    Why can't i download downscaled video games if i can download "upscaled" video games? That's what i was wondering. I dont need to play Forza Motorsport 7 in 4k at 150gbs. Why can't I download it at 1080p where the quality still looks great but doesn't stress the system as much or take as much memory to download. Simply like watching a YouTube video at 1080p instead 4k. Still looks great, takes less processing and runs great? Only reason I ask is because I'm deployed over seas and wifi sucks. Dumbass xbox makes you download the game before you can even play it. Im using my phone Hotspot so I dont have 150gb of data to download that whole bitch. Why can't I choose to download it at 720p or 1080p at 60gbs or less so I can at least use my xbox? Or like the xbox 360 days, put a disk in and play the game right away, even without internet access. Basically I have a couple games around 40-60gb I could probably get downloaded with the Hotspot. Not possible to download 150+gb Call of Duty or Forza Motorsports 7. But Rocket League and Ace Combat 7 are around 30-40GBs and work flawlessly. Or like the xbox 360 days when you could have a "Lag Switch" and make it run at lesser quality and speed and still play the game lol. The series s always brags about "Upscaling" to 4k. Why cant i downscale from 4k to 1080p or 720p lol?

    Does the Xbox 360 support 1080p or not?

    but it was not really designed to run at 1080p, it was not even a option when xbox first came out, nothing on xbox live video or games run at 1080P , 720P is most and xbox upscales it but not native, like if u put 1080P video in xbox, it will downscale
    it to run through the cpu/gpu for more speed then it will upscale it in the video output

    Xbox One S not recognizing full 4K capabilities through 4K AV receiver

    I understand a bit of the differences between the two there is also a lot about the two in the sense of comparison I didn't understand. Why would anyone need the Integral over the Linker other than to downscale? If that is the only reason, the price seems
    a bit much but it probably does take more to downscale a source than it does to upscale it or to strip something out of it.

    1440p Output to monitor: Any word as to when?

    Probably not till next year.

    Most likely the 1440p resolution will just be the downscaled 2160p output so not really any different from plugging the X into an 1080p display.

    Until support is added you will get downscaled 2160p to 1080p that is then upscaled by the monitor to1440p.

    ME Andromeda game dvr clip scale

    Having the same issue with my Screenshots and Clips. I hear others say it happens while streaming. From what I understand we are all using XboxOne S connected to 4K TVs. So this is some sort of upscaling or downscaling issue. Or, Andromeda is just too big
    in 4K and the world can't handle it.

    Does the Xbox 360 support 1080p or not?

    [quote user="REK 1"]but it was not really designed to run at 1080p,[/quote]What, the scaler? Scaling's done by dedicated resources in the GPU. Because it didn't ship with the feature doesn't mean it wasn't considered during design.
    nothing on xbox
    live video or games run at 1080P
    Untrue. There are many 1080p videos on many of the 360's video services. I own Archer on Zune/XBOX Video. Those episodes are 1080p on the 360. Ever try to read the label on a bottle of Formula K at 720p and then at 1080p?
    Big difference..
    720P is most and xbox upscales it but not native,
    The 360 can output a 1080p signal. What the source material was is of little consequence.
    like if u put 1080P video in xbox, it will downscale it to run through the cpu/gpu
    for more speed then it will upscale it in the video output
    This is gibberish.
