Obviously when playing games in window mode, you will get a lower fps then playing a game in full screen. So my question is, I have vista and is there anyway to disable somethings easily to bring up my fps in window mode, to get the fps back close or exactly what it would be when its in full screen?

This would be for AoC, and Crysis, my fps drops way to much when playing at the 1680x1050, and i dont mind playing it in a smaller picture with windowed mode if i can get the same fps as full screen
 
just curious, why do you want to play aoc in window mode and whats your avg fps? sorry dont have the answer to your question tho.
 
I want to play AoC in window mode becuase i have been playing on a 19 inch, and when i jumped to a 22 inch i lost about 5-10 fps, I cant notice it that much for most of the game but in old torantia i can drop to 20 fps with max graphics (everything on 4x aa, 16x af all shadows etc). Its not as much as a problem with AoC then it is with crysis, before i could play crysis all very high with no aa but now i cant even do that.

I have a 9800 gtx with 4 gigs and a q6600

I could deal with a smaller screen if i can get my fps back
 
20fps in old T is pretty bad, thats wierd tho. I am running 8800 ultra on a 37inch 1920x1080. I rarely get under 50fps in old T. Running my setting on high. the only thing i have higher then you is QX6800 processor. Also i am running 4gb but only 3 gb being use as i have vista 32.
 
im sorry but that is not true, if you have everything maxed like I do shadows etc. I usually get 30 average in old tarantia, and that is around normal if you base it off of the benchmarks that have been ran. its not possible to get that fps with your specs in old T.
 
Why not just use a lower resolution then?

You can still use 1440x900 and let the video card scale it up to 1680x1050. You will get the performance of the smaller resolution and almost the full quality of 1680x1050.

In the nVidia Control Panel, under "Flat Panel Scaling" turn it on to "scaling with aspect ratio" and see if that helps.

Try that out.

"turn it on to "scaling with aspect ratio" and see if that helps." is this any different then just running a lower resolution in full screen option in game? This would stretch the picture which in the end makes it look very bad imo.
 
Whats this "running in windowed mode has lower fps" crap, every game I play in windowed mode has a much higher fps then fullscreen.
