- Tested by playing the game with plethora of resolution settings. Playing at 1920x1080 allowed the Internal Resolution setting in MVC2 to be set as high as x2, while setting it to 2560x1440 and 3840x2160 allowed the setting to be set to x3 and x4, respectively. Setting a resolution lower than, but in-between those would cause the highest Internal Resolution setting to remain the same. (i.e. if the monitor's resolution is set at 2560x1080, the x2 option would be the highest the player can choose from.)
