        Demon's Souls and Ratchet and Clank were my two games. I got my console cheap as hell also anon, my partner preferred playing the PS4 Pro and we both had a Switch each before we were living together and I convinced her to let me use hers and my PS4 Pro to exchange for it since there was a store paying 50% extra credit on in store exchange because it'd just opened. I was lucky I'd not played Ghost of Tsushima because the PS5 version made up for the disappointment of Ratchet and Clank which I platinum'd within a week. I enjoyed FFVII Remake though and I've enjoyed fricking ports from the playstation so far honestly. Yet I'm more excited to play Switch games enhanced for Switch 2, since there are so many more than PS4 games worth playing, although that's my opinion and I only really enjoy Sucker Punch as a PlayStation studio anymore

          That’s the biggest upside for Nintendo fans that don’t emulate I’d have to think. It’s not like Nintendo releases are held back by the inability to handle high resolutions. They design games around the limitations of the console better than anyone, and I don’t see that changing with more power. Games like Link’s Awakening, botw, totk, bayo 3, etc. that can’t keep consistent frame delivery will be much better experiences on Switch 2. That’s when we’ll likely see a shift in Nintendo fans saying these games run great on the og Switch too.

        That was already discussed during the FTC trial
        1. Kotick said "gen 8", which goes from 1.3TF Xbox One to 6TF Xbox One X.
        2. Kotick also said he doesn't know the actual specs
        3. The email which included the discussed conversation was from 2019
        4. We've also known the specs since the Nvidia hack in 2020:
        >T239 chip has 1536 Ampere Cuda cores, 48 Tensor cores, 12 RT cores and 128bit memory bus
        >T239 uses a single cluster, 8 core CPU (likely pointing to Cortex-A78C)
        This hardware is better than PS4 in every single metric. PS4.5 with DLSS to 4K is "PS5-like"

        It mogs Deck too.

                It doesn't have any of the heavy AI stuff so it isn't for cars, it would be too outdated/weak for an Nvidia Shield successor if they did one, and Nvidia has no one partners for the mobile space.

          I'll copy-paste what I wrote in another thread:

          "As fast as a PS5" is complete nonsense. Even "as fast as a base PS4" is hard to believe to be honest. Maybe in docked mode, but definitely not in handheld mode.

          Steam Deck is roughly as fast as a PS4, and:
          1) Steam Deck uses a more efficient GPU architecture (RDNA2 > Ampere at low power);
          2) Steam Deck's APU runs at (up to) 15W, the entire device consumes (up to) 25W. This is A LOT for a handheld.
          As a comparison, Switch V1 ran at (up to) 9W: the entire device, screen included at maximum brightness. Switch V2 reduced maximum power consumption to 6W.

          So it's going to be a lot slower than people believe. That's on paper though, in practice games are going to look a lot better on a big 4K TV (compared to a PS4, or a Steam Deck as well) thanks to DLSS.

          shhhh let them be, their only cope right now is that they can play 3rd party games that can't run on switch, imagine the absolute state of play when switch 2 can run ff7r, monhun 6 etc

          FF7R is a last-gen game, it's going to run fine on Switch 2. MH6 we have no idea, for all we know it could be a cross-gen game.

            This graph shows how it performs at 40W. Switch 2's APUs is going to run at 5W tops in handheld mode, and maybe 10-15W in docked mode.

          Pretty much yes.
          DLSS allow you to do shit like draw 1/8 of the pixels you would need normally and get away with it.
          You can try that with FSR2 but it will look like dogshit.

          Yeah DLSS is not magic but for a handheld where devs are allowed to optimize? They wouldnt mind letting DLSS help do some of the heavy work in upscaling when you're on handheld mode where high resolution isnt the most important. It's when you plug it into a TV is when you care more about higher resolution and clarity which is perfectly fine for real world use cases for the switch 2.

                Technically correct but you're still misrepresenting it with a videocard that can't do the thing.

                TAA/TAAU is about drawing different pixel offsets on every frame, and then using the magic of deforming the previous frames to look like the current one, and assembling a complete picture out of it.
                The difference with DLSS is that it uses AI shit to do the deformation process rather than using some sort of motion vector shit, or motion vector shit with sharpen (FSR)

              Given reducing the resolution for moronic low values is basically the norm for porting shit to the switch, a switch 2 with a decently fast storage (200MB/s at least), and 8GB of memory would make doing slop ports a breeze.

