I just saw that video in full and Im sorry I fail to see how that test applies to 3D.

Also his test is flawed. The 360 dashboard is set to be upscaled to 1080p, but games are able to push true 1080p if optimized.Perfect Dark remake and Virtua Tennis 3 do so...

Both consoles can push higher resolutions than 720p...but in COD Black ops, they are unable to do 720p in 2D. Why do you think PS3 is able to push >720p resolutions in 3D and can't keep up in 2d?


360 wasn't made as a 1080p console,it was upgraded later on thats what it showed that 360 wasn't native even though MS calls it native

and the video was supposed to show that only

 

that Black ops resolution went down from 600p to 300p for 3D cause of the limitation

PS3 was 600p but its ability and HDMI can both frames 600p not 300p

 

that was the reasoning.

I'll argue that you are wrong here. 

First of all check Perfect Dark remake on the 360, it is native 1080p. The dashboard upscales to 1080p but games are fully capable of 1080p on the 360 as are movies.

Secondly, Black ops on the 360 goes form 600p in 2D to 720p in 3D. Because 3D requires to display 2 frames, each frame is 360p wide and then is scaled to 720p by the TV.

On the Ps3, game runs in sub 600p in 2D...and in 3D it runs in 1470p. Each frame already scaled to 720p by the PS3 because that is how these new 3D TVs work.  DF can not determine the the true PS3 3D frame resolution because its is scaled before it reaches the TV. It could be 300p, 320p, 360p or even higher per frame... The ONLY difference between 3D method on the PS3 and 360 is taht for 360 TV does the image scaling, for PS3 version, PS3 does it before it reaches the TV.

Now any resonable person should be able to conclude that since PS3 version in 2D and 3D runs worse than 360 version, it most likely is running around 320-360p per frame in 3D, which is around the same as the 360 version. There is no special magic PS3 can do to squeeze extra performance for 3D if the game is struggling in 2D...
