| sc94597 said: PS4 settings are pretty much the same thing as Steam Deck (preset) settings, which both are roughly a mix of low, medium, and high settings of the PC title. There is a Steam Deck preset designed to run at 800p 30fps (with FSR Balanced so really more like 540p internally.) These are the preset settings
When I run that preset on my Rog Ally Z1E (a handheld that is 30% stronger than the base Steam Deck) I need to run it at 720p (slightly worse than 540p internally) to get a stable 40fps. This is what the game looks like.
This is what the game looks like when I target 1080p (~720p internally) and 30fps.
Here is what the game looks like on Switch 2 So yes, it's comparable, but the Series S version isn't much higher than this in terms of graphics quality settings (a few more high toggles rather than medium.) Where the Series S shines is in resolution and frame-rate. The Switch 2 version (docked) is targeting settings/performance similar to (if not slightly better than, given they want 1080p 30fps) the Rog Ally version given CDPR's performance goals. That makes sense because the Switch 2 is roughly on par with a Rog Ally. This is a half-tier above the PS4/Steam Deck in terms of image quality/performance, and a half-tier below the Series S in terms of image quality/performance. I don't consider that disappointing really. It's what you would expect for a demanding multi-platform game. |
Yeah, DF are bit off comparing it to stock PS4 - even with its anemic texture fill rate and memory bandwidth, Switch 2 is ahead of PS4 in pretty much everything comparable, let alone when tech that PS4 doesn't have is accounted for.
That said, I can see why they chose "curb your enthusiasm" path for now, instead of going unhinged with wild comparisons (like some fans tend to, since Wii U onward).
Speaking of DF, they should really bring in someone way more tech savvy, that kid at Threat Interactive (he comes off very rough, but speaks the facts) is ripping them a new one with detailed rendering analyses of unoptimized games DF proclaimed to be tech marvels and calling them out on praising shit like TAA.
