't you just imagine seeing land this ingame? I can just picture a snack shack up there. I could imagine it in-game in 5 years and I got a new gaming PC both my desktop and laptop suck, desktop has intel graphics, laptop just has horrible gigahertz (1.3). Don't judge a PC by its clock speed, lol. Why can't I? http://lmgtfy.com/?q=does+clock+speed+matterHeheh, "clock speed does matter for gaming" <-- my reason to judge. Plus I wasn't judging the PC overall, even though I didn't state it. Also I don't ever plan to take it apart to give it a new processor to speed it up because it would be too much of a hassle.

If you run a game in full screen at a different resolution then your desktop size shouldn't matter at all.

Not sure if this is off-topic or not, but wouldn't it cause you to lose some FPS at higher resolutions because it has to render at a "higher resolution"?

When you are running a game full screen at 640x480 then it doesn't matter if your desktop is 1,000,000,000,000x1,000,000,000,000 because it's not rendering. Only the full screen is rendering.

Oh, yes I believe I get it. It doesn't render more, it will just skew the image to the screen (wrong resolution for fullscreen is really disturbing for me).

No. The video card physically outputs a different resolution and your monitor physically renders a different resolution. During that time, your computer is running at a different resolution. Your video card and monitor will support lots of resolutions in full screen. This has nothing at all to do with the desktop resolution except that the desktop had to also be one of those resolutions.

Those backgrounds are actually really cool! Thinking of a good background image to try next

Actually it depends on how your laptop screen/computer screen was built and what resolution they support. So, let's say, 3280x2560 screen resolution. If your laptop/computer screen supported it (Not your computer in general) it should run the same as a computer screen that only supported a max of 1600x900.

You will be affected by fill rate. It takes longer to draw 3280x2560 pixels than it does to draw 1600x900 pixels. Whether the rest of the hardware is faster to make up for it is another story... but for games, higher resolution will always be slower than lower resolution.

I plugged in an HDMI cord to our TV and I could display the game I was playing at a higher resolution than my laptop and it ran the same when it was lower.
