I bought GTA4 a few days ago, and was wondering when i load the game, the resolution changes from 1080p to 720p. Why is that, do i have to change a setting on the PS3?

The TV i have is a Sonly KDL40V3000, connected with a HDMI cable to my 40gb PS3.

Thank You

Try this it should work; Firstly go to to Display Settings then go to Video Output Setttings. Then go on HDMI and go on Custom. Next, 4 boxes will come up untick 720p and 1080i and make sure 1080p's ticked. Then just press X and then click on yes to keep the settings. Should work.

The game actually runs at only 640p, so I wouldn't have thought that forcing it to output 1080p over 720p would make that big a difference (if any at all), but I guess it depends on your TV. Am wondering if this is more a placebo effect than anything else for most people. I would be interested to know if you actually notice any improvement upscaling to 1080p and also if your framerate drops at all as there must be a different hit on the processor upscaling to 1080p instead of 720p...

1080p will be better on the V3000 as it's natively 1080 lines - meaning there's only one layer of upscaling not two.

Less judder and blur when I use 1080p, it's actually playable.
720p is unplayable for my eyes.

Thanks for that, i'm currently playing at 1080p. Not that big a difference though.

Is it just me or do you get a nasty frame rate hit running it at 1080p?

I have a V3000 btw.
