I've been running 3x 1920 x 1080 side by side in portrait since I started this game.  A single 780 ti runs all 3 just fine but sometimes I wonder if lesser resolution may be better for this game. 

 

My thought process being, the screens look fine cosmetically but is it possible there's lag in there not visible.  No bezels blocking site, though I've got them overlapping so its hardly noticeable and does give like a bonus mech feel. 

 

Anyone go from a 3 monitor setup to a single and end up liking it better?

resolution isnt that big a deal for me. hz means the world to me. once you go 144hz you never go back. the only thing that can compete with it is life itself. if you decide to get a new monitor fine one thats atleast 120hz. 780ti you should be getting 100fps+ in hawken. hawken is caped at 122fps max by default but you can raise it in the ini files. i have mine set to 142 max fps. more than that and i can see pretty obvious screen tearing which is wierd cause my other games dont have that problem. also make sure you have capped smooth framerate turned on in the video settings. it does the complete oposite of what it says so turning it on enables unlimited fps. turning it off caps the game at 90fps. for the fps counter hitf5 and type stat fps

I've got a gtx 970 and I'm only being able to get around 80 fps which just drops to like 60 in fights.

 

Its usually around 70 fps for maps like Prosk too

The game is going to 'look' best at the optimal resolution for your monitor.  However, if your rig or GPU are a little below max spec for Hawken, you could improve the performance of the game some with a lower resolution.


To be serious for a moment this is just a joke

Can you explain to my computer what 60 FPS is? It doesn't know how to do that.

 

I mean, I'm not an FPS fuzzy bunny but some consistency would be nice.

True, I do prefer consistency over higher frames, wouldn't mind a constant 45 FPS even in a 16 man server with everyone blowing up
