| Chrkeller said: Sure, but still cherry picking data. The S2 also has significantly lower NPC density. At the end of the day I predicted ps4 to ps4 pro.... which is exactly where DF is placing performance.... people can be upset all day by that, but that doesn't change facts.  And I stand by my original comment, cyber without RT isn't a demanding game, because it isn't. DF also noted the S2'a CPU very much is last generation in performance. At the end of the day the S2 is ps4 tier hardware.  |
No offense, but you didn't actually address the post that was written, and just re-asserted your position.
It's no more cherry-picking to identify the significant ways in which the Switch 2 is exceeding the last generation platforms in Cyberpunk 2077 than it is to identify the ways in which it isn't (especially as the prior are more numerous, and cumulatively significant, than the latter.)
Digital Foundry didn't even make the hard statement you are suggesting they did anyway. Richard was very measured in his statement, and contextualized it pretty well, with a healthy degree of uncertainty. It never was a general statement of the relative performance of the Switch 2 compared to the PS4 and PS4 Pro nor even of Cyberpunk 2077 but how it measured up in a particular area (internal resolution.)
This is the language used,
[After making the internal resolution comparison] "I guess you can say that Switch 2 falls possibly in between PS4 and Pro, though ideally I'd like more data here. And of course, some idea of how much computational load DLSS is putting on the Switch 2's GPU, which is going to be far less with the TAA solutions used by the PlayStation consoles"
And again, I would like to mention that there are cross-platform titles (including, native resolution, this one) where the PS4 Pro and One X have higher internal resolution than the Series S. So, any argument that depends solely on internal resolution here likely also would have to apply to the relative difference between Pro/One X and Series S.
