Yup, and this game is 1080p. 360/ps3 and wiiu can only dream of running this at 1080p solid 30fps.  Also what looks better is subjective. Going from 720p to 1080p requires the gpu to do 2.25x the work in case you didn't know, and that's not even factoring the locked 30fps. I prefer these type of games then something using more advanced graphics but running at 720p or lower many times with a unstable framerate. 

Resolution whilst it has a correlation to rendering load, isn't a linear increase/decrease and cannot be attributed to scaling in such a manner, different GPU's scale differently.

I mean shit. The SAME GPU can scale resolutions differently.

Case in point... The Geforce 1030... There was a DDR4 and a GDDR5 variant.
At 720P the DDR4 variant achieves 49% of the performance of the GDDR5 variant.
At 1080P that drops to 45% of the performance of the GDDR5 variant.

Same compute, shader cores, clockspeeds. Everything.

Breath of the Wild is doing far more than Red Dead Redemption... But the WiiU couldn't dream of running that game at 1080P 30fps either.

It's also not subjective, we can quantifiably measure differences with games.

Let's keep are discussion in the other thread. Now you are telling me what I think looks better is not subjective lol.
