How Will be Switch 2 Performance Wise?

Partially based on vibes, but also based on how demanding games are. On paper the 5090 kills my 4090, actually real world performance, 5-8% improvement.  And 5-8% means nothing.  

We're talking about a >30% improvement in a real-world cross-generation game in docked mode, not "5-8%." 

Again, Cyberpunk 2077 is running with 32% more pixels on average, sticks to its 30fps target more consistently, has higher resolution textures and superior scene geometry/LoD management, and this is with DLSS cutting into resources to provide an even better effective image-quality than +32% (without it) would provide. Where the game has the most issues on Switch 2 is in content that isn't even on PS4/Pro.

We're not talking about something "on paper" like floating point performance here, but the actual real world performance in a benchmark title.

I get all thought but via dynamic resolution, games can change by good percent in pixel count.  And I've never noticed.  I notice drops in fps, but not with resolution.  I just don't see that as a huge impact.  

Games look largely the same as ps4.  Omg the fence in the background is clearner...clearer....  sorry man, that doesn't scream huge jump.  It screams minor improvement.  

And I can't wait till the series s with Outlaws is significantly better than S2...  and suddenly all this differences are minor.....  

I just don't agree and you seem way too bent out of shape.  

And correct me but wasn't the S2 behind the PS4 PRO?  Would it help if I called the S2 ps4 pro tier?  Happy to oblige.  

edit

part of it is I did upgrade from ps4 to ps4 pro.  Outside fps, I thought the upgrade was a waste of money.  the differences were too small to warrant the price tag.
