The new Switch could support Nvidia’s DLSS technology that may dramatically improve performance in games.
The new Switch could support Nvidia’s Deep Learning Super Sampling ( DLSS) technology to help it hit its purported 4K resolution target. Bloomberg (subscription required) reports that the console’s new system-on-chip (SoC) will also include an upgraded CPU, increased memory, and will output up to 4K when connected to a TV – presumably via a dock. But it’s the possibility of DLSS which should really get Nintendo fans excited. Nvidia DLSS would be a huge boon for a new Switch. We’ve seen on countless occasions how the technology can dramatically improve performance in a number of PC titles, without impacting image quality. Games like Death Stranding, Crysis Remastered, Cyberpunk 2077, and Control have all benefited from DLSS, and the technology could do wonders for Nintendo Switch games that target a lower resolution. But what is DLSS, and how does it work exactly? Well, without getting too technical, DLSS is an image upscaling technology that uses deep learning algorithms to upscale lower resolution images to a higher resolution.
