Most iPad games are rendered at 1024 by 768, and then use some AA to smooth out the rough edges.The few games that are rendered at native 2048 by 1536 aren't graphically intense or have severe performance issues ala Nova 3 |
iPad games used scaling... on the iPad 3. Because the pixels were quadrupled but GPU performance only doubled compared to the iPad 2. Once the iPad 4 shipped, there was no need to scale anymore. That means NOVA, Infinity Blade, Real Racing, all run at native resolution on the two latest generations of iPad.
Even on the iPad 3, games used the doubled performance to render at a native resolution 40% higher than 1024 x768 (roughly four times Xbox resolution). Please stop spreading your misconceptions.
