If we go by real-world performance of Ampere vs. GCN 1.1, Switch 2 docked is about +20% a base PS4 in terms of raw rasterization. Handheld mode is like 70% of a PS4, but it's aiming for much lower internal resolution than the PS4 to make up for it.

But once we consider DLSS and other modern features, as well as the fact that both modes have 50% more VRAM than a PS4 and a considerably better CPU I think the Switch 2 is in a comfortable place compared to the PS4. Handheld mode should look like PS4 in terms of image quality/asset quality, and docked mode should look and perform considerably better. 

Probably true for first party games and some third party developers like CD Project Red, Croteam and id Software.

But unfortunately I also expect many lazy ports and enhancement packs from Ubisoft, Electronic Arts, Square Enix & Co., where the docked Switch 2 version ain't recognizable better than the PS4 version and the undocked Switch 2 version has problems to keep up with the Steam Deck.

If FF7 Remake is anything to go by, the Switch 2 is using the next generation intergrade version, not the PS4 one. So Square Enix seems to be putting in the effort. 

Ubisoft an EA are a whole different matter, but everything we've been hearing from developers is that the Switch 2 is quite an easy platform to port to. So the gap between the low effort ports and high effort ones probably will shrink.
