You will be dismissed, because you're comparing off-screen to onscreen.

Does that change the technology used in the game?  No.

You should explain how that technology works, and why it is less taxing on the console than other technologies, and how you can tell Mario Mart 8 is using it. And you shouldn't use GTA V as a comparison, because I'm pretty sure that game isn't locked at 60 fps even during 2-player splitscreen, which it doesn't have. You have to compare like-for-like. Then people will listen.

Let's do that in reverse now shall we.

People claiming that Mario Kart 8 is such a technically advanced game should come forward and explain what makes it so advanced that it matches everything released so far on other 8th gen consoles (as many of you are claiming). And why this could never be achieved on 7th gen consoles. Tell us how that technology works, and why it is so more taxing on the console than other technologies, and how you can tell Mario Kart 8 is using it.

I'm sure it will be very insightful. ¬_¬

To be fair, there's the extra 500MB of RAM and its newer GPU features; it does seem likely to me that a showcase game would utilize these to some degree.
