I see alot of text disagreeing with nothing rofl. There is absolutely no misonformation at all.

I did not say a single thing you counter argued.  Neither did I say AA is free  nor did I ever wanted a game to be as crisp as a 1080p game. I just said lower res with AA is sufficient.  Please dont jump to conclusions reading a text.  I even said that I prefer higher resolution with lower polycount etc.

The image i provided is even downsampled from 4k screenshot to 480p. (thus equivalent to 480p With alot of AA  and not "this is exactly how a 480p AA game would look like"


OP pictures are not night and day = fact.
Alot of games would be perfectly playable with FF13 resolution 1024x576p = fact
If a game is 480p without AA it looks shit with AA or better resolution it does not(compared to 480p with no AA) = fact
I prefer higher resolution over more effects and better polycount = fact since its my opinion.
most of games these days are mediocre = fact (well lets say opinion even if its not)
Id rather play a great SNES/PS2 game than a visually top notch mediocre game from 2014 = fact (again my opinion)

All I got from this post is that you didn't read/understand what i was saying to you and why. Nor have you taken the tim to read any more of the numerous bits of information I have put up here. But i am not going to argue with you. I will tell you one thing though...

Downsampling (which is actually called supersampling in AA speak and is the most expensive type of AA) a game from 4k (8.2M+ pixels) to 480p (320k pixels) will require the post processing AA equivalent of over 64xMSAA. Running as much as 8xMSAA cripples most game engines. It will cost you less performance to up the rez of a game from 480p to 720p/1080p than to use 64XMSAA. Way, way, way, way less. And no one said games can't be playable at lower resolutions. That is not what this thread was about. What it was about was if lowering the rez could double the franerate amongst other things.

And as for your opinions, well I am not arguing with them. Never was, so don't know why you are so salty. And your "opinions" of how  games made today is bad and what you would rather play, again has nothing to do with this thread. So you may wanna keep those facts to yourself.

Oh btw, 1080p@60fps with more post processing than you can wave a stick at. Guess even now there is s omething for everyone.
