⚙️ DLSS Performance Tips for Switch 2
Dock Mode = Best DLSS Output: Native 4K output with the highest stability.
Use Balanced Presets: Unless you prioritize framerate, the “Balanced” DLSS setting usually offers the best experience.
Disable Motion Blur: Many games use it heavily by default — turning it off can sharpen the image and reduce input lag.
Monitor Temps: DLSS helps performance, but extended sessions in handheld mode may still heat up the console. Use a stand for passive cooling.
🛠️ Known Issues and Fixes
DLSS Blur in Handheld Mode: Some users report fuzzy visuals — set DLSS to “Quality” to reduce this.
HDR Causing Color Banding: Turn off HDR in system settings or adjust TV output color range.
