if they will show real life over 2hrs battery life they will win against steam stuff... that thing is on wire console not much protable. 1 hr playing is not portable its stupid.

What's the reason for the oled dock needing updates ? maybe they will just activate somthing in that instead of a new console ?

DLSS needs specific hardware to run. You can't just update a dock and have it do DLSS. This has to be new hardware.

Why are people still treating this as "insiders" making shit up? This is proof that Nvidia is working on a new Switch hardware with a much more powerful SoC and DLSS support. That's a pretty big deal.

I don't think people realize how powerful this supposed device would be. 12SMs and dlss would put it literally close to a series S from a GPU perspective; possibly even above depending on how much they push the clocks in docked mode. While the leak is undeniably true info, I'm very much doubtful that this is what we will end up getting, specifically because it sounds like way too much.

Remember when folks thought 3DS, or rather the unknown next gen DS (or game boy!) successor at the time, would be using Nvidia Tegra? It made perfect sense for a cheap, new mobile hardware to be the one they go for! Just because it makes sense doesn't mean Nintendo can't go lower still.

The difference here is that this is not speculation, it's a direct leak of the product.

IIRC Nintendo wanted to use Tegra 2 for the 3DS but nVIDIA didn't have it ready in time or something.

Switch 2 won't come out until late 2023/2024.

 

[RAIDEN1]

I think the Switch 2 will be as powerful as a base PS4, or Xbox -one...that's how Nintendo rolls these days

Animal crossing 4k with Ray tracing and 120fps. Its what was missing the whole time

Switch already has better battery life than the Deck. That can have as little as an ~1hr 20 minutes. Minimum on Switch is ~2 hours 30 minutes...and that's for the OG model. the Lite, Switch (2019), and OLED models have minimum of 3 hrs. Steam Deck also maxes out at about ~8 hours while Switch 2019/OLED can hit ~9 hrs.

the Switch doesn't play at the same graphics/performance as the Deck so the lower battery life isn't surprising. For what it is, the Deck is reasonable. Switch 2 is never going to have amazing graphics (such as a full PC game) so it can squeeze more battery life out. It's not quite fair to compare them both but yeah the Switch is the better portable/handheld device since you can actually use it for longer without having to plug in to a wall.

 

[It's all in the wrist]

I want 60 FPS, 1080p minimum. The games could look exactly the same. It is going to hurt my soul playing BotW2 at 30.

Make it happen!

Probably the most likely scenario is that this is the 'GB Colour' of Switch. Big jump in graphical power, several games that run on it but not on previous models, but marketed as a revision and not a successor.
