Gran Turismo hits 4x full HD resolution in tech trial

Introducing: People who are really serious about their car porn. Check out what they did to Gran Turismo 5 Prologue during the Downshift Session 08 in New York.

I know Gran Turismo = Car porn but wow… These guys really take it to extremes.

Gran Turismo 5 Prologue already sports Full HD resolution at 1920 x 1080 pixels. Undoubtedly this is the prettiest looking racer around (or the prettiest demo of one, at least). 1080p is the highest possible resolution for TV.

Not high enough for the guys at the Downshift Session in New York, apparently.

During the tech trial, they wired four Playstation 3s together and had each show a fourth of GT 5 Prologue on a Sony SRX-S110 projector. The result was four times the normal resolution of the game, around 8.3 million winking pixels. May as well have raced real cars already (at least you get to see collision damage).

It should be noted that this level of crazy car porn demands an extremely high quality image from the source that can withstand the ultra high resolution. Gran Turismo naturally provided just that.
