- Cyberpunk 2077 of CD Projakt Red has been exhibited in Nintendo Switch 2
- Comparisons between this and other consoles such as steam and PS5 deck have been made
- DLSS seems to be at the forefront of performance and visual capabilities of the hand computer
The launch of Nintendo Switch 2 is almost here, and will come with a handful of ready titles for players to immerse from the first day. Fortunately, we now have an early look at one in particular, from the CD Projakt Red Game developer.
In a Nintendo Life YouTube video, CD Projakt Red’s Cyberpunk 2077 It is revealed by executing in Nintendo Switch 2, with visual quality that rivals other PC hand computers such as steam cover. This is thanks to the personalized NVIDIA T239 chip, which allows the new hand computer to take advantage of the DLSS increase, to obtain a better performance than the native while increasing a lower internal resolution.
Taking into account the above expectations that were based on hardware rumors (which proved to be legitimate), Cyberpunk 2077 He has impressed many players with their lighting and environment details. However, it is worth noting that it is rumored that the DLSS improvement of NVIDIA is used in some of the blurred sequences in the game showcase.
This is to be expected since the switch 2 is already pushing above its weight in executing a game like Cyberpunk 2077. But there are still very obvious performance falls, particularly during the vehicle route, which highlights the potential problem: if DLSS is used aggressively and the performance is not at the same time, seeing the falls in what looks like the upper end of 20 fps, then is it really impressive after all?
It is worth noting that it is not exactly clear what segments of the game below are docked or hand (it is likely that the first one considers the quality of the 4K video), and there will be an option between the quality and the performance modes.
This also remains a work in progress and will probably be drastically different from the launch version, but it will be interesting to see how this is going against the MSI Claw 8 AI+, which offers excellent images and performance reproduction Cyberpunk 2077 -There with other next hand computers such as the recently announced MSI A8 using Ryzen Z2 Extreme of AMD.
Analysis: It is better than I expected, but does not guarantee the cost of switch 2
Now, before saying that I have a Nintendo Switch 2 agenda, I think games like Cyberpunk 2077 Have the potential to further exceed your performance and visual expectations on the device. In spite of that, the $ 449.99 / £ 395.99 / AU $ 699.95 The price makes me ask a basic question: wouldn’t it be better to buy a series of PS5, Xbox X at around the same price, for a better experience?
I could enter portable PC comparisons and the 8 ai+claw processing power, but would hate sounding like a broken disk. Spoiler alert; It is intended to be the best and most powerful device.
However, the simple fact here is that the switch 2 Cyberpunk 2077 It is not in the same visual stadium and in terms of performance as Sony or Microsoft consoles. In that sense, the value of the Switch 2 as a game console rival is lost if it costs almost the same and, nevertheless, it provides a worse experience.
Before pointing out that the MSI Claw 8 AI+ costs more than the PS5 and Xbox X series, it is not in the game console category (it does not come with a spring for additional performance), and its price compared to the switch 2 is still justified considering the packed power in said compact device. If the price of switch 2 was much lower, it would be much more impressed with Cyberpunk 2077The performance, but rates or not, that is not the case.
DLSS seems to be the only factor that will do heavy work with switch 2, and I would say that it is the only reason why its version of Cyberpunk 2077 It can be compared with other manutadios using Xess or FSR (none of which is at the NVIDIA DLSS level). Even then, without tools such as the generation of paintings, it still leaves me without impressing with the Switch 2, but I will happily eat my words if I am demonstrated that it is wrong with their abilities.
