How to run Grand Theft Auto IV at 1080p on PS3

sonarus - 593 days 5 hours ago

I honestly can't believe this got approved. GTA4 is 640p on PS3. This doesn't change it, its just a neat trick that i though everyone knew about. This is ridiculously lame

You can definitely see a difference when you unclick those lower settings on my 42" LG LCD. Picture looks a little bit sharper.

I only posted a comment the other day saying that when I checked to see what the resolution was on my LCD when I played GTA (article said it was running at 640 or something), it was displaying at 720p @ 60hz. I couldn't understand why though. This article and the posts by Silellak have clear this up now. When I check now to see what resolution it is running in it displays at 1080p @60hz.

Bubbles you ye Silellak.

TheMart, have you played both versions of GTA. Probebly not. I have!!

GTA PS3 looks better. Trust me. Yeah maybe the 360 does look very slightly sharper (and you really have to look to notice, i had to go back and forth over and over again) but the PS3 version has less framey issues and very little pop-in, it is very notable. Its just a cleaner and smoother experiance... Sorry

All this does is upscale 640p to your displays native 1080p. Newsflash, your TV does the same thing if you feed it something other than 1080p (assuming you have a 1080p display of course). You want to do this if you are certain your PS3 does a better job of upscaling than your TV.

This is analogous to when you were in college (or in, or about to be) and you typed all that you could type for a term paper, but unfortunately it only comes out to 6.4 pages. Your teacher requires at least 10 pages. So you increase the font, increase the line spacing, widen the margins, and increase the header footer size. Voila, you have a 10.8 page paper. But you haven't really created any new info.

Same thing here. You're not creating any new info/resolution. Just stretching the existing resolution, and your TV does the same thing already. Question is, which one does it better.

From reading this thread I'd say that anyone noticing a difference when they switch to custom settings on the PS3 is due to the PS3 upscaling better that their HD TV.

I've had a go at checking out the different settings and without a doubt there is an improvement in picture by using this custom setting.

Not sure what inexpensive online college you went to but at my University, the professors go by word count and a Flesch-Kincaid scale, not by how many pages you can come up with. Also, the font and spacing along with rule and margins need to be formatted according to University standards and cannot differ. Sorry, but your analogy sucks.

You are correct. If you have a 1080 native set it will ONLY display 1080 vertical lines of resolution, ever. Period.

There's is no reason to do this - all it will really do is inconvenience you when you play certain games. There's a reason they want you to check the boxes for all resolutions you screen supports - it's so you don't have to reset your video settings all the time.

The PS3 fanboys were all over Halo 3 and I don't hear them about GTAIV being 640p for the PS3. Suddenly they say: look at the colours! That's just funny.

Furthermore, Halo 3 had one version, no other console to compare with. The 360 got the sharper version of GTAIV with 720p period. That's just a fact.

Last but not least: the PS3 is supposed to be the ultimate hardware Sony says. So why again does that 'superior' hardware runs GTAIV on 640p not being able to get to the 720p's 360 level?

This is an educational article, letting you know how to get around an unfortunate oversight in the ps3's firmware. It is NOT an article about how the ps3 version is better, or how the 360 version sucks or any combo of those words. Nor is it anything saying the ps3's native resolution is 720p. The PS3 has an upscaler that doesn't realize the user wants the scaled to the maximum resolution unless you specifically tell it to. STOP THE BLEEDING FANBOYATHON! you're stinking up the gamer zone

Pretty sure it was a port from the 360 to PS3, so that could be the reason.

However, speaking of ports, the 360 version of Oblivion ran at a lower resolution...

Oblivion on 360 = 1024x600 native
Oblivion on PS3 = 1280x720 native

confirmed by Quaz51, same person who did Halo & GTA IV resolutions.

The PS3 version had 8x Anistrophic Filtering, which the 360 version doesn't even have any, not sure about AA, and Oblivion ran and looked better on PS3.

