Expecting RT might be a bit much. I'd be happy if they can get it at a stable 40fps with decent image quality.

With 2 RTX cores don't expect much for RT. But the port look amazing.

What is example of an updated 2025 hardware for a handheld gaming device?

Prepare to be surprised. Like most things in a console it's not just general PC RTX support nor does it require the same amount of compute to acheive good results. It's custom made in a partnership between Nvidia and NERD (as is DLSS and Ray Reconstruction). They're working on Frame Gen at the moment but who knows if it will actually be added to the SDK. They do make a lot of 60fps games though and they didn't add the 120fps screen just for the fun of it

Lenovo Legion Go S, or just anything that uses the Z2 chip. For true power gain we need to wait for Z2 Extreme, which will have multiple handhelds launching in 2025, unfortunately probably at a $600-800 range. However these are all guaranteed to run 3rd party games better than NS2.

Switch launched in 2017, Steam Deck in 2022. Also Switch is the only place you can play Nintendo games officially. Also sales of hardware is one, software is another:

The first 3rd party game (not including Pokemon) is 24th. In Top50 6 games do not have connection to Nintendo.

Not at all. VRR is magic when implemented properly.

Doesn't this primarily (only?) eliminate screen tearing? You would still feel the fluctuating frame rate, correct? Or is the idea to eliminate that as well?

Sales have zero impact on the devices power.
How do we know the power differences between those and Switch 2, especially considering DLSS and RT?

On a 120hz display like on Switch 2, a 40fps frame rate can look much smoother than it actually is.
Basically this is because 120/40 is an even number. If they can combine that with VRR to achieve a 40fps average then it should look impressive.

I notice 2 things in these threads here:
- people blaming Digital Foundry for concluding or analyzing stuff that shouldn't be possible untill the game is in your hands.
- people analyzing stuff and concluding stuff that isn't possible untill the game is in your hands.
Go figure.

Three year older portable perfomance is slightly worst them this new still not launched premium priced piece of hardware. News At Eleven of this great achievement.

That's cool if you're a hardcore handheld gamer. However, tye Switch 2 version of majority of multiplatform games will run better on the other gaming consoles(PS5, PS5 Pro, XSX, XSS and PC. And Xbox and PS will have their own handheld releasing in a year or two. Switch 2 will be used only for the occasional exclusive for me.

New Cyberpunk 2077 footage shared online highlights how the demanding game will look and run better on Nintendo Switch 2 than Steam Deck.wccftech.com
As we all know, the NWS2 is a cheap piece of shit barely more powerful than a gameboy black and white.
Should Valve discount the Steam Deck now to keep up with the NSW2?

People say the same thing about the Deck running 45fps on 90hz or 40fps at 80hz. In general lower fps looks good running locked at handheld sizes on a even or straight multiple of the screen.
VRR gives the flexibility to smooth out 20-60 fps gaming (or whatever the range is, can be 90-200fps), but in the case where the game was a locked 40 or locked 45 or locked 60, it would not have any advantage.
Furthermore FSR/DLSS kinda mitigates VRR imo, because that tech just increases framerate to hit / stay at the target by adjusting resolution/quality in realtime.

I'll retract the word 'locked'. What I was trying to say is that VRR can smooth out the frame dips to try and keep it at a consistent 40, which is where the 120hz sync should come into play.
You can see it in that preview video, it looks smooth as butter at times. Still needs work though.

Just get a TV or monitor that's 120fps with Gsync. I'm shopping 1440p myself.

I have a 120hz tv, but don't have Gsync only Freesync

Who cares? These two machines appeal to completely different consumer bases.

It's good to see the Switch 2 is better hardware than most of us expected. Ultimately, though, the Switch 2 will live or die based on its first party software. As amazing as Cyberpunk 2077 is, it's an old game and most people who care have already played it. I know why they are porting it, Witcher 3 did extremely well on Switch, but it's not going to hit the same as that one.

I guess that's cool for handheld standards and yes, a mid 2025 handheld should look better than an early 2022 handheld. I'll still do my next replay on PC. The visual fidelity is part of my immersion for this game. I'm not sacrificing that for how rough it looks on handhelds.

Witcher 3 came much later in the Switch's life cycle. Being there at launch could be YUGE for CDPR.

I mean, Switch 2 SF6 beats the SHIT out of XSS which has a much stronger cpu. Other games look incredible and compare very favorably to XSS titles on Switch 2 in docked mode.
To be honest, the Switch 2's power is really underappreciated on here. It's a very good machine. Nintendo is going to cook on this thing. Think of how good all the games on PS4 looked and now imagine a big leap over that in many/most games and you will have Switch 2. It's a proper powerful console and the price reflects that.
I know you don't want this to be true but it absolutely is.
Anybody shitting on it is probably trying to trick you and talking bout handheld mode. Most of them don't know shit, honestly, never held the console and they have an agenda as proved by the fact of them shitting on it while contradicting facts like this are ignored. Shitting on the price is one thing but graphics? That's just ignorance. This thing is crazy for a handheld, CRAZY and all its tricks won't be seen until later in the gen. Nintendo will fucking cook here my guys. Watch DF or a real analyst and you will understand the above is true or even just accept that this thread title is accurate. The quality will be remembered long after the price is forgotten. Buy once cry once. Two is one and one is none. Get em while you can, salad says are here for gaming.

Cyberpunk is a launch title, it's going to do some big numbers.

It's going to sell like crazy, it doesn't take a lot to realize that this might be the best third party game at launch they got. They'll buy it in droves, just like Skyrim.

That Wikipedia list is not at all accurate. There is no official list of best selling games on Switch.Switch launched in 2017, Steam Deck in 2022. Also Switch is the only place you can play Nintendo games officially. Also sales of hardware is one, software is another:
List of best-selling Nintendo Switch video games - Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org
The first 3rd party game (not including Pokemon) is 24th. In Top50 6 games do not have connection to Nintendo.
This bit at the top explains why "As Nintendo shares the sales of their video games every quarter while most other publishers do not share sales figures per console, this list consists mostly of Nintendo-published titles."
Edit: that's not to say that there are lots of third games that have sold 20 million +. But there are hundreds of millions of third party game sales on Switch.

Did GPD Win need a discount because of the Switch?? When did PC hardware need a discount because a console hardware??

There's no telltale sign of DLSS being used so far in this game
Why would it run at lower resolution than a steam deck. We already see it looks much better. Deck is dithered pixel soup.

Yes but its still nice to see this. Alot of people around the internet were sure it won't be stronger than a SD and as it its now it's already producing better results

Can't wait for the hype to deflate after it releases on switch 2 and people start to notice how much most likely got scaled back to make it "look good" eg. crowd density

The steam deck is running the standard pc version while the switch version is custom made to take advantage of switch 2 specific hardware. Even though the power of the handhelds are relatively similar, the switch 2 will often come out ahead due to the fact that the software is tailored to fit on the platform.
Why this is surprising to anyone is beyond me. It's pretty much expected.

Why would you compare the previous legacy version when this is not that?
Unfortunately for the Deck, that is all too common an occurrence these days. There's dozens of games that used to run great on the Deck, and have gotten graphic updates and now are way more borderline, like TW3 and Deep Rock Galactic.
The Deck, while still great, is definitely aged out of new AAA, and more these days.

People were laughing here when Cyberpunk rumors running on Switch 2 started… So, the expectations here was the Switch 2 wasn't going to be capable of run the game.
