The Ps4 and X1 versions are running poor resolutions but thats with a massive improvment in graphics settings.

The Switch version has abysmal resolution and graphics settings so poor they arguably should disable them entirely. For example, cant they just turn off the shadows entirely?

However, I do see this Switch port as an interesting experiment. Its a very taxing (poorly optimized) 8th gen that appears to be fully functional on Switch. That suggests virtually any 8th gen works on Switch. Also a better optimized games work even better on Switch, as we see with Doom and Wolf 2.

A game like RDR2 though... the graphics would need to be scaled far back to just maintain 480p.

This game is unoptimized mess in any case, game runs 640p on base PS4 while on same console we have RDR2 running at 1080p with much better frame rate.

Agreed, that's why I said 480p and not 170p.

But don't just look at the PS4, the Switch is even far below the X1 in GPU.
