Resident Evil Requiem: Switch 2’s DLSS Image Impresses as Xbox Series S Keeps a 60FPS Edge

Digital Foundry credits Nvidia DLSS for turning very low internal resolutions on Switch 2 into a cleaner final image despite the pixel deficit.

Overview

  • A day-one Digital Foundry comparison finds Series S stronger in raw performance while Switch 2 delivers superior perceived image quality.
  • Series S largely maintains 60 frames per second at a native 720p output using a different upscaling solution.
  • Switch 2 renders at roughly 540p in docked mode and about 360p in handheld, with DLSS reconstructing to the display and a 1080p user interface.
  • Switch 2 targets 60fps with an unlocked frame rate but typically runs in the 40s–50s when docked, dropping to around 30 in stress points and into the 20s in handheld.
  • Digital Foundry describes Capcom’s conversion as elegant and notes that future patches could improve frame-rate discipline.
