What we then don't know is how its upscaling performance works - could upscale games to 4K with relative ease for all we know. And even then, looking a PS4 (base) performance and comparing it to the PS5 games - the jump in quality isn't really that noticeable. Better FPS sure. Better resolution sure. Better SFX like ray-tracing sure. But the overall improvement isn't that significant.

Nintendo Filmed An Advert in My Local Cafe A Few Days Ago live in North London, a few days ago my local cafe owner told me they would be shut from 1pm to 7pm, because Nintendo were using the location to film an advert. I asked one of the workers if she had any idea what the advert could be, and she said possibly a new game. I replied by telling her it was more likely to do with the new console... It's a cool cafe, it's small but the interior is very stylish, with classic record cover adorning the shelving and subdued lighting. Looking back at the first advert reveal of Nintendo Switch, I get the distinct impression they chose this location to get a similar feel.

Im still pretty impressed with games like Nier Automata on Switch, which can hit 1080p, even if it does look visually inferior. So im pretty excited to see what 3rd party devs can do with the next console.

Idk what you are expecting but a handheld will not be as strong as a ps5 at this time.

Why would you assume that on significantly more powerful hardware Breath of the Wild would be being upscaled from a lower resolution that it runs on the Switch?

Found myself buying copies of various Amiga Magazines recently here in Australia :-)

I would like to see a dock that has active cooling to help push the clocks. Another cool option would be to put tenser cores in the dock itself since you would need DLSS the most when running on a 4K TV this could disable the switch tenser cores while docked reducing heat and saving power to be used for the GPU and CPU maybe an extra 100$ for a switch pro dock although this could add input delay depending on how they implement it.

You could also run the matrix demo on that and the bandwidth is something like 33% faster but still 128bit, and the memory clock can likely be throttled to the right speed here. Using 6GB of memory is still only half of the 12GB the Switch 2 does indeed have, but it would allow for more modern tests that take advantage of the architecture better. You guys missed on this one, and shouldn't double down with a reupload. SMH

I really think they need to change the way they look at performance issues when it comes to drop frames I will argue it will be only an issue performance issue if it dropped to the under 25 fps if it's supposed to be 30 I don't look at something dropping 2 FPS as a performance issue from Target

LPDDR5 can only go up to 6400 MT/s (102.4GB) in dual-channel mode.

The latest leak reveals that the Switch 2 will use 2 channels 6 GB each of LPDDR5X, which at stock speeds is rated at 3200MHz. Coupled with the 128-bit bus it gives us a bandwidth of 102.4 GB/s shared between CPU and GPU. Knowing Nintendo they won't clock the RAM above stock speeds. The RTX 2050 has a memory bandwidth of 112 GB/s and it's all allocated to the GPU alone. Unfortunately, memory bandwidth will be the biggest bottleneck of the Switch 2, there's simply no way around it. Expect low texture resolution, lots of LOD pop-in, jaggies on shadows and some ancient looking texture filtering. Native rendering resolution might have to be also dropped below 1080p to 900p or maybe even lower than that while docked. DLSS is the saving grace of the new console, and should clean up the image nicely even if upscaled only to 1440p. From there a simple spatial upscaler can be used with some careful sharpening to bring out a crisp and beautiful 4K output image. Games on the Switch 2 should still look fantastic regardless of the constrains.

this is what i expected those windows handheld to do, MAKING REAL PROPRIETARY CONSOLE. the switch 2 is definitely proprietary. the spec mentioned there saying 128 bit bus width for the LPDDR5 memory being used. thats NOT your typical LPDDR5 memory normally you would find in smartphones or laptops. those common LPDDR5 are 32 bit bus width most of the time. so those switch 2 LPDDR5 will be a unique specific design proprietary for the nvidia chip. thats why it could match the old GDDR5 performance. thats what you need to do when you want to get the GPU working appropriately. by that respect, the GPU in the nvidia chip used for the switch 2 can be considered equivalent to discrete GPU. unlike the common AMD APUs that would still have to be confined to a standardized DDR5 interface. already on paper will perform BETTER on gaming than those rog aly/MSI claw, legion go etc from windows handhelds category. i dont think the switch 2 would only get a mere 4GB of VRAM. those windows handheld actually could have done the same. add proprietary memory configuration. solder a big bus width LPDDR5 onto the board(if voltage is their main concern) and make the BIOS inform that properly to the OS so the OS would treat it like a higher speed memory. the problem is, they just want to make a quick buck.

And even vendor customized eGPU like Rog XG (yes I am the dumb ass who bought the $1200 eGPU for his Ally) are still too unstable and has too many kinks to work out. No matter what GPU they put into the dock, the dock itself will be as expensive or likely more than the tablet, and the experience will likely not be as seamless as the switch 1, much less.

