I’m not expecting the switch 2 to be like that lol. If anything what I said is probably going to be much less than what they actually release. 3D Mario always has the utmost care put into it, we have nothing to worry about
Am I mistaken, or is the listing on the AC adapter incomplete?
Why would the dock need to change? Im not aware that the PD specification requires that docks support the power modes that chargers support.
It does seem we've hit the logical end-point for feasible graphics in video games with the 9th generation as a whole. With a good enough team that optimises the hell out of their game, we can have photo-realistic graphics that look insane in motion... but is unreasonable to expect, make and replicate for every game going forward. The crunch and brutal work hours are just not worth it. Having PS4 graphics is a seriously good thing to have, and Nintendo makes games on lower hardware that puts modern games to shame in a lot of ways. That Galaxy comparison is insanely on point.
Someone did a review of the AC adapter used for the Nintendo Switch family.
I can understand that entirely but the same development house that made TW3 also made Cyberpunk 2077 and the cost doesn't reflect when comparing the two games... For Nintendo's second tier games even 40-50 million dollars would probably be an increase in development budget as I don't think most of those games cost close to that to make.
That's not always the case.
There’s no connection between that because those are two different chips.
So 6GB 4GB? Just kidding
Yes.
I think the USB PD specifications applies to all electronic products equipped with a USB-C port (p. 3).
BRB writing an anrticle. Headline: famous insider confirms 9 gb ram for Switch 2.
Well that's reassuring. I'm still hoping for 16GB because that'll mean that the Switch 2 is very powerful and means I can reserve my Steam Deck for other games that aren't on Switch.
Thanks for the extra details. Upon testing it, my phone shows the fast charging icon, but it's only using 7.5W. Ugh!
You can, the market not. Lots of company already complain about Series S, imagine if Switch 2 is, basically, a Ps4. That thing will be almost no support from current gen games.
The current gaming market is already demanding that games are designed to be scalable if it's multiplatform by virtue of PC gaming being significantly prominent and also significantly diverse in hardware composition. As such, such games aren't built for a bespoke hardware configuration but rather the feature set enabled by that hardware.
At least you didn't use "well known leaker" label to describe NateDrake. I saw exactly that label somewhere pretty recently (within last 3 days) used for NateDrake, I was thinking he probably wouldn't like that label.. haha.
The main complaint devs have against the Series S, is that it's memory limited. It's not the cpu, or gpu. It's that they are asked to scale 2 similar versions of the game with a gap of 6 gb memory (7,5 vs 13,5 for games). And they have to do a series s version released day and date, if they want to be on Xbox.
Scalable, but not perfect. Baldur's Gate 3 lost functions on Series S. When the PRO models release, it will be even more difficult to keep the heavy games intact. The Switch 2 that people are expecting here is a machine that can be best positioned in current gen than a Ps4 that some people think will be satisfactory.
There's always a chance that Capcom requests 16gb.
Mario has been known to be using 60fps for their 3D games for a couple generations now. Matching PS4 Ratchet and Clank in fidelity will be possible. It should easily surpass it, at least in raw performance and tools. But it's gonna be interesting how Nintendo does it. They have gotten away with really good looking games partilty by not using anti aliasing and a lot of texture in their games. Man next gen is gonna be a whole nother ball game.
Pro model. Xbox won't have one.
fuck me this was a thing? the Series S is completely fucked because it only has 10 gigs. man to get 8 gigs
If GTA is not your thing that’s fine but it’s delusional to think Nintendo wouldn’t consider it a huge benefit to get GTA6 on switch 2 when GTA5 is one of the best selling games of all time.
I saw a Reddit post of someone with an RTX 4080 (which goes for $1100) running the main menu of the game at 6FPS (yes, 6, not 60 or 16, 6)
It's really weird. Nintendo is incredibly aggressive on if you modify the Switch to run arbitrary NSP files (I.E pirating), but they are much more inconsistent with just enforcing simply using CFW (although stuff like modding online games or erasing dump files would no doubt constitute as a red flag). I wouldn't be surprised if they went far more aggressive with general telemetry, so regardless if said people mod online titles/sail the seven seas, but that isn't really 100% certain from what I've seen.
That's something that's actually perplexed me a bit in speculating over T239's performance; how exactly would memory BW be a potential limit to competing against the PS4 Pro in docked but not the PS4 in handheld? At 5500mbps for handheld, Drake/Super Nintendo Switch would have exactly half the bandwidth of the base PS4 (176GB/s vs 88GB/s) & 6400mbps docked would be 47% of the PS4 Pro's bandwidth (217.6GB/s vs 102.4GB/s), & 8533mbps would place it at just under 63% of the PS4 Pro in raw bandwidth.
It's a good question about if the USB-IF actively applies "sanctions" to companies for non-compliance with the specification.
This is actually a pretty interesting question. Here is the novella length version
Nate Drake talking with MVG about NG Switch's RAM (in megabytes):
Translator Note: "Kaio-ken" means DLSS.
8.1 Gigs confirmed
What are some examples of what you could theoretically add with a software update without new hardware? Is Ray Reconstruction one?
Most games are juvenile, for starters. That doesn't mean they don't sell a bazillion copies, that's what publishers care about.easy, I won't call names if you don't
I think gta is juvenile, stealing cars and looking up to gangsters and such... that's about as kiddy as it gets
...so maybe you're right?
9GB confirmed. yes I know that wouldn't fit on 128-bits
This whole post is very interesting as a whole but I'm really curious on this part, since I can't really find anything on the matter. Did 360/PS3 ever utilize PBR? Afaik I thought it was impossible due to many memory limitations and the old GPUs themselves, Switch is a lot newer despite having similar raw grunt so I assumed that's how it was possible on it.
it depends on what they want to do. cpu-bound games have a lot of simulations going on: tracking entities, updating shit, number crunching, etc. gpu-bound games push a lot of effects per pixel per frame. I don't want to say it's something you choose, though you can do that, if you want. but you can't really make a visual effect heavy game cpu bound
yes, at the tail end. notably games like Remember Me. Don't Nod's research papers were oft cited back then. I still have the pdf of the material parameters catalog on my desktop
It does if you arrange the memory so the SOC only accesses 8GB at any one time! Who needs slow vs fast RAM, an entire gig you have to remap on the fly just to use!
CPU intensive would be anything that has to calculate tons of logic (lots of operations) that has nothing (or little) to do with graphics.
