Nvidia announced recently that the Nintendo Switch 2 is compatible with DLSS, a set tools designed to increase game resolution without a performance hit.
According to CD Projekt Red, Cyberpunk 2077 Ultimate Edition will be using DLSS on the Switch 2. The firm said
“We’re using a version of DLSS available for Nintendo Switch 2 hardware, powered by Nvidia’s Tensor cores,” . CD Projekt Red has also revealed that the Switch 2 version will feature different graphics modes, quality and performance, for both handheld and docked.
When docked to a TV, it will offer both a 30fps high-quality mode and a performance mode of 40fps. The latter mode may only be available on TVs with a 120Hz setting. Both modes would use 1080p for the output resolution, with dynamic resolution scaling combined with DLSS.
The quality mode in handheld mode will output 1080p, with DLSS, dynamic resolution scaling and a target frame rate of 30 fps. The performance mode will be reduced to 720p and a target frame rate of 40fps.
Digital Foundry describes DLSS as a “a form of TAA upscaling, but with a twist – by feeding the lower resolution frame along with history from prior frames and other data, such as motion vectors – a neural network is then used to reconstruct the image. As the Switch 2’s GPU includes machine learning tensor cores, there’s no reason why any DLSS technology couldn’t come to the Nintendo hybrid – the caveat being that there’s still a computational cost to using it.”