Please redo this with the updated specs

We also must keep in mind that what DF is doing right now while a great analysis is also running on a platform that is optimized for PC hardware setup and either has to also load the entirety of Windows or Android in the background. The switch two will not have these anchor points and also developers will be able to sit and modify the pure game code to match the hardware specs. So if games are already running this good on generic piece settings that are in the ballpark, that usually means the games themselves that are going to be made directly from the developers are going to run and perform better than this. It reminds me of the initial test that DF did for the tegra shield and even the first year of switch games out paste it tremendously including ports that no one ever thought the shield could do. Never mind the switch.

What's interesting for me would be a real life comparison to Steam Deck 1 (and maybe 2 by then) and some good alternative offering like a ROG Ally none Extreme for 400 bucks and maybe a XBox portable someday... with real life meaning a realistic look on battery life and user interface. - The rest is just numbers. Can I comfortable play games on my backlog like Witcher 3, Death Stranding or Cyberpunk with good graphics (native 720p high settings or 1080p FSR3/DLSS3 quality settings) at 40 fps straight or even 60 fps while commuting in a city like Berlin using existing game libraries from Steam, EPIC or GOG... if so, than these devices would be a deal for 399 € with 256 GB and 499 € with 1 TB storage. If those devices could also run Alan Wake 2 or GTA 6 with 1080p high settings DLSS quality at 40 or 60 fps ... that would be a huge selling point, too.

Imagine Nintendo first party studios taking full advantage of this kind of hardware. I can't help but get excited over the thought.

Isn't the rumor now 12 GB of RAM? Are you going to release a more accurate video to reflect this?

It was always going to have at least 12gb of ram.

Does this account for the rumored 12 Gb of RAM?

No. This is clipped from an older video

This clip was from a 6 month old video.

If it has DLSS 3.0, many games can run quite smooth if programmed correctly.

The best test would've been to use the 2050 with Yuzu and see how it runs Switch games vs the original Switch. 😂

Its gonna be between ps4pro and series s thats just obvious. That type of performance is easily attainable with production costs kept low

neitehr ps4 pro or series s are parameters.

these specs for a handheld ? damn gimme

Considering the lpddr5x 125GB/s, wouldn't the gpu be a bottleneck this time around? I also looked into that rumored 7LPH process and only found the 28LPH process at the same power draw had 40% performance increase, which makes kinda hopeful. I wonder if they can target the TX1 25nm 1267 MHz speeds more safely now with 1536 shaders it would be theorically 3.8 TFLOPs Which sounds nice, but the bandwidth will be a constraint and while DLSS/FSR reduces the RAM it uses they're still withstrained by the bandwidth speeds afaik

I'm mostly curious about Nintendo games obviously can't test it here but considering smash And Mario kart at 1080p 60 I'm hoping for more with Nintendo 1st party. Zelda is 900p 30 and Mario is 810p 60 so we could see thoughs go up to at least native 1080p maybe upscaling and look better my ideal would be dlss quality to 1440p on first party Nintendo with graphics up grade. HDR would be wonderful for Nintendo games

I feel like all this is just broad speculation still though. And if they did have something like that Matrix demo running they wouldn’t do it in general even if they didn’t think the final hardware wouldn’t be at least up to that level. It will probably be a heavily custom Nvidia chip so let’s see what actually goes down!

Is the core cluster confirmed to be 8 cores? I had seen rumours it was only 4 cores to keep power envelope around 5w. Also bear in mind that the lowest power profile for the GPU alone is 30w. On a switch 2 downscalled to half the clock speed you could be looking at 15w tdp. With less cores active maybe 10w. That could work with docked mode targeting a total system draw of 15w vs 5w for handheld mode. That means 735MHz clock speed in docked mode netting around 2 TFlops. That would be 1tflop in handheld mode. Targeting 5w system draw.

The first Switch power target was around 10w in handled mode, dropped to 5w with the first revision and die shrink. The Tegra X1 have a 4+4 CPU configuration with cluster migration completely managed in hardware, the system only use 4 cores at time and is unaware of the existence of the additional 4, the system was disabled because it doesn't make sense for a console

teraflops aren't performance and the t239 will be clocked much higher than that.

@@renatoramos8834 across similar generations and architectures they are. And how? We have a performance budget. How are you going to clock it higher than that without going to 25, 30w? This is how things work.

Excuse my ignorance but why make a custom chip that is severely underpowered? I can see going with a cheap older off the shelf part, but to custom to design it and then have it fabbed by TSMC or whoever doesn't make sense to me. Wouldn't it be close to the same price to have TSMC manufacture a processor that is custom designed whether using a high end or low end design? Someone enlightened me.

2D platformers, adventure games, rpgs and smaller narrative titles work well on mobile devices.

How you guys testing Fortnite with old map? Or those images are only representative 🤷🏻‍♂️

900p 60Hz all the time no performance drop is really good for Switch, good enogth for hand held

exactly bro id be happy with 720p 60fps as long as there is no DSR
