[Rumor] Nintendo Switch 2 reportedly uses Nvidia's DLSS to boost frame rates
Behind closed doors developer demo of the upcoming hardware at Gamescom highlights Nvidia hardware.
Interestingly, the demo was apparently running ray traced visuals, and was utilising Nvidia's Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) in order to offer playable frame rates that will make enabling such fancy effects actually worthwhile.
While there's a current DLSS thread, am I the only one who actually likes the aesthetics of DLSS, regardless of FPS? It adds a softness to the whole image that reduces eye strain for me and make the game more cinematic almost.
8From what I understand, DLSS is also the best anti aliaser there is. No jaggies makes everything easier on the eyes
8The recent versions are much better. But it also depends on the engine. I haven't played Cyberpunk2077 since release, but there the trailing shadows of moving people and cars were very visible. Hopefully these issues are a thing of the past.
3There's "DLAA" which has the DLSS softness without the upscaling part. Some games support it, would recommend checking it out.
2Noted, thank you

I'll check it out when I can afford a gaming pc again

Ray tracing sounds like a stretch, but with frame generation nothing seams to be impossible anymore. Though I'd rather see them target consistent 60fps now.
2target consistent 60fps
I've been saying this for like four console generations at this point and they always end up aiming for ~30fps.
1Frame gen below 60fps should really not be used, the latency becomes too high.

Is anyone else done with Nintendo? I bought the switch when it first came out after buying every other dang console for years and it just snapped in me finally that many of their flagship games are the same lifeless thing every time and not even as close to fun as their predecessors that I can still play today. Mario party was such a fucking let down for me. The only game I was able to get into so far was smash bros and it didn't last too long. Tried that animal crossing game during pandemic but it was so bad you were just a manipulated slave to animals getting you to put chairs in your house..it was Soo boring. I tried Zelda too but man I didn't enjoy weapons constantly breaking. I think the last straw for me was the new Pokemon games and how bad they ran. I came to the conclusion what's the point of buying this thing when I just have way more fun on PC for way cheaper price for games overall? Can't even play with anyone on Nintendo anyways without paying for access to their servers while also having to have Internet. Even if you get a ballin PC overtime the game library is way more extensive and less expensive for the most part with sales and steam key sites. Nintendo never budges on pricing for anything.
-7Mario Odyssey was the best Mario game I've every played, so not all bad. I just borrowed a Switch to play it though. Nobody is forcing you to pay the Nintendo tax!
5I've played the switch more hours than I think any previous console. For all its flaws the switch is home to so many quality Nintendo experiences at this point that if someone finds that this is the generation that they've tired of Nintendo then it's possible they simply don't like Nintendo style games anymore.
Mario Party indeed was a pile of shit. But there are so many incredible games.
3I like it
