BMaker11 - If HDMI isnt used the console resolution changes. Native doesnt mean minimum it means it is designed to run at that resolution. Therefore your assumption is incorrect.

OP I dunno but it would be interesting to find out. The 3D games would have to be wouldnt they?


A lot of games can "run" at 1080P. Halo 3 for example. But we know it's native resolution is really 1154x640. Wipeout HD, on the other hand, has a native resolution of 1920x1080. That's the kind of difference I was talking about.

@kowenicki

I was under the assumption that it was needed to have true 1080P, at least for consoles. I wasn't entirely sure, hence all the question marks in my original post. But regardless, in terms of natively running games at 1080P for the 360, I thought the 360 only upscaled. I know you can technically play them at that resolution....but I was playing a SNES emulator on my computer when it was hooked up to my 40" HDTV....the game was outputting 1080P but I mean....

And that's what I thought the situation was similar to on the 360 (albeit not as extreme).

And lastly, you keep saying "who cares", but the guy mere wanted a few numbers and little discussion. Nothing wrong with that

The 360 doesnt "just" upscale to 1080p... although yes it can upscale all games to 1080p, it is also entirely capable of running true 1080p and does.  I dont understand why people even think this cant be done?  It comes from the sony fanboy propaganda of its early life I guess.

Like I said, I was under the assumption as such. I hadn't really looked into myself....just saying what I've heard over the years
