| sc94597 said: The SW2 version is also native 1440p at 30fps, and the PS4 Pro's framerate is less consistent than SW2. You needed to stay on a certain performance update (before the PS4 Pro patch) and play at 1080p to get a solid 30fps on PS4 Pro. Otherwise there were areas of the game that dropped into the mid 20's. The only big advantage the PS4 Pro and PS4 have shown over SW2 in this game (and some others) is shadow resolution, largely due to the higher memory bandwidth of these platforms. With the DLSS patch the SW2 version will almost certainly exceed PS4 Pro overall, because then it can utilize more of its specialized hardware (tensor cores) to improve image quality further. |
Obviously Switch 2 has a very inconsistent frame rate at 40 and 60fps despite also having dynamic resolution according to that video. I thought the PS4 Pro had a super sampling mode to create a 1440p to 1080p resolution but I guess you are saying there is also a 1080p resolution non super-sampling mode. It's not just shadow quality but draw distance, pop in etc and some additional graphical effects that are enhanced on both PS4 Pro and Xbox One X compared to Switch 2. However they aren't as locked to 30fps as Switch 2 is docked but then Switch 2 has inferior graphic fidelity so maybe that helps it maintain 30fps. This is from memory but the PS4 Pro has about 4 Teraflops of GPU performance and the Xbox One X 6 Teraflops where as the Switch 2 docked is around 2.2 Teraflops however no question the Graphic architecture of Switch 2 is superior and benefits from AI upscaling. I know the Xbox One X has basically a RX580 level GPU which is still very decent on PC for a budget Gaming PC but of course a PC massively exceeds Xbox One X in CPU performance typically. It feels like 10 years ago I was reading about PS4 Pro and Xbox One X versions of Fallout 4.
Like you I feel if DLSS is implemented well the Switch 2 could exceed PS4 Pro in docked mode but we will see. I feel I've been here before expecting Bethesda to do a competent job only to be disappointed by the results. Overall I'm still very pleased with the Switch 2 performance level for this game, I love the variety of options on Switch 2 with regard frame rate. Really performance is as expected but pricing ridiculously high for such a old game. I am really looking forward to playing this at some point when pricing is a fraction of what it is today. I can't imagine it beating the Steam Deck though, the game runs brilliantly on that. I just love Fallout 4 so much I'm happy to start it again on another system and make different choices at the beginning to make it a different experience.