      The rumor was never about the next Nintendo's console being on par with the PS5/XSX in raw power, just producing comparable visuals through DLSS. Given how some PS4 games still look better than the average current gen release, that's not even impressive. The specs from Nvidia's hack suggest something between the PS4/PS4 Pro in pure rasterization, which seems pretty reasonable for a handheld to be released in 2024.

    Rumors of a Nintendo Switch 2 announcement have grown recently after reports of developer demos at Gamescom last month. Now we know that Activision was briefed on a next-generation Nintendo Switch last year, thanks to internal emails from the FTC v. Microsoft case.

    Activision executives, including CEO Bobby Kotick, met with Nintendo executives in December 2022 to discuss a next-generation Switch. In an internal email chain, Chris Schnakenberg, head of Activision’s platform strategy and partner relations, prepared a summary of the “Switch NG” (Switch next-generation) inside a document labeled “NG Switch Draft.pdf.”

    The document is heavily redacted, but it does reveal that performance of the next-generation Switch will be close to that of the PS4 and Xbox One:

    The executive briefing summary and preparation materials are then sent on to Bobby Kotick ahead of the December 15th meeting with Nintendo CEO and president Shuntaro Furukawa. Kotick went on to testify in the FTC v. Microsoft hearing that he regretted not bringing Call of Duty to the Switch. This led to questioning from both the FTC’s lawyers and Judge Jacqueline Scott Corley about Call of Duty on the Switch. The FTC revealed that the agreement Microsoft signed with Nintendo also purports to bring a future Call of Duty game to a future Nintendo console if Microsoft’s Activision Blizzard deal is approved by regulators.

    • 8 months ago
      Anonymous

      FTC: So even without Microsoft buying Activision, it’s likely that Activision would on its own make Call of Duty available for Nintendo’s future console, right?

      Kotick: We would consider it once we had the specs, but we don’t have them at present. We missed out on the opportunity for this past generation of Switch, but we’d have to wait until the specifications. We don’t have any present plans to do so.

      FTC: It’s likely that Activision on its own would make a Call of Duty game for Nintendo’s future generation console, right?

      Kotick: I think once we get the detailed specifications. We missed out on this past generation of Switch, so I’d like to think that we’d be able to do that. We’d have to wait until the specifications, but wee don’t have any present plans to do so.

      Nintendo has clearly been preparing key publishers like Activision for the next-generation Switch for months now. VGC reported in July that a new Nintendo Switch is being planned for a 2024 release. The new console is said to include an LCD screen instead of OLED and continue to support cartridge slots for playing physical releases of games.

      Earlier this month Eurogamer reported that trusted developers got an early look at the Nintendo Switch 2 during Gamescom in August, including some tech demos of how games run on the unannounced system. There was reportedly a demo of an improved version of Zelda: Breath of the Wild that’s designed to run on the more advanced hardware inside the Nintendo Switch 2.

      VGC then corroborated the claims and added that Nintendo also showcased Epic Games’ The Matrix Awakens Unreal Engine 5 tech demo running on the hardware Nintendo is targeting for its next-generation Switch. The demo reportedly used Nvidia’s DLSS upscaling technology with ray tracing enabled, suggesting the chip inside the next Switch could be capable of delivering the latest AAA games.

    Every leak has been putting it between the ps4 and the ps4 pro in terms of potential power. Even if the chip leaks around T239 show it can be up to a ps5 (they haven't) it'll be in the ballpark of a ps4 once Nintendo gets to their 15w underclocking anyways. The interesting thing would be if the new dock ships with a coproseccor for extra power.

    Look, morons, no one ever said basedtendo 2 is snoystation 5 power levels. It was said by some guy that the game running on switch 2 was close to ps5 experience. What it meant was that he looked at 2 screens, one being 75" tv with PS5, the other being switch ~8" and it looked similar. It absolutely could look similar to him because on a small 8" screen it kinda looks ok to a normie to have 480p DLSS'd to 900p with low/medium settings and his moronic ass couldn't tell difference compared to ps5 running 1080p FSR'd to 1440p with medium/high settings mix on a 75" tv.

    Looking at the leaked specs, switch 2 will be about ~3.5TF docked, maybe 2.5TF undocked. For comparison PS4 was 1.8TF, PS4 Pro was 3.2TF and Series S is 4TF.
    So it'll be a PS4 Pro but with far superior CPUs, 50% more RAM, and custom cores to handle DLSS and RT.
    Nowhere close to PS5 levels but a good step up above base PS4 tier.

