We began playing games, but I noticed around 20-30 frames per second (max) compared to about 60-70 FPS on the same titles with a 720p screen. What surprised me was that there wasn't a noticeable difference at 1080p resolution. So, is it worth upgrading to 1080p and sacrificing some frames? My PC specs are Intel Core i7 950 at 4.2GHz, Hyper-212 EVO R9 360 (planned upgrade), X58 UHD3 motherboard, Antec TruePower 650W CPU, Intel SSD, Corsair 100uRAM. If your English isn't perfect, don't be a hard one :3

If you have a 720p monitor, it's probably unnecessary unless your graphics card supports 1080p. Ultimately, this depends on personal preference.

Switching from the R7 360 would make it much easier to run 1080p games with something like an RX 480 4GB.
