720p faster framerate than 1080p

Probably not.

720p has 4xAA, so it uses almost the same if not more power to render the image as 1080p with its 2xAA.

How people do know this?
My TV is set to AUTO and always pics highest resolution. When I play GT5, Menu screen or game play both say 1080P
When I play game like Warhawk it says 720p.
And how would people know that GT5 has 2 AA or 0 AA?

By the way, It is not a PC, in PC world you decrease Resolution games is faster, in CONSOLE world, you decrese resolution, same frame rate, it only depends on some TVs. Some TVs do support 1080p but may have slower response time and other issues.

Totally wrong.

It's kinda weird cause I see u can run 1080p on Prologue & in the same situation, IV runs at 720p when the box says 1080p.

You play GTA IV in 720p however if you disable 720p and 1080i in the display settings of your PS3, GTA IV will be upscaled to 1080p. That's why it's also on the box ;)
 
does anyone know if setting gt5p to run at 720p will increase the framerate over setting it at 1080p?

I tried it on 1366x768 resolution LCD TV and 720p was ugly and full of pixel mess. Then switched to 1080p and the TV resized it to it's native resolution and picture was much better. No framerate difference noticed.
 
The framerate is locked at 30fps for replay and 60fps for ingame. Locked should mean regardless of the resolution of your dislplay.

Testing the internal video output.

Is exactly the same as in PCs: high reoslution requires decrease detail level or frame rate. But this don´t success much because the mayority of the games are not rendered in 1980 x 1080 resolution; only filtered and/or scaled from 1280 x 720 or similar.

Much games offer 1080p output, but this wan´t to say that they have been rendered at 1920 x 1080.


moxtau: the GT5P frame rate is not ever 60 fps in game (moreover with other cars in the screen).

Very, very, very few games are delivered in full raster 1920x1080P at 60fps despite what some game companies claim. The only one I know of is Ridge Racer 7.

Correction - the framerate is 'Capped' Which means it won't go above that.

It will (and quite often does) fall below it.

Ridge Racer 7, Fifa Street 3, Marvel Ultimate Alliance, Virtua Tennis 3 and the NBA 2K titles only (and much of the Store titles).
 
Maybe I'm too stupid, but I still don't understand how someone found out what level of AA Prologue applies.

In PC you can test antialising and anisotropic filtering runing in a game level with a lot of utilities, and I suposse that in a debug PS3 sucess the same: they run any utility to get this info.

In any case, in the Beyond3D links they say how it makes.

in CONSOLE world, you decrese resolution, same frame rate, it only depends on some TVs. Some TVs do support 1080p but may have slower response time and other issues.
With movies it´s possible, with games all resolution increment has impact in game/console performance.

Time esponse and other TV features do not affects to game performance.

I'll figure it out. Thanks alot bro!
