How Will be Switch 2 Performance Wise?

[curl-6]

DF stacked Apex Legends on Switch 2 against Series S, and while Series S has higher settings for things like shadow resolution and ground clutter, Switch 2 actually has superior image quality thanks to DLSS, as we saw with Cyberpunk.

It seems like going forwards image and texture quality could be two areas where Switch 2 has an edge over Series S thanks to DLSS and more RAM, while on the other hand CPU and raw GPU power favour Series S.

"Ps4 to ps4 pro. It will not produce series s visuals much less ps5. Memory bandwidth is going to be a limiting factor. Storage space will also be curious.

So really nothing changes on my end from last generation. The switch 2 will be for 1st party software and third party will be PC/ps5 for noticeably better graphics and significantly better performance (fps, lighting, shadows, etc.). "

My post from around 18 months ago.

Pretty happy with my prediction. DF has the S2 above the ps4 but below the ps4 pro via Cyberpunk.

Memory bandwidth is 102 gb/s, which will limit resolution mostly to 1080p and most third party will be 30 fps.

Storage is an issue, game key cards is atrocious, granted I am fully digital so not a huge deal for me personally.

Got my unit day 1. World is fun and DK is my GotY so far. Still think Nintendo has the best software in gaming.

The GPU is a more capable then I expected but is quickly offset by the lack of VRR in docked mode. The lack of VRR is absurd to me.

Overall, glad I got one. I don't see myself ever missing out on Nintendo software.

Good to see you back man, it's been ages. :)
