The thread title asks it all. I know I can google the answer (and I have) but it seems the lists I can find are outdated. I remember reading somewhere that most console games are upscaled from 720p or even something smaller - and they mostly don't run at 60fps either, but are locked lower to ensure smooth framerates.
Given that the consoles are 5 years into their lifecycle, I'm wondering if graphics are improving or not.
I'm also asking because of a unique situation. I have an older TV that was caught inbetween the 1080i -> 1080p transition. The HDMI inputs can accept 720p or 1080i inputs, but the TV outputs everything at 1080p via deinterlacing. So.....when playing games, I can either pick 720p @ 60fps, or 1080i deinterlaced to 1080p @ 60fps. You'll also probably need to know that this is a 61" TV - and I currently sit 5' from the screen (The living situation changed - I know, that's really close) - so I can see smaller details.
Sure, it will depend on the game, but as a general setting, I was thinking the 720p would be the better choice for games as less fps information is lost...but I'm not sure. What would you prefer?
