How does the Switch 2 version docked stack up vs the Z1 Extreme handhelds running at full power?

Not only that, they want to cover too much: Too many platforms, too wide BC, too many genres, too many use cases for everything, you'll see many devs complaining about UE bloat, Unity handles this way better imo.
Ubisoft and Id Software have their priorities way better set, same for any other first party dev like Nintendo or Sony.

It is not in a 200 watts console, but it is in a handheld that consumes 9 watts in a AAA game.

We haven't seen hardly any comparisons to the higher end handheld PCs at all really

Very Poor Hoice of Wor
Microsoft hears you, and has raised the price of their hardware.

their UE4 RT solution also had tons of issues tho. it looked far better, but was insanely taxing.
I think they overcorrected. they saw how bad the perfomance of their UE4 solution was, went full tilt into "we need to make it run on everything" mode, and sacrificed quality while still having relatively bad perfomance.

Seems like a cover up to protect AMD.

Outlaws is one of the best looking games of this gen. Definitely the best open world.
Good to see the engine put to good use even on smaller hardware.

Pretty much. It was really easy to believe the GVG guy saying this game ran "poorly" on Switch 2 because very few people actually thought Switch 2 would get games like this at all. Including myself. So
OverHeat
.....you ain't alone, buddy. To get it actually running well even at 30fps is impressive. That doesn't make 30fps "extraordinary" but I think it is safe to say, at this point, that the ceiling for Switch 2 is higher than many of us thought it was. I don't think most of us will mind being "wrong" when it is to our benefit.

But the consoles are doing RTGI with the Ubisoft and Id games. Lumen RTGI just sucks.

I don't know about the reasons, but there is definitely a reluctance there.

So are we back to Switch 2 Docked > Switch 2 > Steam Deck in performance yet? Or can the Deck get to this level with some patches maybe? This game can't even run in a playable state on the Deck iirc.
Still love the power/performance profile of the Switch 2, particularly docked @ under 20W.

Too bad the game itself stinks.

Another one i want to see is the Switch 2 vs of Cronos vs those handhelds at maximum and minimum wattage.

the issue the Deck has here is that is has an AMD GPU. it's essentially impossible to have decent RT perfomance on the deck unless it's a highly optimised game like Indiana Jones.

Pretty fucking impressive port:
- stable fps without framepacing issues
- RTGI
- DLSS
- not terrible resolution (720->1440 DLSS)
- game looks similar to SS version
SW2 version is better than Series S in some aspects (frame pacing). Snowdrop engine is probably in Top 3 engines right now.

key card because of Cerny SSD

It's a key card game. They said that they couldn't put it on the card because the card's data speed (I think that's right) is too slow, so it needs to be installed to the Switch's internal storage.

Massive is one of the most tech skilled studio right now.

But I thought we had another thread saying this game was/looked awful running on Switch 2... Surely they weren't wrong??? And here I was thinking Switch 2 couldn't run current gen games well enough.

I'm surprised they didn't nitpick things that aren't a problem
Another life destroyed by a deleted post.
yeah just don't have the opinion that it's funny that that long thread was all about a game that isn't exactly an award winner in the first place.
at least I was told that kind of talk isn't allowed here lol.

You mean native? It seems extremely unlikely.
It can't. Don't worry. I mean not without important cutbacks. But surely this is an impressive port.

because this site is full of haters and nerds who think they know everything
Well Ubisoft seems has invested a lot in this port maybe they hope to recover the revenues expected on home console. Game is not bad at all imo
