I agree. The games running on my screen 19 in. screen at 1280x1024 look far better than the same game running on my PS3 at 720p and 1080i.

The only thing making a game 1080p does in most cases is make the graphics bigger, not better. All that does it keep the quality from noticeably dropping on a larger screen if you have one. 480p was enough for me. 1080p is overkill in most situations.

That is just plain wrong. You're telling me changing the resolution of a PC game from 720p to 1080p does not improve the graphics? Wat

It "can" improve the graphics, but 99% of the time it doesn't. Its the same polygon count, same geometry, same lighting, same textures(only bigger variations of them).

Not the same textures, but closer to how the artists would have intended them and usually at higher resolution allowing you to see more detail.

No. Most of the time it isn't. I've personally yet to see a single game that had drastic alteration to the way the textures looked at higher resolutions other than them being bigger versions of the same textures.

I've noticed more detail in textures such as Crysis 2, Metro 2033, Witcher 2, Skyrim and Deus Ex: Human Revolution among others. I wouldn't use the word drastic for some of them, but saying it doesn't improve graphics in 99% of cases is the opposite extreme. I generally notice a few extra details in textures. In the case of Witcher 2 and Crysis 2 the differences are fairly pronounced.
