While other research groups have
achieved higher frame rates (trillion f / s), Wang's camera is the world's fastest 2D camera that doesn't require an external flash or multiple exposures.

It
achieves this by having dynamic resolution scaling, which slides between 1080p and 4K in order to maintain a
higher frame rate.
It's also one of the few games to deliver native 1080p visuals running at a smooth 60 fps - an impressive feat rarely seen on the previous generation of consoles, and something which both the PS4 and Xbox One are struggling to
achieve in an era where pushing prettier pixels on screen is still considered to be more important than targeting
high frame -
rates.
On my HD 7850 (2 GB) at home, I had to knock it down to «
high» to
achieve the same
frame rate.
That said,
achieving 4x MSAA with
frame -
rates and details as
high as this is indeed a technical achievement unmatched by any of Polyphony's competitors (Forza 3 is 720p with 2x MSAA, for example), and there is a definite feeling that Kazunori Yamauchi's team likes to push boundaries like this.
Part of the challenge has been technical, i.e. how do you maximize resources available on a console and still
achieve high visual quality and good
frame rate.
We ran the
high - intensity OpenGL ES 3.1 - based Manhattan and T - Rex HD benchmarks for our tests to
achieve frame rate scores for each device.
