 |
|
I was testing FPS in games for my laptop, i went to 1280x720, rather than original 1366x768. and i noticed they both run equally at 30 fps, so my conclusion is there really isnt, what do you guys have to say about this.

I'm not sure what you mean?
Do you mean you can't see the difference between your native resolution and the lower one?
Or did you expect you to get a better framerate by lowering the resolution? Well I know back in the day, that trick used to work to get CS 1.6 (Original Counter Strike) playing better for me on my shitty old rig I had back then! 
But these days it seems using your native resolution gives better results! Plus you have more room on your screen when you use your highest resolution! (native resolution)

It could simply be limited at 30fps.

Well resolution doesn't matter if you don't change the FOV, because the textures in the game are still the same size, unless you also change the textures to higher quality as well.
at resolutions that low, you may not want 90 FOV anyways. Plus what cryoma said, the game could be locked to 30fps.
Try going from 1080p to 4k and tell us that resolution doesn't matter. Because it does, and will drop the frame rate in half if not more.

It's not.
