The feature, which is buried at the bottom of Nintendo's patch notes, allows for boosted Switch 1 games when playing in handheld, with performance akin to playing with the console docked.

As far as I know Tears of the Kingdom is capped at 30 fps and 900p on Switch 1 in docked mode. This update gets you this Switch 1 docked mode experience on handheld, so it should not get you 60 fps or any of the other improvements of the switch 2 upgrade pack.

So just higher res, that's kind of a lame trade off for less battery life. I've had no issue with lower res S1 titles looking weird on the S2. I guess my pc brain equated bumping cpu speed (which is what the dock does) with increase in fps.
