You can tweak them yes but they will generally still be of a far

resolution than the display is capable of.

Oh, I understand that. But "far lower resolution than the display is
capable of" on a PC is just about what "the display is capable of," if
not more, on a console. That's all I was trying to say.

But they will still be far lower resolution than a 1080p TV is capable of. Most game still use textures that look blocky at up close on 1024x768 resolution display.

Some engines can theoretically handle massive texture resolutions but a tope of the line gaming rig will still not have the power to run games that use these textures whole-sale, especially once you throw all the other CPU/GPU loads into the mix.
