I was thinking about this specifically during and after my most recent multiplayer online session of the Crucible. And, it had me wondering if this might possibly be a contributing factor towards the crashes / freezes that sometimes happen during the Crucible.
It took a lot to suppress the urge to want to reorient the game screen during the course of the session. Rather than just leave it at the original orientation when I joined. The group I was with had two runs back to back. No stuttering, freezing or crashes at all. And, many of my graphics settings are set towards the low / mid range just as a matter of course to help reduce the possibility of crashes / freezes.
A sample size of two is too small to make any sort of correlation. However, I’ll be doing some more testing of this over the next few days.
