RDR2 is 1440p and Destiny is 1080p lol.

Red Dead Redemption 2 operating with an internal pixel-count of 1440p. Again, we'll be looking at the specific visual feature set of the Stadia port in future, but first impressions suggest a good level of similarity in terms of specific settings with the Xbox One X version. Meanwhile, the Stadia port of RDR2 also seems to be running at the same 30 frames per second frame-rate as well. 

 

:tom:

lmao.  It's probably because they know damned well rendering at anything higher will just be lost in the quality of the stream anyway.  Still... it should be running 60fps at that resolution. lol

There's the sense that many of the challenges in streaming games have been improved massively since the OnLive days, but bandwidth is still very much a precious commodity for most users and Stadia at its best requires 20GB of the stuff for an hour of play at its highest quality level.

 

It's going to be a while before this will ever be acceptable for most people though...

 

Can you imagine people using Stadia on their mobile phones and forgetting to use Wifi? lmao
