I agree with digital foundry here that this leak is just too specific. It is also curious they detected no signs of DLSS in the Mario Kart video. Considering the miracles that Nintendo has done with that ancient X1 chip this should be easy for them to really get the most out of it. Third parties are another story. With we be seeing 1080p/ 30fps ports on bigger titles? Too many unknowns.

 

[ElCasual]

Just want 1080p/60 fps in portable mode for Any game. Even 720/60

 

[kiphalfton]

Woof

Even an RTX 2060, which is 6 years old, had better performance than a RTX 3050.

 

[RodriGames40]

It's a downclocked 2050, these specs have been known since 2023.

 

[Germuso]

Yuzu 2 please

 

[Imtjnotu]

It's a downclocked 2050, these specs have been known since 2023.

Hell 2021 even. They've said for years it's a cut down t234 and is in fact a t239.

We either get 1200 or 1500 Cuda cores

 

[Mr Moose]

Where do they mention 3050 laptop equivalent?

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

Woof

with the power of "fake frames" RTX 3050 = RTX 5090.

Jasen approved

T239 has explicitly 1536 cores in documentation, that's what we're getting.

 

[Wooxsvan]

how else are they going to maintain decent battery on a 8nm ampere? duh

 

[Parazels]

I wonder, how many old games will get free patches for the new console.

I mean Doom or Dying Light.

 

[cireza]

This is going to be like the Switch : you will rarely get native res in handheld. Putting a 1080p screen is most certainly useless, but they will do it because they need the marketing argument that it is a better console.

 

[ReyBrujo]

With the original Switch was anyone hoping for a 1080p screen? Because now they keep mentioning that "1080p is too much, 720p is just fine".

 

[ChoosableOne]

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

The less you know about the hardware in this thing, the better. Only makes you depressed.

 

[existensmaximum]

I wouldn't count on.. Any at all.

 

[RoboFu]

Fake Rumor. Even DF in the video posted thinks its fake.

good try though

 

[justiceiro]

"PS4 pro levels" lololol

 

[Soapbox Killer]

This is still plenty of power for current gen games. Don't convince yourself otherwise.

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

"PS4 pro levels" lololol

Right it will be better.

 

[nordique]

Pretty good for a tablet that will be sold at more mass market price imo

 

[VAVA Mk2]

If true, woof.

 

[bundylove]

What happened to 4k 60 and gta6?

Thats right. Will never happen

 

[Skifi28]

720p->1080p with dlss should be both doable and fine on a handheld screen.

 

[Walter Matthau]

[DaleinCalgary]

Mild shock

 

[StereoVsn]

I wouldn't count on.. Any at all.

We will get $60-$70 “remakes”, Nintendo style.

 

[kiphalfton]

Jasen approved

Ah that's right.

I forgot about Nvidia's new ace in the hole.

 

[undeadhero]

Thought this was fake, no?

 

[Panajev2001a]

With the original Switch was anyone hoping for a 1080p screen? Because now they keep mentioning that "1080p is too much, 720p is just fine".

Nope, 720p handheld was more than enough. Super glad Steam Deck settled for 1280x800 too btw.

 

[Panajev2001a]

Fake Rumor. Even DF in the video posted thinks it’s fake.

They did not say that though .

 

[Esppiral]

How does that count compare to the Steam Deck?

 

[Zacfoldor]

You guys are so unbased, it's like you just woke up yesterday. I feel like I'm always in The Truman Show and people are just fucking with me.

Do you remember the Switch 1?

It was the sorriest piece of shit sand patty that Nintendo could afford at the time. It was ancient when it came out. It was beyond bad.

Look what not only Nintendo but so many devs have done with it. I mean, look at The Portal Companion Collection FFS.

So now, they are putting out a semi-decent actual piece of somewhat dated tech, but still lightyears above what the Switch 1 was at the time, and here we are having a laugh. About what? Who do you believe is going to be disappointed? Nobody. Spread that FUD all day long fellas, but remember what Nintendo did to you last time. They will be selling AAA 90+MC Single Player Nintendo games on cool consoles long after the rest of the industry has went to shit and you know it as well as the rest of us, so who fucking cares, just buy one.

 

[existensmaximum]

We will get $60-$70 “remakes”, Nintendo style.

Probably. I expect all old BC games to run identically to the original games without any improvements.

 

[Fbh]

How much is that in blast processing units?

 

[diffusionx]

Who the hell cares?

It's Nintendo. We're not getting a portable monster and people who thought we were are just idiotic, quite frankly.

 

[simpatico]

We do not want DLSS at all when the final resolution is 1080p. The beginning resolution would be too low for anything of value to be constructed from it.

 

[CrustyBritches]

This is the same leak we already had 10 pages on…

Rumor - Switch dataminer from Famiboards suggests the Switch 2's portable GPU clocks will be 561MHz. He also said 1.8GHz for the CPU is "hopium"

Source: Reddit The GPU quote: > 560 GPU [His reply:] > I'd prefer 561 but shrug [CPU message he replied to:] > This is probably hopium, but ~1.8 GHz. (100% speculation on my part.) [His reply:] > (it is indeed hopium) This would mean the GPU is around ~1.72 TFLOPS when in portable (if...

I would expect low clocks in handheld to hit the 5-7W mark. Also aligns with the approach in the Ninty-DLSS patent.

 

[Hunter 99]

Interesting...to be fair I don't play any third party titles that are on ps or pc on switch anyway.
It's strictly exclusives I play on the nintendo.always has been and always will.

 

[StereoVsn]

Probably. I expect all old BC games to run identically to the original games without any improvements.

I am hoping at least the games with unstable frames/dynamic res run better.

 

[darth.shrimp]

Don't care, show us the games!

 

[CuteFaceJay]

Translation = just keep using the Steam Deck.

 

[Moses85]

If true

 

[cireza]

720p->1080p with dlss should be both doable and fine on a handheld screen.

Maybe, but we don't really know yet how DLSS will be used on the console. Even then, it would be better to output the 720p to a 720 screen, than to push this to 1080p through any kind of artificial technique for a 1080 screen. There is nothing to gain.

 

[Doctor Hades]

With the original Switch was anyone hoping for a 1080p screen? Because now they keep mentioning that "1080p is too much, 720p is just fine".

720p... on an 8" screen... with no anti-aliasing?

Yuck!

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

Buggy Loop boiling inside rn at how wrong he was

 

[Sid91]

Is this more or less powerful than a base PS4?

Less

No thanks

Is this good or bad? I don't know, I need easy examples.