Now if you want to talk full year's improve on PS3 version, then looked what they achieved with it, aswell as it being a port from 360

Also, about the 360 "patch", it only improved the LOD texture landscape, not AA, filtering, resolution etc.

Silellak - 593 days 5 hours ago

Technically, he's not wrong.

Every game has a basic "native resolution". Pixel counters have found the basic native resolution for GTA4 is 720p for the 360 and 640p for the PS3.

However, ALL games this generation run at either 720p, 1080i, or 1080p using upscaling. There is no such thing as a 640p TV, or a 604p TV, or whatever resolution the pixel counters claim a game runs at. Most modern HDTV's will automatically upscale to their native resolution (either 720p or 1080p), and if they don't, then the game console itself upscales it to 720p, 1080i, or 1080p.

The only exception is that the PS3 can't upscale a 720p to 1080i, and if a TV only supports 1080i - and the game hasn't been written to support 1080i - then the game will be downscaled to 480p (standard definition).

Games that run in actual HD natively tend to be a bit "sharper" than games that run at a lower native res and then upscale the image. That's really the only difference.

The only time 1080p is really impressive for a game is when the game natively supports 1080p. ANY game can be converted to 1080p, the question is whether or not it looks GOOD doing so.

So, uh, I guess the overall point of this is he's not technically wrong when he says GTA4's native res is 640p, but the truth of the matter is that it doesn't really mean much except to super videophiles like, well, the people who figured it out in the first damn place.

If the a TV has a resolution of 480p you would have to turn off your console to reset it. The PlayStation 3 is an HD (High Definition)console so an SD (Standard Definition) TV things will change. So when my settings are set for an HD TV the PlayStation 3 will only work for HD sets. If the TV isn't HD than I would have to reset my console making my icons look a lot bigger.

If I don't reset the console's resolution than nothing won't show on the TV. The PlayStation 3 can upscale things like Blu-ray, DVD, or PlayStation 2 games. The whole point of upscaling is so the resolution of the content fits the screen.

So with the PlayStation 3 comment about downscaling you'll know for sure if it is. Everything looks different when downscaled which makes me think about the XBOX 360 (most likely isn't an HD console).

This video is just showing you that if your set supports that it will force every to display only the best. Instead of the recommended.

You are clueless, you use double negatives to try and make a point. And you make me laugh... I bet you work at Kmart in the video section. lol

If your TV has the capabilities to run all resolutions then it will choose the native resolution. If your TV is set so that it only will display at 1080P then if it WILL upscale the video so that it plays at that reslotion. Basically multiplying pixels to fill holes that would otherwise not exist due to the resolution of the actual media. Depending on the resolution, upscaling can be seemless.

As for downscaling. Well, basically just the same... the set will not show pixels so that it can display it within a 480p output.

It's all simple... but Some One Plays makes everyone else look like rocket scientists.

Some_One_Plays - 592 days 20 hours ago

lol, the video is about forcing the content shown on the PlayStation 3 at a certain resolution. So when you uncheck certain resolutions you're stating that your TV doesn't support that. So in other words everything is forced to 1080p.

With everything on automatic it's a little different. For example if your TV supports 1080p that means it supports 1080i or 720p / 720i, 480p / 480i. So when putting in an SD (Standard Definition) DVD in a TV that supports 1080p it'll be in 480p / 480i. This will cause it to look not as clear if it were to be on a TV with a Native Resolution of 480p / 480i.

This is when most people say they don't see the difference with Blu-ray and regular DVDs. So by unchecking certain resolutions you're forcing content to be in 1080p / 1080i resolution since your TV doesn't support it. It's like playing Crysis on an CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) monitor you'll only see the difference with an upgrade.

For native resolution for people who don't know it means the highest resolution supported. Anything higher will mean it won't look at sharp as it would at it's native resolution.