    You console war dipshits are dumb.
    Yes, it is theoretically possible. Expect portable PS4 Pro/RX580 levels of performance. The 4K rumors are because the games run with DLSS Performance, so ~50% native then upscaled. Nintendo probably waited because the Orin was released in 2021 and it takes some time before you can pick these chips up for a discount.
    Problem: it's only going to barely meet parity with modern smartphones. For example, AYN announced an Odin 2 with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip which is just as powerful for $299. This is why Apple feels confident enough to start venturing into serious gaming again with the iPhone 15 as ARM GPUs have gotten powerful enough with TSMC die shrinks to play new games at lower resolutions. It's going to be a similar situation to the current generation where hardware comes out that initially seems current (the consoles are just rebranded RX5700s from when the SKU failed to hit among gamers), but gets left in the dust with rapid technological progression. It's fine for the software experience--a lot of devs have ported to the refresh consoles and so it'll be like home to them and ports will be a million times better--but stop with the "it's going to do 4K native" crap.

    these t239 rumors all stem from the 2020 leaks. during the 2020 chip shortage one of the hardest components to source were bluetooth radio chipsets. from what I understand nvidia's tegra socs don't include any built in radio technology so it's likely nintendo asked them to redesign the chip to avoid issues with future hardware shortages.

    PS4 and Xbone were 28nm APUs. 7nm has been around for a while, Apple is on 3nm, everyone else is going to 5nm.

    PS4 APU was 28nm, 19mm x 19mm = about 361mm @ 28nm. 7nm is a quarter of the size. So a 7nm PS4 APU would be around 90mm^2.

    Tegra Xavier is a 350mm^2 die at 12nm.

    PS5 APU is a 308mm^2 die at 7nm. No way Switch with a newer Tegra comes close. Not with the power PS5 draws (around 200w gaming). Based on APU die sizes and difference between x86/ARM and Nvidia/AMD GPUs, I think Switch 2 will be 70% between PS4 and PS5, closer to PS5. With DLSS it will probably look pretty close to PS5 when docked. DLSS is gonna let them make games look better without having as much power. PS5 doesn't have any upsampling like that AFAIK.

      PS5 has FSR 2.2 and soon FSR3. According to Digital Foundry, FSR3 upscaling pretty much looks the same as DLSS upscaling. Frame Gen is where they differ where Nvidia has the lead.

        fsr is more hardware intensive though. still better than native resolution but less efficient than tensor cores

        • 8 months ago

          It all depends on how much the game uses async compute. The more it uses, the worse FSR performs. If the game uses barely if none then it's basically free. DLSS always has a cost which is powering the tensor cores and adding overhead just like FSRs TAA.

        I'm an AMD guy myself, just saying PS5 and XBox do not have any of this upsampling and frame generation shit and Switch 2 is extremely likely to have it. Sounds very Nintendo to leverage a weaker, cheaper CPU/GPU and use some gimmicks to try and be relevant. My point, I guess, is that Nintendo is going to be able to get a lot closer to PS5 performance because Switch 2 is gonna have DLSS and stuff and PS5 doesn't have any of that.

        The only possible guesses are nintendo going with 7nm silicon or 5nm silicon depending on price and availability as 3nm is currently off the table.

        Might be 8nm or 12nm, Tegras are usually fabbed at Samsung. Think Switch 2 is going to be more power limited than die size limited. Which should mean cheaper chips at least.

      With any level of decent screen and battery there is no physical way it could sport PS5 power, I would be shocked if it was PS4 non-pro power. On the other does anyone really get a Nintendo device for its power since the SNES (maybe sorta the N64 at the time but its specs were better on paper than practice), nothing they've made since then has exactly been a power house, even the GCN limited itself on some choices and was vastly behind the xbox.

      Don't get me wrong the Switch was too weak even for its release, 720@30 was rough even then. Double rough as the battery life wasn't great either for the trade off. And yet again for the number of emulation machines out shortly after able to hit PS2 and even into some WiiU games at 1080@60 for similar cost. (I know Mario Kart hits 60 and a few others do to but racing games are easy to push to higher abilities, even PS2 was pushing that to an extent on those)

      Real world performance of the Switch felt more like about PS3, it has advantages over the PS3 by far like ram amount and its portable, but in terms of what it runs and at what level it runs that was it. Not bad for its price either.

