Digital Foundry: Nintendo Switch 2 has two separate DLSS types


Digital foundry has published an interesting video looking at upscaling on Nintendo Switch 2 with DLSS. The team say they’ve heard from a “respected developer” that the Nintendo Switch 2 supports two different types of DLSS. One is similar to the methods used on PC, while the other is basically DLSS Lite, which is cheaper, newer and comes with more compromises.

“We asked a respected developer behind the scenes who is familiar with the matter, and they came back to tell us this: DLSS on Switch 2 has two types; one that is much like the CNN presets on PC, and one that has presets that are roughly half the cost in terms of frametime than the CNN model. This cheaper model of DLSS is newer and in their experience it causes image quality to have characteristics I described here. It suffers in movement, although it may be sharper in stills. Hearing directly from a developer to confirm our findings is interesting. Two types of DLSS: that normal PC type we’ve known for ages that we see in Cyberpunk and another type like we see in the Tourist.”
