Digital Foundry experts discovered performance variations in Hitman World of Assassination when adjusting Nintendo Switch 2 system resolution settings. Tests revealed the game achieves 62.5 percent speed increases at 720p resolution compared to 4K in GPU-demanding locations like Whittleton Creek. Similar performance gains occurred in Berlin, with 61 percent faster gameplay at 720p and 7 percent improvements at 1080p versus 4K resolution. The modest performance difference between 1080p and 4K suggests NVIDIA DLSS technology upscales images from lower resolutions. IO Interactive could have implemented these display options through in-game menus rather than system-level changes.
The instant resolution switching appears to represent a previously unknown Nintendo Switch 2 feature that responds to system menu adjustments. This capability allows users to activate performance modes by reducing display resolution through system settings rather than game options. Nintendo Switch 2 becomes the first portable gaming device to utilize NVIDIA DLSS upscaling technology. Each technical discovery reveals additional capabilities within the handheld system. The combination of DLSS support and dynamic resolution switching creates new possibilities for optimizing game performance on portable hardware.
