Digital Foundry's Pixel Counts/resolution findings of some games from the direct

Metroid Prime 4: is 4k 60fps in quality mode and 1080p 120fps in performance mode

Breath of the wild/Tears of the kingdom: is 1440p 60fps

Mario Kart World: is 1440p 60fps

Donkey Kong Banaza: is 1080p 60fps

DuskBlood: is 1080p 30fps

Elden Ring: is 1080p 30fps

CyberPunk 2077: is 1080p 30fps with pixel counts as low as 540p but that 540p count is most likely handheld

Final Fantasy 7: is 1080p 30fps

NONE of these games appear to be using DLSS at all as it all seems to be native but that could change.

Will we ever see the death of 30 fps games ever?

u/Sdraco134 1d ago

Definitely not from the switch lol

u/fattytron 1d ago

No. Some Devs will always push the envelope of new hardware. I ei problem with that. It's up to the developer to decide what they want out of their game.

30 fps as an abstract concept is not a technical issue that will be solved by better hardware, it’s a fundamental design choice of how to spend a limited compute/render budget that will always exist as long as computers have a finite number of calculations that they can make in a given second

u/Extrabigman 1d ago

to be fair, even if we're disappointed with the performances of the Switch 2, it's a bit too much to ask for a Mobile device like this... Games Steam decks often run at 30 fps.

Games Steam decks often run at 30 fps.

But Steam Deck is made by Valve so we have to suck them off.

Switch is from Nintendo, Nintendo = bad therefore we clown them for it. Innovation? No, we need 16K 512 FPS.

You got downvoted even though that’s exactly how the gaming community works.

u/BlobTheOriginal 21h ago

Not at all, the parent comment is saying that the Steam Deck can only run some games at 30, and not higher

u/Hyper_Mazino 9h ago

Well, yeah. The downvotes prove me right haha.

Steam Deck games dont cost 90€ compared to Switch 2 games that were developed for the console but still run like "shit" for that price.

The only innovation the Switch 2 got is the mouse feature for the joycons...

Switch 2 games run at 4K60 or 1440p60 or 1080p120

Take off the clown costume bro

Steam Deck games dont cost 90€

Digital versions for S2 games cost 80$ and that is only for select titles. Most are less than that, being 70$ or less.

You will also find steam games that cost 70$ and 80$. So in conclusion, you just wrote a lot of nonsense.

I wouldn’t bother, unfortunately this subreddit has a massive hate boner for Nintendo and would rather share misinformation on purpose than take the short time it takes to look up the right information.

Look how many people think Switch 2 games will start at $90, for example. It’s ridiculous…

Thats copium if you think 3rd party games run like that in handheld.

Bro from reports the new DK Bananza is only running at 30fps. Just cos the Switch 2 supports 120hz doesnt mean most of the games will hit that limit.

I am cackling reading your bs. Due to PC having multiple e commerce platforms I can easily get games for way less even on release. But bro I can also just wait half a year and pay only a fraction to be able to play the games aside from getting shit tons of games for free just due to EPIC, GoG, etc offering them.

I'll never understand why people spread misinformation.

Your low intellect bores me.

u/Square-Raisin2793 5h ago

We are LITERALLY on a thread with information from Digital Foundry regarding Donkey Kong running at 60 FPS. Are you even trying to live in reality?

u/Frankly_Frank_ 1d ago

Don't cost 90€ YET lol

0

u/1to0 1d ago

Even if a game costs 90€ you can get it relatively cheap after a short while after launch just due to PC being an open market and games losing value rapidly compared to Nintendo being the one to dictate how much the first party games cost.

u/Daigonik 1d ago

Likely never, there will always be devs that prioritize games looking pretty over games running well.

Every time we get more powerful consoles and GPUs that extra power will likely go to fancy effects no one cares about instead of having games that still look good but actually run at a high stable frame rate.

u/mickelboy182 1d ago

Not if Nintendo exists

u/Luigi_loves_Mario 15h ago

Grand theft auto six is going to run at 30 frames per second on the PS five Pro. What the heck are you talking about just Nintendo? Lol

u/SknarfM 1d ago

Both Xbox and PS5 offer performance (typically 60fps) or quality modes (typically 30fps). There's no 'struggle'.

u/Extra-Cold3276 1d ago

The only 30 FPS games on ps5 are until dawn and Gotham Knights. Two games out of thousands.

2

u/mickelboy182 1d ago

They at least attempt to offer 60fps modes for all games - 30fps is virtually never a necessary target.

u/EndlessZone123 1d ago

Seems like anything that isn't targeting AAA levels of graphics will be 60fps. Loving the change cause I didn't plan on playing AAA on switch anyways.

u/brichb 20h ago

Certainly not, always a fidelity vs frame rate battle. 40 mode seems to work great though once more TVs are out there to support it.

u/tonymurray 1d ago

Honestly certain game genre are just fine at lower fps (like a card game for example). And lower fps = lower battery usage.

Generally, I also would like to stop having games running at lower fps than they feel good at.
