The reason most games on PS3 dont run in 1080 is because of RAM limits. And the few that do are most likely upscaled. Same with the 360. That console though force upscales everything so your TV thinks it is recieving a 1080 signal, when if you look at the actual resolution it is not 1080. Both consoles are limited by their 512MB ram and I think it is a rather silly oversight on Sony and Microsoft to have put so little memory into their systems.
Looking at PC graphics cards, try to get a 512MB card to run a game at 1920x1080. Its just not going to happen. The FPS will be terrible, if the card even supports that resolution. Even 1GB cards have problems at 1080.
My 3 year old mid range Radeon 4850 512mb ran most all of my games at 1920x1080 @60hz with 8x AA and 16xAnis. Filtering including 2011 titles. The questiom now is why does the Skyrim packaging say it supports 1080 resolution? That is ram just for the GPU while on consoles that ram is for everything, while your PC has system ram as well most likely 2gigs or more. I know, but that guy was claiming that desktop GPUs had a hard time running 1080, when as far back as 3-4 years ago it was no problem, granted the PS3 hardware is 5 years old. Someone said you can "force" 1080 on Skyrim, how can you do that? I mean it makes sense since the box clearly states 1080 resolution.
