Care to share a link where andantech is doing this?

Even disregarding the usual bottlenecks, Anandtech is casting doubt on that claim.

Laughing at you hard, you mean, slaphead.

No. Checkerboard 1800p renders only half of pixel count of full 1800p. This is why it is called “checkerboard”. Missing pixels are taken from last frame. So it renders only half of resolution 1800p. After reconstruction of full 1800p frame is scaled to 4K in standard upscale.

Final count of rendered pixels in “checkerboard 1800p” is lower than normal 1440p.

It is important to distinguish between rendering process and the end result.
a Checkerboard resolution, uses a smaller base resolution, but resolves higher. Its not an upscaling technique and most will have you believe. Its an extremely smart rendering technique that will provide benefits on all systems going forward.

While it resolves to a full pixel count for whatever is targeted, 4k, 1800p, etc. however It does have some artifacts due to the nature of the calculations.

No.
Checkerboard 1800p means the developers achieve a pixel count of 1800p using the checkerboard method.

GT Sport Beta currently does this, then they do a regular upscale to 4k from checkerboard 1800p. its not quite as sharp at native 4k, but its not far off either.

S’all good. Thx for finding that link tho

Ik i was thinking of Xbox One and how Scorpio has an additional 1GB more for system resources.

5GB GPU 3GB Sys. OS(X1) vs. 8GB GPU 4GB Sys. OS (Scorpio)
