New monitor causing lag in-game

SystemSystem Member, NoReporting Posts: 178,019 Arc User
I recently bought a new monitor off a friend, it works fine on other games, but in STO, with the resolution to maximum, it starts to lag a little.

I never used to experience lag with my old monitor

Is there a way to stop the lag, but keep the same screen resolution?

Monitor resolution in-game = 1680x1050

If it turns out i have to go back to using my old monitor where STO worked fine on (but smaller (1024x768)), thats fine.

Suggestions please?

    Sorry to say you have 3 options

    option 1 run the new monitor in a lower resolution
    option 2 run the game with lower quality settings
    option 3 buy a better graphic card.

    option one should make the game run at the same speed but if you have gone from CRT to LCD and to wide screen it may streach the graphics for you

    option two as stated will speed the game up at a loss of eyecandy

    option 3 costs more money :P

    Good luck
