Tech Analysis | Splinter Cell: Conviction (576p, 2xMSAA)

Displaying a 720p game on a 1080p set needs no upscaling actually, it's just an interpolation.

Vertical resolution is the most important one, that's why some studios preffered anamorphic resolution like 960x1080 over 1280x720 (wich is almost the same pixel rendering cost)
