50% drop seems to much, a drop of around ~36% should however be
expected, since we are drawing 56% more pixels stuff to the screen.

Everything above 30fps should still be playable, however sure it won't
look that nice once you get used to >60fps. But well, every computer
that can do 30fps in software rendering should be capable of doing
OpenGL anyway, so it shouldn't be to much of a problem. In the long
run I doubt that software rendering will be much useable anymore.
