I followed the discussion up to this point.
From what I understood, and to summarize the overall expectations about the Switch 2:
- It should perform in the range of 2-3 tflops when docked.
- Using DLSS tech it will upscale resolution at no cost while saving battery life.
- Overall, thanks to DLSS and the extra available resources, "perceived" graphics quality should be comparable to a 4-5 tflops capable machine doing standard rendering.
And this is perfectly fine to me, for a next-gen Switch, the gap in "perceived" visual quality will be in the order of 10x compared to the current Switch with its 0.5 tflops of raw power. Next-gen Nintendo games (and second parties) will look stunning on this new console, while almost all PS5/Xbox games could be ported easily with expected, but not too limiting, graphics downgrades.
If this is really the case, Nintendo will have hit the mark this time too.
