I hear there is a performance hit of up to 20% to use Nvidia 1:1 scaling. For me the whole point of 1:1 scaling is as an insurance policy against games taxing the system and forcing me back to 1280x1024.

Is the penalty true? If so what if the panel implements the 1:1?

Any thoughts? As an aside, I think its rediculous that so few panels have a feature so obviously required - especially for older games. Frustrating!
 
I've never heard that there is a performance penalty for using display adaptor scaling...

But if that's the case using the panel to do aspect ratio correct scaling wouldn't result in such a loss in performance.
 
I think 1:1 scaling needs more attention in this forum. I don't think ATI takes it seriously and that annoys me. I don't think the manufacturers of widescreen panels are concerned about it and that annoys me even more!

As far as I know there are few panels that support it. Maybe we should compile a list? Hell I only know 2!

The new gateway 24 incher is suppose to be 1 to 1. I'm trying to buy one now but I don't want to use my plastic and gateway.com is the only place that has them....bah :mad:
 
This is a new one for me....source for this alleged "20% performance hit"?
 
20% is too much.. i really don´t think it that high if there is any performance hit at all.

I couldn´t do PM on 4:3 format but i did from WS and they didn´t seem to have a hit at all... preatty smooth actually.

I just wich ATI fix the PM soon!.. i hate playing Streched games :(

But why not 1:1 in the display? How hard can it be?

If it were simple and cheap to implement then nearly all lcd makers would offer internal scaling in their large displays and pimp it out as a "must have" feature. Even ATI hasn't gotten onboard with their videocards yet..
 
I hate to say this - but if you are building a GAMING system a TN panel is probably your best choice. The heralded "color perfect" IPS panels are too damn slow. So you get color perfect blurring.

Everything has its place!

Oh really? I guess I should toss my Dell 2007FPW that I've been happily gaming on right out the window! :p

Well that would be tragic! Maybe you don't see refresh issues - but many people, who only game (like me), say TN panels are appropriate. I don't own a TN panel and would certainly like to try an IPS panel but I'm not going anywhere near Dell and its damn panel lottery.
