I've seen DLSS from 360p it's not like some super secret that only you know about. 

It's not that bad at all. Yes there are some artifacts, but what are we talking about here? Playing high end games on a portable machine? Lots of Switch games today look like a borderline blurry/hazy mess in undocked mode, this looks as good or better image quality wise than several titles on the Switch I could name

On a 7-inch screen for an undocked mode, this wouldn't be that bad at all, it looks better than like DOOM Eternal and Witcher 3 and Xenoblade 3 undocked on Switch even at only 360p to draw from, 540p looks completely playable even on a 4K TV. 

As an aside, Apple's M1/M2 Max chips blow all these fucking chips out of the water. The M2 Max is more powerful than a PS5 with only 34 watt power draw versus the fat hog of a PS5 that needs like 200 watts, if Apple really wanted to they totally could make a PS5/XSX portable at 1080p (cut down to 1/3 performance) and wipe the floor with everyone. 

I mean almost every impression i read and even NVDA recommends using it at 1440p. it has to be that while your playing it doesn't look good at all at low resolution using the upscaling.

Nvidia can recommend whatever they want they also have a vested interest in selling newer, more expensive GPUs, I don't think they want to advertise "hey you know you can just run this game at 540p and get a pretty decent experience" too loudly. It's not exactly smart business. 

I can see for myself the results there, and they're fine even at 360p it's fine especially if that was for the undocked mode on a little 7 inch screen. That Death Stranding bit they showed at 360p or 540p would be perfectly playable unless you have a stick up your ass about a little bit of blur or fuzzy towers far away from the on-screen character.

Like whatever, lol. Xenoblade 3, Witcher 3, DOOM Eternal look a lot blurrier on the current Switch and lots of people still play and enjoy those games. The undocked mode just has to be good enough to use in a pinch, it doesn't have to be perfect and is far from perfect on current Switch games. Once it gets up to about 540p the image honestly looks more than good enough to be presentable on a TV screen you sit 5-10 feet away from.
