Do most PS3 games run at 720p?

Yes, the vast majority of PS3 games render internally at 720p (1280x720), even if your TV is 1080p, because the console lacked the power for most big games to consistently hit native 1080p while maintaining smooth frame rates. Developers would often render at 720p and then let the PS3's system scaler or the TV upscale the image to 1080p, though some rare titles achieved true 1080p, notes Reddit users.
