The Nintendo Switch 2 supports two versions of Nvidia DLSS technology: a standard version similar to PC's CNN model for upscaling games to 1080p and a "DLSS Light" version for resolutions beyond 1080p, reaching up to 4K when docked. The "DLSS Light" version sacrifices some sharpness in motion but allows for higher resolutions with half the frame-time cost. This unique DLSS implementation is tailored to the Switch 2's hardware constraints, offering a balance between image quality and performance. Nintendo has yet to utilize DLSS in first-party games, leaving room for potential future enhancements with more efficient DLSS models.
