I thought this was a technical marvel for the Switch until I heard the resolutions. Its like the resolution of CoD games on last gen.

He said 60 fps was amazing due to bottleneck or whatever, but its evident the real bottleneck with UE4 is the GPU usage. For example Ark is pretty good at targeting 30 fps, while the sacrifice was clearly on GPU.

 Ark is  pretty bad example to use. The porting studio of that game recently mentioned that Ark Switch port was release well before the port was done and that they have improvement to the resolution and framerate possible; but StudioWildcard won't return there calls.

You missed my point entirely.

I'm saying there is enough evidence that the UE4 engine actually works well on Switch, PS4, and X1 on the CPU side. UE4 games have generally done pretty well at targeting 30 fps and even 60 fps on X1/PS4. Its often at the compromise of resolution and other visual aspects though. Its most prevalent on X1 where they target 720p/60 fps.

Hence, the DF guy said hitting 60 fps is difficult because of the CPU. I'm saying UE4 games seem to run okay on the CPU side but really struggle on GPU. The Switch running this game at 60 fps is proof of this, while the resolution of the game takes a huge hit.
