what resolution did u use on your old monitor was it 1280x1024 per chance

because u now use 1920x1080 res putting more strain on your gfx card

answer....drop the res if ur system cant handle it/or turn off some in game setting if you like you new resolution :)

1920x1080 = 16:9
try 1360x768 or 1280x720 if you can select them

1680x1050 is 16:10 his monitor is 16:9 so 1680x1050 wouldn't look right :uwhat:

With my [f*cked] up aim I might give that a go, I always seem to shoot a tad too high :lol: :wink:
