I don't really understand that much of the technical mumbo jumbo, so I thought if someone else would know.
The settings of Xbox One have a video option for 720p or 1080p, obviously I know that this is just what it outputs the games as on the TV. If you select 1080p, games will be upscaled (or running natively), if 720p, they come out as that obviously.
Now I was wondering if there is ANY benefit to running 1080p on a 720p TV? I know my TV (720p capable) won't be showing me those extra pixels, but wonder how my TV would react to feeding it 1080p?
Then from the PC world I know that the higher the resolution, the more it demands from the hardware. So since I can't even use 1080p with my TV, would the games run better/at higher average FPS since I will have to use 720p due to my TV anyways? Not sure if it would work like this for upscaled games (although I'm sure that process too takes resources), but if a game would be native 1080p, but in the settings I have 720p due to my TV, wouldn't it use less resources to render than 1080p, potentially freeing the resources for fe. higher FPS. Or does it not work like this due the closed nature of consoles as opposed to PCs?
