# 1440x1080 Resolution FPS Boost

#### You:
i have 2560x1440 monitor with nvidia rtx 5070 ti and intel i7 12k cpu will running 1440x1080 res on rust imporve fps

#### ChatGPT:
Yes - running **1440×1080 (stretched or 4:3)** on your 2560×1440 monitor *will increase FPS* in **Rust**, but the improvement might not be as big as you expect given your hardware.

Here’s the realistic breakdown:

### 🔧 Why FPS increases

Lowering resolution reduces the number of pixels your GPU renders:

- 2560×1440 = \~3.7 million pixels
- 1440×1080 = \~1.55 million pixels

That’s **over 50% fewer pixels**, so your **NVIDIA GPU** has less work → higher FPS.

### ⚠️ But your system matters

With:

- RTX 5070 Ti
- Intel i7 12th gen

You’re likely already in a situation where **Rust is CPU-heavy**, not GPU-limited.

👉 Rust is known for:

- heavy CPU usage (especially in crowded servers, bases, fights)
- inconsistent optimization

So:

- If you're **GPU-bound** → resolution drop = noticeable FPS boost
- If you're **CPU-bound** → small or almost no FPS gain

---

### 🎯 What you’ll actually see

- **Best case:** +20-40 FPS (GPU-limited scenes, open areas)
- **Common case:** +5-15 FPS
- **Worst case:** almost no change (busy servers, large bases)

---

### 👁️ Trade-offs

Running 1440×1080 on a 1440p monitor:

- ❌ blurrier image (especially stretched)
- ❌ worse visibility at distance
- ✅ slightly higher FPS
- ✅ sometimes easier to spot players (bigger models if stretched)

---

### 🧠 Better optimization tips (more effective than resolution)

Instead of dropping resolution, try:

- Lower **shadow quality** (big FPS gain)
- Lower **draw distance**
- Turn down **tree meshes / terrain quality**
- Use **DLSS / FSR** if available
- Close background CPU-heavy apps

---

### 🟢 Bottom line

Yes, it helps - but with your setup, **resolution isn’t the main bottleneck**. You’ll likely get **some FPS gain, not a massive one**.

If you want, tell me your current FPS and settings - I can suggest a setup that gives you the best performance *without ruining visuals*.
