if a have a 1080p tv coupled with my ps4 or xbox one will it make a different if a set the device *console) to run at 720p....
will it be smoother fps.....

It's a manner of saying (read: metaphor) that's not meant to be taken literally. All it implies is that, you don't know what you are talking about. Also, "fake news" is not what you think it is. That said, none of that is your fault as you don't seem to be a native English speaker, and I'm sorry, if anything I said, came across as a personal attack. That 720p comment was by a different person, and even he/she wasn't attacking or trying to smear you. What he/she meant, was that a hypothetical person (not necessarily you) still having a monitor with lower than 720p resolution is likely (not certainly) to have low end hardware not capable of super-sampling. Regarding the topic at hand, smoothness of a game (Frames per second) decreases as the resolution increases, unless by smoothness you mean perceived sharpness. Games run far worse with super-sampling enabled, as they are rendered at much higher resolution than the display is capable of displaying, which is taxing on the hardware, and doesn't make much of a difference other than slightly reduced jagged edges. It's similar to watching 4K videos on a 1080p display. It would look better, but nowhere near as good, as watching them on a 4K display. The reason super-sampling makes sense in case of PS4 Pro is that, older PS4 games don't make use of the extra hardware power of the PS4 pro without a patch, and most older games will never be patched for PS4 Pro. Plenty of new games by smaller developers aren't PS4 Pro enabled as well. In case of these unpatched games, the unused power of the PS4 Pro, can be used for super-sampling. And the patched games are designed to run at high resolution anyway, so there is no performance penalty in rendering them at same resolution for a 1080p display.

Please don't spread fake news about users of this site. It's better to wait until you think of posting something that is about the article or perhaps contributes to a discussion below, but there is no reason to smear other people who want to have healthy discussion.

While this is all great and that.... what does this have to do about phones, or sim cards, or GSM radio connectivity?
I feel like I'm on the wrong site here :\

But, a console is almost a good idea in gaming for the time being considering the soaring price of gpu(miner, pointing at you)

I like the idea of supersampling. It can use more graphics horsepower for a display with not a lot of resolution. I'd want graphics cards to do the same thing, even low end cards. Imagine having a Pentium 4 or a Celeron D and can only use one core. Even imagine having a display under 720p. With a display with more resolution, a game can run smoother, that's my experience. I'd think Supersampling would also do the same effect- make it run better on that one core.
I do not own a PS4 Pro, or any video game console, or even an HDTV, so the only thing I'd plug it in would be a CRT television.
