Question But what about video use?

I understand the viewport command, and love my 'letterbox' eq screen, but what does it do to the video card demands?

If I run a 1024x768 window but viewport down to 640x400 does my video card have the demand of a 640 screen or 1024?

I wan to know because my 1024 is a bit laggy 800 works great. If I jump all the way to 1280x1024 can I viewport down to 1024x768 and still play the game? Giving myself plenty of black frame for all my cool looking UI windows?

bottom line. Does viewport affect video perfomance?
