Yeah I agree it would be odd to change it and not the T239 part. Seems more likely Kopite got it wrong for whatever reason.
Yeah, NVN is an API which can be run on development hardware like PCs to develop Switch games.
I edited my post adding "very recently".
Actually the best part of the Drake name is it deepens the Famiboards lore.
What. How?
I buy late 2022-2023. 2024 feels too late if there have been devkits out already. It also just feels too late in general. It just feels like an overly cautious / pessimistic prediction. If we're getting a ton of comments nowadays about Switch hardware showing its age, imagine them in late 2023 and there's no a switch 2 yet.
below the Xbox. docked mode, around Steam Deck
Based on what we were told ~1.5 years ago I'd say it should be like ~75% of XB1 performance in handheld mode before DLSS.
Don’t know, but if you bring up how this all perfectly aligns with the previous rumors they just say they don’t believe those rumors or that 2022\2023 is too early.
the Steam Deck can exceed the PS4 when not running at 1080p. which means, with DLSS, Dane/Drake can easily exceed the PS4
But also a better CPU than Xbox One and PS4.
Yeah but IIRC Zombie and Alovon seem to think it'll be PS4 level in handheld mode without DLSS. I think that's very unlikely from what we know.
yea, it should work
we just got different expectations. using the SD as a benchmark, handheld would be below Xbox when power limited
What does the Steam Deck have to do with this nvidia chip?
Honestly at this stage we don't know. No mobile chip set has DLSS capability yet, we don't know what kind of power requirements it has at the level we're discussing for Drake.
I never said that with certainty, I said with DLSS it should easily reach PS4 level in portable mode
Steam Deck is pretty much where I think Dane/Drake will land in docked mode. so I think if you use that, you can guess where this chip will land
Not „everything“ on the graphical side, DLSS just ups the resolution and frame rate, everything else needs to happen beforehand. But yes I don’t see why it shouldn’t work in Handheld mode. Depends on the screen though, if it stays at 720p maybe not a lot upscaling is needed
Yeah that's my point, we have a range of expectations in this thread. There's no consensus at the moment.
Ah sorry, I misremembered then.
It can probably exceed the ps4 at 1080p as well. It ran the windows version of those games through proton.
The only problem with using the SD as the benchmark is that they are different GPU makers and Switch 4k’s GPU is purpose built mobile hardware while SD’s is mobile in the sense that it’s for laptops. Despite both being handhelds they are stilp apples to oranges, so sadly there are still to many unknowns. Either way I do think “handheld=somewhere around Xbox One, potentially lower, and docked=somewhere around Steam Deck, potentially higher” is a decent way to keep expectations in check.
while they are different, I think it's gonna be "lower on-paper spec" vs "OS compatibility inefficiencies" that will be the great equalizer. throw in ray tracing tho...
Techland has suspiciously "delayed" the cloud version of Dying Light 2 when there's absolutely no reason to do that. That can be a perfect launch title.
There's also the unreleased Cloud Version of Resident Evil 3 (and rumored Resident Evil 2 and Village Cloud Versions) and we all know how much Capcom loves to port RE games.
There could be numerous reasons for the delay which we have zero insight into.
That's why it's suspicious. If there are problems regarding its cloud performance it's Ubitus job not theirs. And that's unlikely as Ubitus continues to release games on Switch.
Typically no, I think they're one of those people that tend to tweet a bunch of nonsense and go back to delete the tweets that didn't come true. That said, even if the Switch successor gets the prefix "Super" I wouldn't necessarily credit him with having insider knowledge.
No, he's one of the well known fake insiders who the recent "Waddle Dee Knows" thing was meant to expose.
Fortunately, I painstakingly did a summary of that Nate the Hate episode.
That Drake is an Ampere GPU which is one minor version after Orin. So nothing that the names T234 and T239 don't already tell you, I suppose.
Please! I understand that Cloud versions are better than no versions but come on, what hapenned with KH was atrocious
Square Enix's excuse of not having enough storage capacity for not bringing native versions of Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5 Remix to the Nintendo Switch is complete bullshit, considering that 2K has no problems releasing NBA 2K22 to the Nintendo Switch and requiring a microSD card to be installed, considering NBA 2K22's file size is 47.1 GB.
