If I remember correctly only Samsung TVs were supporting it. Was the reason I chose the QN90A over getting an LG OLED.

Is totally possible technically speaking. But you will need a G-Sync certified TV.

You are living in a bubble. Tell yourself your views are not niche all you want. Most will buy the New Switch plug it into their TV and simply have fun. Look at the Pokemon games on the Switch with their choppy framerates etc. Outside of the core who actually cared. You are deluded like many on here. And spend far too much time playing videogames and discussing them on niche internet sites. The problem with this is it's gives the impression it's far more people than it actually is in reality.
I am well aware as I spend a lot or time playing videogames and on here. But if I mention any of this stuff to regular people it won't be long until their eyes start to glaze over.

I don't like this one bit. I mainly use the Switch docked and now it's going to be absolute ass while docked :/

The fact that you're actually defending this is embarrassing. It's embarrassing that you defend a decision that is against helping the consumer by implementing something that could help there gaming experience. We're not in 2000 anymore and 4k tv's with VRR are the standard and will continue to be the standard moving forward in the tv market and in consumer households.

PS5 VRR affects all of there games my man. It can be toggled for games that don't even have it implemented into the game itself.

Not really needed. Developers should make sure their games actually hit the 60fps target if they're going to include the mode.

Never defended it. Just pointed out people outside core hobby gamers do not care about any of this. That seems to trigger you and others more than the fact the Switch 2 has no VRR in docked mode lol.The fact that you're actually defending this is embarrassing.

Sorry to break that to you. If you feel this is being discussed by the wider mass market. Then I am not quite sure what to tell you.Fuck man, i can't

It falls back to Freesync anyway and will still be better than nothing, Gsync and Freesync are more ubiquitous than VRR in my own experience

If in fact V-Sync is supported when docked… Makes sense to avoid any mention of this to avoid even more confusion due the limited support of TVs… But will see.

This is the Nintendo fanboy's last line of defense literally every time there's a discussion about something Nintendo lacks. Come on man, don't be that guy. Just stay out of technical discussions if you're going to say stuff like that.

Well I want it for handheld gaming reason. And I want Switch 2 because of there exclusives like the next Zelda, Mario and Metroid and most Japanese AA game exclusives will come out of Switch 2 which is probably the biggest mistake of Sony abandoning AA Japanese games exclusives. And for a handheld it is pretty good visuals. My TV will be mostly for Ps5 gaming.

still not as bad as removing digital-out from late gen gamecubes

Even less reason for it not to be available while docked. In fact, it makes no sense.

This makes zero sense. My LG C9 and Samsung s90D OLEDs have zero VRR issues. What are you talking about?

That's why i think is going to be there in some form, probably in the future via a firmware upgrade or G-Sync only.

the only way that quote makes any logical sense is that VRR doesnt work below 48fps, but that has nothing to do with OLED, it's just the way VRR is spec'd and Sony put it in PS5 to spec.

my lg cx (2020) does 4k120 hdr vrr.
When the hell has Nintendo EVER been pro-consumer? The fuck are you smoking? This is the same company that refused to move over the CDs/DVDs even when the rest of the industry did and their N64 cartridge games would cost like double what PS1s CD games were.Honestly my beef with nintendo is the fact they used to be more pro consumer then they used to be. Now they just put two middle fingers in the air and try nickle and diming consumers over every little thing to the point that it's insane. The biggest one to me that happened a couple of years ago is when they lauched the 3D mario all-stars collection on switch only for a limited time and then stopped selling it both physically and on the nintendo e-shop loll.
They've always been huffing their own supply.

IIRC, the "Mobile G-Sync" even on PC is really just VRR.
The short loading times from using the carts was nice.

For a mid 2025 system, it's something that should've been available on day one, but then again, Sony took ages to add something as minor (but important to many) as a native 1440p support, so i guess it is what it is with these companies.

I wonder if that is what he is referring to. Forgot about that part of the PS5 VRR implementation. The one thing Xbox did better this gen than Sony was VRR implementation.

Like I said if you feel this is being discussed in wider circles then I feel sorry for you. Like I have stated I am not defending anything. I am simply stating outside of niche internet forums nobody cares. This for some reason seems to trigger some on here.
And I have to stay out of technical discussions because I say things you do not like. Sounds very reasonable lol.

The point of contention is whether it allows you to do 4K 120hz VRR with devices that only have HDMI 2.0 such as older GPUs. It doesn't.

Didn't help FFXVI.
Actually, people have told me the great PS5 didn't have VRR on FFXVI, and still people bought it up in droves, even without VRR support.
Would not surprise me the least if GTA6 also did not get VRR support either, due to being 30fps.

I do wonder if some on here actually enjoy their hobby. They seem to spend more time complaining about games than playing them.

The biggest problem with this is we won't be getting unlocked framerate modes. That mode in Cyberpunk will be capped to 40, but how high can it really go. How much performance are they leaving on the table. We will never know.

You're 50/50 on this one.
PS4 supported HDR, but HDMI 1.4 does not support it.
The PS4 APU's HDMI port is actually disabled. It outputs through Displayport, which did support HDR at the time, and then an external Panasonic chip on the motherboard converts that to HDMI-plus-HDR.
It's the reason PS4 was able to offer HDR, but base Xbox One could not.
It's also why they were never able to add Freesync to PS4. The PS4 APU supported it, but the custom Panasonic chip did not.
Here's a video of a hacking group discussing this:

You are simply confirming my points by bringing up niche internet gaming sites. Do you really think the mass majority of people that are going to buy a Switch 2 will be on sites like Eurogamer. You are taking your delusion to a whole new level. But please feel free to carry on lol.It's out in the mass media.

What the hell are you talking about. Those aren't niche game sites.
No this is the reality, not a "line of defense". He's perfectly right, and unfortunately so, I would add.
I'm the last tech-expert person here so no idea if it's some thing where Nintendo cheapened out, or what is the reason for this, but it's completely right to call them out for it on forums such as this one.
It doesn't change anything about what he said which is completely true, most people don't even know what VRR even is and don't even care.

His argument is that nintendo shouldn't do anything pro-comsumer or anything that benefits gamers because some people might not care. He has no ground to stand on and yet he continues to post triggered reactions and laughing reactions at everyone in this thread for calling nintendo out. It's clown crap truthfully.
