    new monitor

    recently purchased a new ASUS Essentio, before christmas holidays I was using my 43"sony bravia as my monitor playing at a comfortable 130fps in instances. I purchased a LG E2360 on boxing day because they were on sale. I hook it up and now im running 4 fps on ultra.

    Can i please get some insight on how to resolve this issue

    You had a lower resolution monitor, the size is irrelevant. When you stepped up to 1920x1080, you increased the resolution, and therefor your framerate dropped.

    To resolve it, buy a lower resolution monitor, lower your settings, or get a new graphics card.

    For full ultra at 1920x1080p? I don't know, try turning your shadows off. That's the easiest way to increase performance. Otherwise, a 6850 is a decent cheap card. Hunt around for prices. You won't play FULL ultra, but you'll be decently close.

    Yep. 6870 if you want a bit more performance, if you have some more money to spend, otherwise that's about as good as it's going to get.
