      So true! All I want is to finnaly play TotK as I barely touched it on current Switch. 25-30 FPS all the time was a pain to play so I dropped it hoping for backwards compatibility with "Switch 2" and maybe even 60 FPS there.

      Something you have to keep in mind is how many 'current-gen' titles were cross-gen titles to account for the 2019-2022 disruption, this means they were built with on previous-gen systems like PS4/One and were then visually enhanced for being carried over to the PS5 and the Series line, in other words a lot of third-party titles won't be an issue for S2 because S2 is already significantly more capable than the platforms a large number of third-party releases were targeting in the first place

The actual Switch games will be running Switch specific code with nvidia APIs. I think you can easily see it pull things off that this set-up can't run, like the Matrix demo.

      It won't run at PS5 specs. That's obvious. But we will need to see how it does run - it could easily be PS4 Pro performance in theory.
      What we then don't know is how its upscaling performance works - could upscale games to 4K with relative ease for all we know.
      And even then, looking a PS4 (base) performance and comparing it to the PS5 games - the jump in quality isn't really that noticeable. Better FPS sure. Better resolution sure. Better SFX like ray-tracing sure. But the overall improvement isn't that significant.

    Nintendo Filmed An Advert in My Local Cafe A Few Days Ago
    live in North London, a few days ago my local cafe owner told me they would be shut from 1pm to 7pm, because Nintendo were using the location to film an advert.
    I asked one of the workers if she had any idea what the advert could be, and she said possibly a new game. I replied by telling her it was more likely to do with the new console...
    It's a cool cafe, it's small but the interior is very stylish, with classic record cover adorning the shelving and subdued lighting. Looking back at the first advert reveal of Nintendo Switch, I get the distinct impression they chose this location to get a similar feel.
    I have no doubt a Nintendo UK employee also uses the cafe, because its a little known neighbourhood cafe, not a place the majority of Londoners would know about.

    If Switch will get custom silicone with more cache available for DLSS, than it won't be an issue with limited bandwidth. And we will see way better scaling even with quality. 3050 limited by being external would be very interesting to see. That might shed some light how "integrated" switch GPU would behave. We've done limiting cache to limit AI accelerators for China so the opposite can be done too. And that would remove impact of DLSS on memory bandwith

    Information here is outdated, and even when this video was released - Memory performance of the laptop was quite a bit less than the projected T239, but they still made a point of testing games that pushed memory bandwidth. Truth is there is no comparable hardware on the market, whether it was back then or today with updated information. We'll only really have accurate information when the system is released. Personally, I think some of these tests are completely invalid with what we know now.

      The 6GB RTX 3050 would be far close to the Switch 2 than this test. The bandwidth and memory capacity not being a bottleneck while also not blowing out switch 2's specs, will definitely help, and being able to use newer tests that can take advantage of the architecture better, is key. Heck NVN2 over dx12 and windows OS, will help the switch 2 achieve higher performance than the paper specs would suggest anyways.

    I wonder if they can target the TX1 25nm 1267 MHz speeds more safely now with 1536 shaders it would be theorically 3.8 TFLOPs
    Which sounds nice, but the bandwidth will be a constraint and while DLSS/FSR reduces the RAM it uses they're still withstrained by the bandwidth speeds afaik

LPDDR5 can only go up to 6400 MT/s (102.4GB) in dual-channel mode.

      ​@@clint5406The memory bandwidth will still be only 102.4 GB/s on the Switch 2. The latest leak reveals that the Switch 2 will use 2 channels 6 GB each of LPDDR5X, which at stock speeds is rated at 3200MHz. Coupled with the 128-bit bus it gives us a bandwidth of 102.4 GB/s shared between CPU and GPU. Knowing Nintendo they won't clock the RAM above stock speeds. The RTX 2050 has a memory bandwidth of 112 GB/s and it's all allocated to the GPU alone.
      Unfortunately, memory bandwidth will be the biggest bottleneck of the Switch 2, there's simply no way around it. Expect low texture resolution, lots of LOD pop-in, jaggies on shadows and some ancient looking texture filtering. Native rendering resolution might have to be also dropped below 1080p to 900p or maybe even lower than that while docked. DLSS is the saving grace of the new console, and should clean up the image nicely even if upscaled only to 1440p. From there a simple spatial upscaler can be used with some careful sharpening to bring out a crisp and beautiful 4K output image. Games on the Switch 2 should still look fantastic regardless of the constrains.

    I would like to see a dock that has active cooling to help push the clocks. Another cool option would be to put tenser cores in the dock itself since you would need DLSS the most when running on a 4K TV this could disable the switch tenser cores while docked reducing heat and saving power to be used for the GPU and CPU maybe an extra 100$ for a switch pro dock although this could add input delay depending on how they implement it.

    We also must keep in mind that what DF is doing right now while a great analysis is also running on a platform that is optimized for PC hardware setup and either has to also load the entirety of Windows or Android in the background. The switch two will not have these anchor points and also developers will be able to sit and modify the pure game code to match the hardware specs. So if games are already running this good on generic piece settings that are in the ballpark, that usually means the games themselves that are going to be made directly from the developers are going to run and perform better than this. It reminds me of the initial test that DF did for the tegra shield and even the first year of switch games out paste it tremendously including ports that no one ever thought the shield could do. Never mind the switch.

    Can I comfortable play games on my backlog like Witcher 3, Death Stranding or Cyberpunk with good graphics (native 720p high settings or 1080p FSR3/DLSS3 quality settings) at 40 fps straight or even 60 fps while commuting in a city like Berlin using existing game libraries from Steam, EPIC or GOG... if so, than these devices would be a deal for 399 € with 256 GB and 499 € with 1 TB storage.

    this is what i expected those windows handheld to do, MAKING REAL PROPRIETARY CONSOLE. the switch 2 is definitely proprietary. the spec mentioned there saying 128 bit bus width for the LPDDR5 memory being used. thats NOT your typical LPDDR5 memory normally you would find in smartphones or laptops. those common LPDDR5 are 32 bit bus width most of the time. so those switch 2 LPDDR5 will be a unique specific design proprietary for the nvidia chip. thats why it could match the old GDDR5 performance. thats what you need to do when you want to get the GPU working appropriately.
    by that respect, the GPU in the nvidia chip used for the switch 2 can be considered equivalent to discrete GPU. unlike the common AMD APUs that would still have to be confined to a standardized DDR5 interface. already on paper will perform BETTER on gaming than those rog aly/MSI claw, legion go etc from windows handhelds category. i dont think the switch 2 would only get a mere 4GB of VRAM.
    those windows handheld actually could have done the same. add proprietary memory configuration. solder a big bus width LPDDR5 onto the board(if voltage is their main concern) and make the BIOS inform that properly to the OS so the OS would treat it like a higher speed memory. the problem is, they just want to make a quick buck.

    Is the core cluster confirmed to be 8 cores? I had seen rumours it was only 4 cores to keep power envelope around 5w.
    Also bear in mind that the lowest power profile for the GPU alone is 30w. On a switch 2 downscalled to half the clock speed you could be looking at 15w tdp. With less cores active maybe 10w. That could work with docked mode targeting a total system draw of 15w vs 5w for handheld mode. That means 735MHz clock speed in docked mode netting around 2 TFlops. That would be 1tflop in handheld mode. Targeting 5w system draw.
