Intrinsic said: Its interesting cause if say the CPU heavy load takes 25ms to complete its task for the next frame then passes off the render instructions to the GPU, then theoretically limiting the resolution means that they wanted to give the GPU less work to do so it spit outs the frame on time still hitting that 33ms limit. But this is where there is a problem with the story. If the GPUs have only 8ms to complete its task and the XB1 completes that with a 900p frame, what happend to the 40% more GPU that the PS4 has? The PS4 should be able to complete the exact same task 40% faster than the XB1. |
What you're describing is a case where the game is trying to reduce input latency, but that's not usually how things are done except for example for VR games (oculus, morpheus, etc...).
Usually games use pipelining so the GPU processes frame N while the CPU processes frame N+1, thus giving full 33ms to both CPU & GPU.
