We can finally put the rumors to rest: Switch 2 does indeed feature ray tracing and DLSS thanks to its Nvidia graphics chip, bringing it in line with the features offered in the manufacturer's high-end PC graphics cards.
"The Nintendo Switch 2, unveiled April 2, takes performance to the next level, powered by a custom NVIDIA processor featuring an NVIDIA GPU with dedicated RT Cores and Tensor Cores for stunning visuals and AI-driven enhancements," Nvidia says in its announcement.
There are a whole bunch of different AI upscaling techniques for different pieces of hardware out there – console players might be familiar with PS5 Pro's PSSR technique – but DLSS tends to produce some of the technique's best results. I've had a DLSS-equipped GPU in my gaming PC for years, and at this point I turn the feature on pretty much the instant I launch a new game. After dealing with blurry Switch 1 games with mediocre-to-bad frame rates for so long, I'm very excited to finally have confirmation that DLSS is going to be available on Switch.
