    When I played the same game by dell's screen, the game never lag I would guess it had around 25-30 fps

    However, after I upgraded the LG screen, wow, it lags so hard
    Now,I know why dell doesn't offer higher revolution screen,because the video card couldn't handle it :( :( :( :(

    it's 420m GPU

    what video drivers are you using? Is optimus working right? What happens when you drop the resolution back down to 768?

    For a 44% increase in pixels, I'd expect around a 44% loss in performance. But that's a lot more than 44%.

    That could be the rough performance loss if you're running both at the native resolution for each screen, 44%~half loss and 10-15 and 25-30 is~half loss. And no that video card can't handle 1080p on any decently intensive games, probably not even on low. Sometimes my 425m will hiccup when OC'ed running at the standard 1366x768.
