DF Direct Weekly #209: Cyberpunk 2077 Switch 2 Hands On...etc

Yes, it can drop but not nearly like it drops with "auto" clocks.

what happens is that the system will prioritize GPU glocks over CPU clocks.
this can do more harm than help in AAA titles.
the auto function is usually the best way to go.

going back to Ghostrunner 2, when I set the GPU clocks to 1.6 ghz, it will indeed hang closer to that target, but the CPU clocks go from 2.6 ghz to below 2 ghz or just around 2 ghz, which in that game gave me a net framerate reduction of 5 to 7 fps, even tho my GPU clocks in auto mode are only 1.3 ghz on average with dips below that.

so, using the custom GPU clocks is only advisable if you know you can spare CPU clocks.
it's a tradeoff in both auto and custom mode.
in older games, like good ports of 2013~2018 PS4/One ports that are very light on the CPU, you might be able to get away with doing that. in games that are more modern and CPU heavy it's not a good idea.
and probably if you play such older, light CPU load games, the GPU will automatically boost anyway

What PS4 port does it not run though? Spider-man, God of war, RDR2 etc. If there's a bad PC port then of course its directly impacted.
PS4 games generally run at 1080p though, so if the Steam Deck can get broadly similar image quality and performance at 1280×800, then that already indicates it is doing substantially less well.
 
Everyone complaining about Switch2 Cyberpunk performance should watch how fabulously steam deck runs at 20fps with potato picture quality settings and stutters. And deck should be around PS4 level.

Whats gonna happen to me? You should stop listening to your Kirby pillow 🤣

Accept reality
Just wondering what your end game is with all this. Is this console such a threat that you have to proove something negative about it. Just let people be excited for the new Switch 2. I am sure this should not have any effect on your own peronal favorite console. Just seems very sad to me.

SweetTooth is basically the Sony version of Gigabowser. They approach everything with a console warrior mindset.
 
How can people play this? with these kinds of graphics?

The graphics are shit. the frames are shitter. I can almost feel the input lag of the controller thanks to these shitty frames.

If you do not want to optimize a 5 years old game to run properly at least rock solid 30 fps without frame pacing issues then for the love of god do not even announce the game.