Some_One_Plays - 592 days 6 hours ago

lol, you people name places I've never seen or heard of before, where the hell is that in Toronto. With "Silellak" he's stating that the PlayStation 3 will be standard definition (SD) if the TV doesn't support it. Which will only happen if you reset you PlayStation 3 settings to fit that TV. If you have a PlayStation 3 and it's set on HD (High Definition) settings it won't display on an SD set / TV.

So when the PlayStation 3 downscales because of the TV not supporting HD the whole console down scales. The XMB (cross media bar), movies, games, everything. So I was stating that if it down scales you would know, everything will look "big" / "different." So stating that it will down scale to 480p because your TV dosn't support 1080p makes no sense. The option wouldn't be there if the TV doesn't support it.

So the person in the video has an HD set that supports 1080p / 1080i which means it also supports 720p / 720i, and 480p / 480i. So by unchecking 720p / 720i and 480p / 480i it will force content to be in a higher resolution (1080p / 1080i). These options wouldn't be there if your TV didn't support it (1080p, 1080i, 720p, 720i, 480p, 480i). With that said if you have this set to be foced at 1080p / 1080i and you move your PlayStation 3 to a none-HD TV it won't display. You would have to reset your console, this is what I was stating, that you would know if it downscales.

To reset your console's resolution since it won't display (anything) on the screen you have to turn it on the console by holding the "on button" for 5 seconds. When you do this it will be in 480p / 480i (or whatever the native resolution is) for everything and the options won't be there no more (1080p, 1080i, 720p, 720i).

Legion - 592 days 2 hours ago

Wrong again SOP. Just because a TV supports 1080P does not mean that every resolution beneath it will work too. As an example: I have a few HD TV's and one of my earlier wide screens does not support. 720P. (yes, odd but it was early in HD tech and I figured that I only needed the 2 resolutions... who would use the middle 720P as the standard? haha)

If I have all my 3 settings for HD checked on my system (as supported) then when I put in a game that is 720P native it will NOT appear on my TV. Because you have told your system that it will run at that resolution even though the TV will not support it. I have to ensure that the 720P resolution is not checked on my system as a viable resolution for the console that I have hooked to that TV.

Now what happens when I put a native resolution 720P native media into my system and it plays on my system? Does it magically upscale to 1080P and add pixels that before never existed? Not really, it just repeats pixels so that the image formats correctly to a 1080P screen. This gives the illusion of being 1080P but is not actually. You are getting the pixels but it is more a blurred montage of pixels to accomodate the areas that would be missing. And as long as the screen is not too large then it will appear seemless and actually look clearer to the human eye. But get a larger display and you will notice the difference between native resolution versus upscaling to a higher resolution.

Not saying that you are wrong on your point of needing to change the PS3 settings to go from an HD TV to a standard definition set (politicaly correct term for those non-HD people...ha) just that your verbiage on upscaling is a bit whacked. More so in your first post then the others. French might be your native language? Maybe that is why when you are upscaling to English that it is not as clear as native english speakers? You just think it is? lol

actually he is right. many older HD televisions would not support certain resolutions. in fact some older HD television would not support even 480i/p. you maybe familiar with the tech of today but when HD TV's first came out they were very different and you had to make sure the tv supported the resolution you wanted. now with modern processors it easy for the tv to scale the image to many different resolutions.

on a side note, although you are "blurring" the image by repeating pixels when upscaling, the pixel count is higher so the question becomes is the blurring effect of adding pixels better or worse than the lower native resolution. to simply say there will be no difference doesnt make sense. on my 47" tv i can definitely tell a difference for the best.

I find that really hard to believe so if pixels were people and TVs were Canada's Wonderland rides this would happen: So roller coasters in the 90s can fit up to 50 people (native resolution) but only 25 people want to ride. So in other words the 25 people can't ride because you must have a full roller coaster to start. Now in the 20th century if 25 people want to ride on a 50 seater ride it can now happen.

