Nintendo Switch 2 beats Xbox Series S at graphics thanks to smart DLSS technology. The new handheld console makes games look sharper and cleaner than Microsoft's budget machine. CAPCOM proved this with Street Fighter 6 running on the portable system. Digital Foundry experts tested both versions and found Nintendo's device wins the battle. The fighting game looks better on Switch 2 despite having weaker hardware inside.
DLSS magic transforms blurry 540p images into crisp 1080p pictures when players dock their console. Xbox Series S runs the same game at native 1080p but struggles with image noise problems. Nintendo's system also delivers better textures even though it has just 1GB more memory than the Xbox. The Switch 2 version skips some fancy effects like screen reflections and depth of field. Background characters appear in smaller numbers to keep performance smooth.
Handheld mode drops the base resolution to 360p and stretches it to 720p for the small screen. Graphics get reduced further to maintain 60 frames per second during portable play. The results still match PlayStation 4 quality which impresses tech reviewers. Splatoon 3 gets an even more dramatic upgrade on the new Nintendo hardware. The colorful shooter runs at five times higher resolution compared to the original Switch version.
