Nintendo Switch 2 reportedly uses Nvidia's DLSS to boost frame rates

pcgamer.com:

There are reports today that Nintendo held behind closed doors Switch 2 demos for prospective game developers at the Gamescom 2023 show in Germany last month. Both VGC and Eurogamer have apparently heard this from their own sources—presumably the developers themselves—with the former claiming the next-gen handheld console will again be running Nvidia hardware.

The demo included an updated version of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, designed to make the most of the improved hardware, running at both a higher frame rate as well as a higher resolution. Though everyone seems to be keen to point out this was only a tech demo and not some indication that a remaster was on the cards. Though, y'know, it's easy money, right?

But the more interesting thing for us PC gamers, is probably the suggestion that Nintendo was demoing the hardware running Epic's The Matrix Awakens Unreal Engine 5 tech demo.

The original demo was built to highlight the power of the Microsoft Series X and PlayStation 5, and the capabilities of Epic's UE5 tech in creating practically photorealistic images on those consoles.

Interestingly, the demo was apparently running ray traced visuals, and was utilising Nvidia's Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) in order to offer playable frame rates that will make enabling such fancy effects actually worthwhile.

The original Switch, and subsequent updates, used Nvidia's Tegra X1 and X1+ SoCs. These are the chips you'll find in the Shield Android TV boxes, and they pack ARM Cortex A57 CPU cores as well as a smattering of Maxwell-based CUDA cores. That's the GPU architecture behind the classic GeForce GTX 980 et al.

The Tegra line has been discontinued, however, so what custom Nvidia chip Nintendo would be using
