Can we steer the thread back from this back and fourth as both sides are arguing points that are valid but are being rigid in the conduction of the debate, yes S2 much better than expected? Yes is it well above certain other platforms? No it's numbers put it around Ps4 Pro level but at the same time it's a custom chipset and some dedicated hardware for certain functions like RT so the numbers aren't the full story especially with modern architecture as the numbers work differently. For reference a developer highlighted that S2's immediate performance is more around XSS level from their testing and this is early on in its life and that comes from people actually working with the hardware and this is backed by how the version of CB2077 that S2 runs is a version of the XSS version, this is known as in the coding it has settings that was exclusive to XSS version (literally no other version has it) so I'm inclined to believe it's more an XSS in performance than PS4P, DLSS also changes the math as cut backs can be made and the game scaled up to a fidelity that an older platform can't match.
Every game released at this point can run on all platforms with tweaks it's just that newer platforms incorporate newer features but ultimately it's a tiring debate because graphical leaps have diminished in returns, HZD on PS4 still looks on par with most games released after it as does GOT etc... GTA6 if they wanted could run on PS4.
