DF forgot ONE MAJOR thing about the gpu's and it's that the ps4 has DOUBLE the rops of the xbone and in df's test both gpu's had the same # of rops.

 

That's correct. DF did not consider bandwidth or ROP's which will be a factor in PS4's favor, but even the results they came up with are pretty huge. You've got to take their comparison as a crude experiment - testing a certain specific senario. Droping resolution a tad might be the best senario for Xbox One as lowering LOD's or framerate would be more noticable. Still - the difference between 1080p and 900p will be enough for most to choose PS4 versions.

 


While it is possible, I doubt we'll see any 900p version games, most likely they'll reduce framerate to keep it at 1080p or reduce resolution to 720p.  Or perhaps worse case? scenario, they'll reduce draw distance and other effects.  As far as I'm aware, they don't make any 900p televisions, only monitors.  

You don't need a 900p monitor for a game to render 900p - you just need to upscale to 1080p. Remember all those PS3 and Xbox 360 games that were rendered sub 720p? That's often the choice developers make.

That's why I said "I doubt" rather than "we won't".  The Order is actually 1920 * 800.  So I don't know, but I just feel 900p is a weird resolution.  If that makes no sense at all?  I'm just not sure if resolution would be the first thing to change for the new gen.  Perhaps 900p@60fps makes sense...

Would you rather have a 1080p@60fps PS4 game downscale to 900p@60fps or 1080p@45fps. I expect dropping resolution is going to be the best way to port down to Xbox One that's why DF gave that as the best solution.