I believe that the picture would be smaller than the TV size but I find it hard to believe monitors / TVs couldn't support lower resolutions. Since native means highest it would only make sense that the other pixels could be used and others won't. Like wide screen support on a normal TV would have black bars on top and bottom of the screens. Some SD(Standard Definition) DVDs back than would only have that mode and wouldn't have full screen and nowadays they support both or only full screen.

This is because the developers didn't specifically write the game to support anything higher than 720p.

The 360 is designed to automatically upscale any game to any resolution using a dedicated hardware scaler chip.

The PS3 also has a scaler, but it has to be used by the game itself. The hardware won't automatically do it.

Most early PS3 games had this same problem. It's still sort of a crapshoot as to whether or not a particular PS3 game will support above a 720p resolution or not.

Don't forget to tell:

360 has a hardware scaler indeed, horizontal&vertical scaling to every possible resolution without any pain on the GPU/CPU

PS3 has a software scaler, only horizontal OR vertical scaling once at a time, not possible to scale to 1080i and it costs power from the other systems parts.

You need a big TV to see the difference between 720p and 1080p.

Also, very few if any games actually run natively at 1080p, so even if you had a big enough TV, there probably wouldn't be a noticeable difference unless a game runs at 1080p.

This is a list of PS3 titles that run natively at 1080p. Honestly not sure if it's up to date, though.

I explained it way above, but some people cannot wrap their head around it. All this trick does is make your PS3 do the scaling up to 1080p, not the TV. If you left it alone, your TV would still take that signal and upscale to 1080p. The question is, which one does it better?

I appreciate your feedback very much. I was trying to get a proper answer to that question for a while now. Especially since the display for my TV says 720p, I was a bit confused. But, correct me if I'm wrong, the TV still upscales it to 1080p, the 720p (on the display) simply means that is the signal it is receiving?

I have been trying to compare the PS3 and my Bravia to see which upscales (to 1080p) better. I will have to do some more comparisons, but I know the TV upscales Ratchet and Clank: TOD better than the PS3.

Your native 1080p TV, does it have options for any other resolutions within it's settings?

If your signal says 720p then that is what you are viewing. Though the capabilities of the TV to display 1080p natively is there you are still viewing at 720p.

I have searched the crap out of this subject and still see no automatic upscaling of input signals to 1080p on TVs. It all has to do with native media resolution and then settings per TV and system. So yes this trick will allow the output to read 1080p but you are not getting a true 1080p source.

Swedish gaming mag Gamereactor said that there are MAJOR DIFFERENCES between the 2 version

http://www.gamereactor.se/r...
Swedish Gamereactor mentioned in their 10/10 review that they were pretty surprised regarding the difference between the PS3 and 360-versions. The PS3-version features better colours, contrast, load times and what looks to be better resolution textures. The game also looks sharper and has a more stable fps.

IGN

http://www.n4g.com/NewsCom-...

"For those wanting to know which version looks better, the edge goes to the PS3. The textures and framerate are comparable, but the PS3 has far less pop-in. The 360 has richer colors, but the PS3 has better anti-aliasing making it look a little cleaner. Because GTA IV can preload onto the PS3 hard drive, the in-game loads are faster. Don't worry Xbox owners, the load times are rarely more than 30 seconds and don't occur very often. The slight visual edge goes to PS3, but the 360 is no slouch. Either version will do you proud".

X360 version has FR dips too . more frequent than the PS3 version
"Past GTA titles have had mild-to-serious framerate issues and technical glitches, because the games were trying to do far more than the PlayStation 2 could handle. While GTA IV is pushing the PS3 and 360 to the limit, it also runs amazingly well. Sure, there are framerate hitches here and there and (particularly on 360) there is some texture pop-in, but it actually runs better than I expected. That a game with great AI, an awesome physics engine and a detailed open world runs so well and with such short load times is a technical marvel. For that, I can forgive framerate issues and some noticeable aliasing. "

So happy that i own a PS3

GAMESRADAR also confirms that PS3 version is SUPERIOR

"While the PS3 and 360 versions of the game are functionally identical, the PS3's visuals sport noticeably smoother edges, along with a warmer color palette that makes everything look slightly more realistic. If you're looking to compare Accomplishments with your Achievement-hoarding friends, though, forget it - GTA IV ignores these half-assed consolation prizes altogether. PS3 owners also have to put up with a nearly eight-minute installation the first time they start the game, which puts the normally slower Blu-ray load times on par with the Xbox 360 version. (That is, unless it's running on a 360 with no hard drive, which we're told will face much longer loads.)"

