DLSS is widely acknowledged as a game-changing upscaling technology for PC players - but Switch 2 hardware has the tensor cores required to support it, with key support from a number of games. But how can Switch 2 run it when the capabilities of the GPU are so limited compared to PC parts? In this video, Alex goes in-depth on Switch 2 DLSS, confirming that there are actually two different forms of the technology available - the DLSS we know from PC gaming and a faster, far more simplified version. So, how do they compare and to what extent is "Tiny" DLSS compromised compared to the full fat experience?

I wonder if devs can do custom solutions for the upscaling using tensor cores, maybe nintendo or nvidia could produce a better looking version of that "tiny DLSS" because it does a good job when it manages to resolve, just need to grab those edges quicker

How long did Alex need to shower for after using the switch 2 for so long?

Samson

oh silly... the hostage takers only allow him to shower once a week.
