Yeah, it is just an unnecessary intermediate step to scale from 720p to 1080p and after that from 1080p to 2160p which changes the output quality to the worse in step 1. 720p to 2160p allows proper scaling: every pixel gets tripled horizontally and vertically. |
It's actually worse than that.
A game may start life out at 960x540 resolution... The Switch will upscale that to 1920x1080 in docked mode... And then the Television will take that input and upscale it again to 3840x2160.
It's far to much upscaling and you get reduced image quality because of it.
Wyrdness said: Pretty sure X1S has a dedicated chipset for upscaling as well as certain spec changes to accommodate that not too mention they had to add in features to deal with the heat generated. |
It doesn't have a dedicated chipset. It's part of the main chipset.
AMD has a dedicated hardware block in it's GPU's that handles such tasks.

4k output has got absolutely nothing to do with running games at 4k.
