OT: A question for the technologically savvy.
This might/will sound pretty daft to some.
You know when you go on youtube and you can choose the quality of the video, Obviously 4k takes longer to load than 720p right?
So is this the same for gaming? (Pretty sure it isn't).
So basically, is there any difference in me physically playing a game in 4k than 720p on the constraints of my internet, like there is when i watch a video/stream?

(Not savvy in terms of 4k, thats just what makes sense to me)
Not necessarily bothered about 4k boss.
Even simply 1080p compared to 720p.
Your point makes perfect sense though.
"Made top 100 with a 30k team and 360p picture quality"
For reference 4k is 4x the pixels that is in 1080p

Actually made me lol
Any idea why i get a lot of lag playing in 1080p but pretty much zero in 720p?
So his video was basically saying he gets more lag in 1080 than 720?
Interesting.....
It's called the in your head factor
no its not, it's simply what im experiencing.
Every game i play on seasons in 1080 lags.....not delay, just lag.
The second i switch to 720 it goes.
Now i'm not saying it's down to the switch from 1080 to 720. It may be because my hdmi cable is faulty, it may be because my tv prefers the 720p output to the 1080p output.
I just know it is happening.
i'll have a look.
Cheers boss.
Lmao gg
This. I've swapped to 720 after seeing that video and there's was zero difference in game play. just a grainier picture.
he was saying reducing to 720 is a method to try to reduce input delay, never mentioned "lag" iirc.
the output that your console broadcasts to your TV isn't going to cause gameplay to lag...
Something in 1080p is.....
it just might be something unfortunate with your console, or your TV, or something.
You can google your question and there's a ton of threads about "reducing my consoles output to 720 to reduce lag" and you're find a ton of threads from various sites questioning whether it reduces lag and/or input delay and if you read them there's a lot of detailed answers provided as to how it doesn't have an effect on them. Most of the issues point back to the TV, but I'm not sure in your case because you're describing lag and not input delay.
1080p shouldn't cause an increase in "lag"
yeah, I'm not stating that using 1080p instead of 720p causes lag....i'm just stating that i have more lag in 1080p than 720p.
must be something with your setup possibly
