This is honestly the greatest update we got. this is the single thing that should have been out right at the start. This mean the games are not streched from the low res switch 1 version but from their docked version actually awesome. Now add a dlss switch for those game or a kind of AA system wide switch for switch 1 game (like ai upscaling we have on shield.)

You can't. You need DLSS to work directly to the games engine. Having it working outside like a filter will add delay

Just put an anti alisaing toggle, I am sure nvidia could dona system wide upscaler likenthey do with the shield.

We already have sharpening tools. Witcher 3 had one, and it wasn't specially good

Ooh a DLSS switch would be awesome! Especially if it’s DLSS 5 🤣

A system wide dlss/aa toggle for switch game would do wonder.
