Today we showcase whether or not the Steam Deck can keep up with a newer console such as the Switch 2, we do this by replicating the Switch 2 settings as best as we can which were found here: reddit.com/r/cyberpunkgame/comments/1l6svxg/these_are_the_graphics_settings_for_cyberpunk_on
Using these settings we can see that the Steam Deck is able to get very close to Switch 2 in performance, and using a dynamic XeSS 2 mod through Optiscaler which provides much closer image quality to DLSS than FSR, Optiscaler reports similar internal resolutions too, it reported an average internal resolution of 600p~720p upscaled to 1080p with dips to 540p under load most likely due to the 15w TDP
We think this is still a win for Switch 2 thanks to DLSS and it's higher TDP in docked but what do you think?
