I feel like it is slightly better than 7th gen, but well below 8th. Of course, it is really difficult for me to compare, as I've not played any game on Switch that I also played on XB or PS. We know for sure that it is well below PS4 and XB1, as there have been a ton of side-by-side comparisons. But, aside from Skyrim, there's not much in the way of AAA games to directly compare. Even with Skyrim, the comparisons aren't really fair, as the devs have the advantage of having ported the game and remastered it a whole bunch already.

For me though, it doesn't matter. I buy Nintendo systems to play Nintendo games. Nintendo, in turn, makes games that don't need cutting edge tech to look great. From what I've seen so far, the Switch does this job perfectly. (I will say that BotW certainly could have made use of better hardware. But, it was still beautiful in its own way.)
