Again, thank you for this thread, the topic is really an interesting one. I only could add my points late because I have a long way home from work!

Could you please also post the original links so everyone can look at the pics full screen?

Edit: I think this is an exceptionally bad pic. Both res look horrible to me! Do we know which AA is used?

I have eyes like a hawk. When it comes to 720p with AA vs 1080p without, 1080p wins every time. With resolutions that AA isnt really needed as much as with 720p.

Also you can upscale 720p as much as you want, it is not going to add the extra 56% aka 1,152,000 pixels to the screen. That is a lot of missing detail. Provided the hardware is strong enough to provide the extra pixels without downgrading graphical quality.

Nobody's perfect. I aint nobody!!!

Killzone 2. its not a fps. it a FIRST PERSON WAR SIMULATOR!!!! ..The true PLAYSTATION 3 launch date and market dominations is SEP 1st

I think interesting too because anybody can make tests in PC, show them and give opinions... at the end there are a little of taste behind like I can prefer better IQ with more aliasing over lower IQ with less aliaging .

Found in GAF.

1080p native vs 1080p upscalled... same AA.

Only a very minor difference but the top screen is slightly better. And I think 1080p without AA looks better than 720p with 4xAA.

Something more to add to the topic:

http://www.vg247.com/2013/06/28/forza-5-anti-aliasing-still-an-issue-unless-developing-at-4k-says-turn-10/

Please guys, keep calm. Yes, it is from a Forza dev. Please take it as a random dev talking about AA. Please. No console war, no shitting on him, no cloud reference. Are you able to do so?

O agree with Turn 10... 4k will eliminates a lot of aliasing... AA is a band-aid after all.
