4K gaming could be on the way to the Nintendo Switch, according to a new report from Bloomberg. Apparently, Nintendo has asked developers to make their games 4K-ready, implying that the company could be bringing a 4K console to market for the first time. Production of existing consoles has been increased by 20%, too.

The article never mentioned a 4K touchscreen. The article is probably referring to the maximum output resolution in docked mode when mentioning 4K. And you do realise that there are Nintendo games that run at 1080p in docked mode and 720p in handheld mode? The article did mention DLSS, which is amazing technology that can take a lower resolution image, like a 1080p image as an example, and upscale it to 4K. And in some instances, DLSS 4K looks better than native 4K.

Never when it's upscaled from 1080p, and only when the genuine 4K image is rendered with TAA. TAA is the worst form of anti-aliasing - it smears everything. It's like winning a race against an opponent who you hit with a shovel first.
