How many people thought the Xbox360 internally rendered at 720p, and that regardless of selected output resolution all should get the same framerates?
I thought I'd read that several places, but that doesn't seem to be the case, at least not in the Tomb Raider demo. I've heard rumors about possible differences, and read a bit of info here and decided to test it myself with the TR legends demo for the XBox360. The differences are quite obvious ----that at least in this demo the ouput resolution very much effects the frames per second.

Download the demo and test for yourself. The default resolution for 720p (1280x720) runs much slower and stutters, but if you run your xbox360 at 640x480(selectable if you have the vga adapter) it runs incredibly smooth. It makes sense, but goes against what I've read and is also disappointing for the reason that my native resolution is 1280x720 on my HDTV projector and now I will forever be itching to run my xbox360 at a lower non native resolutioin in order to achieve higher frame rates/smoother gameplay
