I first stumbled across this problem with COD4. I remember putting it on and thinking WTF when I saw the pixelated gfx.
Like you've said OP, had to untick everything except for 1080P. Not sure if this has been patched though.

Do you notice any other games having problems and reverting to 576p with just 1080p selected?

Lol.
And you ask me if im being argumentative. . lol.

Its still speculation what it runs at.
Again, the smoothing effects/blury effect on the PS3 version hides the jaggies quite well for the most part. So its hard to tell.

Bottom line: Game is advertised as 1080p compatible. Wether thats native or wether thats scaled i dont care. If its advertised as, then it must be able to do so without work arounds. Simple as.

ok. what advantages are you seeing running at 1080p? are you seeing any positive difference? you havent acknowledged the people telling you its more often than not better off in 720p anyway, so why are you pursuing this?

You can let your LCD do the scaling or forcing the PS3 to do it but I think forcing can cause issues with certain games (like Burnout), I have quite a good scaler in my LCD so I just let the PS3 output 720p

What make/model is your TV?

I never said i saw advantages.
Dont carry this on longer than it has to. Lets just leave it at that.

My point was theres partially false advertising going on.

It's ALWAYS running at 1080p on a 1080p TV, it's impossible for it NOT to be. Either the PS3 upscales it or the TV does. The question is did you notice any difference when forcing the PS3 to upscale it instead of the TV? If you didn't or it was worse then just forget it and go back to how you had it before.

Tbh, i thought it was the telly.
I was playing it at 1080p on a Toshiba Z, that broke, and so i got a Sony W4000, and i thought 'its too sharp' of a picture, it does it in everything else, so that much be causing it. Then i noticed it when it displayed the res when it started up.

Sony 40W2000 which, when properly set up) is very good.

There is a big difference between SD DVD's running on my DVD recorder and the PS3 though, upscaled on the PS3 they look much better but it can also be the HDMI cable that is better than a Component cable of the DVD recorder.