Being in last place has really made the fishheads mental. He is like the Paula Abdul of fanboy extremists.

%100 defect rate? My 360 is working and so are the millions of people playing on Live right now so where is this %100 defect rate coming from?

ElementX, I wouldn't be so sure about MS not being worried about MGS4 if I were you. That's set to be the biggest game on the PS3. My advice-don't underestimate a game until it's actually out. :)

I don't underestimate MGS4, but I don't overestimate it, either. It's a proven franchise, however the last one didn't do so well with 120 million PS2s out there. Only 3.7 million? That's a low average.

Don't get me wrong, I'm going to buy MGS4 with the PS3, however I don't expect it to break any records.

Can someone work out the attach rate for that.

The ps3 fangirls are good at that?

Well when it suits them.

you said
" My advice-don't underestimate a game until it's actually out. :)"

I agree but the ps3 fangirls do that for every 360 game and continue after its out. Unless the rare occasion it comes out on the ps3 a year later then they love it.

Oh and puala AKA Doodoobrains AKA nasim AKA sammy AKA alex
I don't like the way they are calling you paula now. You live in your own world so you are clearly a Heather.

You know heather mills, deluded piss poor arguments, using fiction that you make up as fact and having no proof to back you false claims up.

So um...just because the last one didn't do as well as MGS2 and MGS, that means that MGS4 won't be a hit? MGS3 still sold but not as good as the first two. Still, MGS4 will be a blockbuster. I know plenty of people who are buying PS3's just for that game. Kojima has been known for bringing the best of the best so I have some confidence he won't disappoint.

And my advice to you is to not underestimate.

He's a genius.

"I agree but the ps3 fangirls do that for every 360 game and continue after its out. Unless the rare occasion it comes out on the ps3 a year later then they love it."

Um...don't group Sony fans together with the ones who go over the top. I never underestimated ANY of the 360 games. Gears of War, in my opinion is action-packed but the graphics are nothing to brag about. Ninja Gaiden 2 is going to a kick ass game and I'm not underestimating it. I like the 360 library but I don't trust the console or where it came from.

Don't confuse rational PS3 fans with the rabid psychos okay?

"And sadly this isnt the only instance where you need to tweak settings on the ps3 to enjoy a game..."

Oh really? I guess all the 720p/480i owners aren't enjoying this or the people who didn't bother "to tweak the settings". Nice fail.

To enjoy the game. And since that is a "extensive and unconfirmed fix" and it's only happening to a "limited number", your post is still a fail. It's like me saying you need to wrap your 360 with a towel to enjoy any game on your console to stop it from getting rrod. Not everyone has rrod. Well, at least I don't.

I get 1080p fishhead. The 360 scales all it's games to 1080p just like the POS3 does. Even better 360 owners don't have to deal with this:

"As it turns out, gamers who own older HD sets that feature only 480i, 480p, and 1080i resolution input capabilities will have to settle for the display quality being downsized as the game boots in its 480p mode rather than upscaling the image from its more desirable 720p mode to the TV's 1080i."

@below - haha I see what you just did there. I don't have this problem silly I own a 360 and not a CRAPSTATION3(tm). Reading comprehension is a real problem with you isnt it?

Gam71 - 592 days 15 hours ago

Every 360 game can be upscaled if not native to 1080p because of a dedicated chip called eve i think.

It means it doesn't have to be programmed in or done by software so no hit on frame rate.

Think frontlines
