On the S the technique is clearly to decrease the bottom render decision after which to ask the upscaler to interpolate extra. Reaching 1440p in 60 FPS is feasible but it surely relies upon how a lot commerce off you might be prepared to make on particular person pixel high quality. For us, 30 FPS was the restrict on this gen to achieve the render high quality we needed, however different video games can have totally different priorities.”
