How Will be Switch 2 Performance Wise?

Yeah but that isn't really my point.  RT on consoles is low.  When RT is low the quality difference between baked in and RT is negligible.  RE4 is an example of this.  RT on or off is minor at best.  RT shows a stark difference when high, which consoles can't handle, especially the S2.  We are a generation away before we see the real benefits of RT.  Low RT versus off makes no difference in most games.  Half the time I pause the screen and have to hunt to even notice what low RT does.  Now extreme RT is gorgeous but also gives my 4090 20 fps.  

I will guess you've seen this video, but if you haven't...

There is no fallback...as in, most games that have RT option, have it on certain things, but with still a lot of things being solved the other way if RT is disabled. Not so for SWO.

I am aware and to be clear I am not disputing the S2 does RT.  I am disputing the S2 doing RT with a stable framerate at a good resolution.  And SWO, thus far is showing this.  Clear dips in the low 20s and very clearly lower resolution.
