    Running LCDs/oleds at lower resolution doesn’t reduce their power requirements because they are still powering the backlight and every pixel. It will only (very) slightly reduce the framebuffer usage and possibly gpu power. Very slightly.

    Reducing the brightness is the only real way to reduce screen power requirements.

      I know about the displays. I’m talking about the difference on the GPU rendering literally anything 3D, which will be pretty massive.
