Was Nintendo right to opt out of the graphics arms race?

So far there are two types of DLSS used on Switch 2, according to Digital Foundry.

The first resembles the CNN model of DLSS used on PC; this is used in games like Cyberpunk 2077 and Street Fighter 6, and typically upscales to 1080p.

The second is a "lite" version specific to Switch 2; this is used in games like Fast Fusion and Hogwarts Legacy, and can upscale to higher resolutions like 4K and 1440p, but has more aliasing/disocclusion artefacts in motion.

Both are generally better than PSSR.

The lite model is not great.... its worse than even the oldest models of DLSS on pc.
I think PSSR is probably better than the Lite version, tbh.

There are rumors of PS5pro getting FSR4 soon, at that point, it will be far far ahead of the DLSS on the switch.

DLSS "Lite" generally looks fine on Switch 2 provided it's not used in a very fast moving game where each frame is very different from the last, in Hogwarts Legacy for instance it holds up quite well, same for Star Wars Outlaws, both of which take a native 720p and revolve a frame that can pass for a much higher pixel count.
