I just question which advantages the Pro brings to 1080p TVs. Maybe downscalling to simulate a super AA?

It's already been revealed that several developers will be offering a settings menu in their PS4 NEO/Pro version,
where the player can choose if they want "near" 4k resolution, if they want 1080p w/ max FX, or 1080p w/ max FPS.

---------------------------------

 

So PS4 NEO supposedly has dedicated HW to faciliate this sort of thing, that reduces the load on the GPU.  Unclear if the entire process is off-loaded onto special hardware (in other words, that it is 100% free), or if the dedicated HW still "works with" the normal shader/computer cores.  Also interesting would be whether the technique would be beneficial on PS4 OG (or Xbone for that matter), even without dedicated hardware.

I believe so. They still need to render more pixles than 1440p is though.

I wonder if the same is possible on PC graphics cards in the future? it would probably be labled a "cheat" since theyre running only half as many pixles but if it allows budget 4k on pc as well... Id be all for it.
