I saw Rich saying at least one of the TVs Cyberpunk was being demoed on got put into showroom mode and had motion interpolation turned on.

Oooh so it was double the frame rate!

... sorry, couldn't resist

So DF confirmed that Street Fighter 6 on Switch 2 is using DLSS. Natively renders at 540p DLSS'd to 1080p Docked.

Meanwhile the PS4 runs the game at native 1080p.

Any suspicion as to why this is? Is it more likely the GPU or the memory bandwidth?

I suspect DLSS takes a bigger hit to memory bandwidth at 60fps on a Unified Memory system thus forcing 540p.

It's probably the memory bandwidth, it's almost half of the PS4. The same thing happened with Xbox One games.
In fact, everyone keeps comparing the Switch 2 to the PS4, but the Xbox One seems like a more realistic comparison.

I'd say, like a Xbox one in portable and a PS4 in docked.

The power of an Xbox One in the palm of your hand

I wonder how Alex can play on Windows XP and share with John Linneman, 'cos afaik if you ever connect a Windows XP machine to the internet, in a few minutes your machine is going to be full of viruses 'cos XP support stopped many years ago and pirates know all the exploits.

I would assume they use a capture card on a modern PC to capture the video and screen share. Also, I have an XP computer, and a Windows 98 one that I sometimes connect to the internet and it's fine, unless you do things that are not fine.

Well, you don't connect PC's straight into the internet. Like most things, you sit them behind a competent firewall, and I'm not talking about the one built into your operating system. You can't imagine the incredble age of devices which underpin billion dollar companies, all of which are sitting behind corporate firewalls.

I've got a Win3.1 box, a Win98 box, and an XP box which all have access to the internet -- the difference is, none of the internet has access to those particular boxes. They've been fine for a very long time, and they'll continue to be fine.

Fully agree with the change in color palette changing the atmosphere of the game.

The brown look is just not that inviting for what’s suppose to be a lush fantasy setting.
