Depends on the port team and effort.

This does not look promising. 

That is entirely down to the 2050 only having 4 gigs of VRAM. The power gap between the 2050 and 8GB 3050 is big but the latter can run the game at 1080p 60fps so 30fps should be no problem for the Switch 2 considering how well optimized the game is. Hell with some DLSS maybe a 40fps mode could be doable.

Doesn't the RTX 2050 run cyberpunk much better then switch 2? I would think the down clocking will even things out.

You can get higher FPS with that than the Switch 2 but the latter will have better visuals if I have it right.

Not really. RTX 2050 is good deal more powerful then Switch 2 because of the down clocking in all the game comparisons i looked at.

How does that video go against what I said?

This is running higher settings and resolution then Switch 2. So Switch 2 does not look better or run better.

It's not that simple. The Switch 2 version uses a hybrid of last gen and current gen console settings with it matching the PS5 version in terms of texture quality so it exceeds the more powerful Series S in that regard.

DF said they mostly  share the same textures across the board with  last gen except for certain textures. Not to mention that Cyberpunk has had custom work done with them removing some shadows, and assets even lower then the ps4 version. The RTX 2050 still running much better, it looks pretty simple to me.

They did not say mostly and the ground texture difference is big, it can genuinely look like crap when turned down so it's a notable advantage it has. They also said the Switch 2 version holds it own against the Series S's 1440p quality mode due to better upscaling. To be clear I would still consider playing it on the Switch 2 to be worse overall than the 2050 due to the latter being able to get better performance but my main point is both have their own benefits.

I would hardly call the benefits comparable. The RTX 2050 is doing 1080p upscaled to 1440p DLSS so much better IQ, much better frame rate and better assets. As for the textures, here is a comparison video it's hardly looks like crap on series s while the pro has the same textures for some reason.

 

Edit: just watched the DF video they say in fairness many of the textures are universal across all 4 consoles, talking last gen and current.

The RTX 2050, in the video you shared, isn't doing 1080p upscaled to 1440p. It is doing 1080p DLSS Quality, which is internally 720p. Internally, Switch 2 is averaging about 75% of the pixels of 1080p (at times it hits the 1080p target, at other times it goes as low as 720p.) The Switch 2's Quality mode, at its worse, is comparable to the RTX 2050's image quality in the video you shared - roughly 44.4% of the pixels as native 1080p. 

Frame-rate is mainly a CPU-bound workload in a comparison like this. Switch 2's performance mode has shown us as much. So it's not the 2050 that is outclassing Switch 2 here, but whatever basic i5 is in the laptop. 

The texture difference is pretty obvious, where the textures are different. Digital Foundry showed as much in their video. 

Unless you think Indiana Jones is going to be running in the single digits, I really don't see what you're arguing here. Obviously the Switch 2 game is going to run better than the RTX 2050 can handle it, because the main issue is a lack of VRAM.
