Not many games actually run at 1080p 60fps, but the likes of Titanfall and Call Of Duty Ghost's drop frames every couple of minutes, it's not something most people would notice but I can feel it when playing the games and in bad occasions I can see it and those games iirc run at 720p 60fps or 900p 60fps.

Destiny doesn't really suffer but I have noticed it once, but only once and that was after I had been on Destiny for 8 hours solid.

The issue that Microsoft and Sony have is that they went with AMD for both the CPU and GPU and, when you look at what these systems are expected to do then the components chosen when combined won't do it.

The consoles have a 8 core cpu and a single graphics card and 8Gb of shared ram when it should have been 4Gb system ram and 6Gb dedicated Vram, and with both the CPU and GPU being low end stuff they struggle like crazy which is why most games coming out are 900p 60fps, because they just cannot get them to 1080p 60fps and that is on both consoles.

The CPU would have been a good choice had they gone for a decent graphics chip, but as they went with AMD for the graphics they were instantly never going to hit the 1080p 60fps performance that they wanted, because the last gen AMD cards that could do that performance were to hot and pricey, and the same with the current gen.

Nvidia were not really any better but if they had got the money from the consoles, then Maxwell could have been brought out sooner and all games would be running, at 1080p 60fps easily and then the consoles would last longer than the 3 years I predict before there are new consoles coming out.
