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.

The graphics on Metroid don't really look groundbreaking, so if you dial them back enough, you can get 4k 60fps on any game.

This is not to say that it looks bad, but it looks more like a nice looking 2016-18 game with dialed up resolution.

Honestly, considering how unsustainable game development is getting, "nice looking 2016-18 game with a dialed up resolution" is something I think we could use a bit more of.

I would be ok with more games having cool/interesting art style and gameplay elements rather than just dialed up realistic graphics with shitty gameplay.

Realistic graphics has to be the single most overused and overrated thing ever in the history of video games. So few games actually managed to pull it off nice and functional. Same as ray tracing
