No, you fail to read it correctly.
They speaking about reflection resolution, not display resolution!
1080p @30fps = 4k Display with reflections at 1080p 30fps
1440p @ half reflection res gives 40+ FPS
And people are getting 4k from the uploaded video itself is 4K! Its a native 4K video.
It runs in 1080p with 30 fps on a Vega 56. Reducing the resolution of reflections allows much better performance without too much quality loss. For example in half-resolution mode it runs 1440p / 40+ fps.
so taking a 3rd off the entire render, plus halving the resolution of the raytracing to 720p only gives a 10fps improvement... sounds legit
also how is half resolution faster than quarter resolution?
the article doesn't say anywhere close to what you are saying, not in any way that could make sense