      I guess added together it means the Switch is a shit console, but a reasonable handheld at its price though not without some competition if you want something more. Switch 2 will likely follow unless they make the dock more than a tdp boost, but an actual secondary gpu dock that can trade blows with modern consoles (can't say modern hardware as those are trading blows with 8+ year old gpus). That would be likely a big jump in price to try to regain market from PS/MS that have likely just moved on.

      tldr agreed yea its not going to be very strong and its not really a surprise since its a handheld

      I will eat my mouse if this happens. DLSS is not that magical. Phone GPUs and AMD APUs are pretty impressive at hitting PS2 to PS3ish power right now, but you can only do so much on battery and limited watts. DLSS can certainly help close some gaps, but it at present is still not equal to native. And even the best of present APUs starts to struggle on PS3 tier games. I just can't see it clearing using DLSS to clear the gap of 2 console generation. Its amazingly impressive what a portable chip can do these days, but serious doubt in the company that has made anemic or flawed hardware for something like 20 years.

          You're assuming Star Ocean could only barely run at 30 fps when in reality it probably ran at like 45 fps with various dips. So they limited it to 30 fps to show off better for the direct. Then they optimized it to run at a full 60fps during the last few months.

            That'd be nice (especially since it seems to be running at a pretty low resolution compared to the PS4/5 version) but are plenty of heavy dips during the battle segments in the reveal, so I'm not sure

      Same. I hope Nintendo doesn’t try to go the high fidelity route. Think of how long most studios take to make their games now, and their excuse is always the increased amount of time modern assets require to make. Do Mario games really need more than what we see out of Odyssey and 3D World on the Switch? Maybe further LOD and increased crowd density, but otherwise, it’s kind of already at its sweet spot. Bowser’s Fury is a good example of a game that looks as good as it needs to, but drops frames, so the goal of making all 1st party games locked to 60 and maybe 30 for Zelda should be the goal of a Switch 2.

      The Xbox series S didn't even started to do that.
      Xbox one is holding everything back with its slow as frick hard drive that enforces that games have to load the next 15 minutes to the memory.
      All next gen consoles, Series S included can worry about having the next 15 seconds, but that's never happening as long the game engines have to run on the old generation as well.

                nta, but did it though? I seem to remember it being under 1080 on plenty, but on a 6in screen, while I think 1080 should be expected on a tablet side, I can deal with it, But I do remember Bloodbornes absolute terrible jank frame rates. I quit the game from it, shame as the level design looked amazing, but that shit gives me headaches. Agree with you though, ARM can definitely do 1080 though, several arm based emulators run at that level and aren't far behind the switch.

                Base PS4 was dogshit hardware that devs struggled to get 1080p60fps on from day 1. The second the pro came out devs basically gave up on it and most things run at minimum settings with 900p and hugely unstable 30fps.
                Battlefield 4 runs at 900p, Battlefield 1 runs at 600p, CoD runs at some fricked 1080x1200, Nier Automata runs at 900p, Nioh runs at 720p, Titanfall 2 runs at 720p, Uncharted 4 is 900p, Mirrors Edge 2 was 900p, Tekken is 900p, Killzone was 1080i, etc

And Pro was annoying in that they sold a system too weak to manage and the solution was to buy another one. I mean holy shit people shit on PC for needing to upgrade a GPU now and then if they want to stay on ultra settings with high fps, but these frickers told us if you want to play at rate that doesn't look like balls and give you motion sickness then pound sand and buy it again.

PS4 and PS4 Pro have fairly different capabilities. Several of its worth while titles barely run on the standard PS4.

                The PS4 was good only up until a certain point. After that it was almost expected of you to trade it in for a Pro. Many people still opted to play their base PS4 well into 2019. These are normies of course. Most normie adults choose PlayStation and I doubt that will change. I do agree that Nintendo doesn't even appear to be competing with Sony, as their system doesn't even appear to be labelled as a 'Home' console, instead being labelled as a 'Hybrid'
                We also must realise that the Switch sales also include the Switch Lite. And I am pretty sure that the Lite isn't even as powerful as a PS4

      Assuming they can do it, and them actually doing it within the ~7 watt TDP of a Nintendo handheld console are two very different things.
      Expect a cut down version of Nvidia's previous generation Tegra chip, optimized for a handheld TDP, and not quite the Aerith Steam Deck at max power.

      There is also Valve's "Sephiroth" on the horizon.

    dont know about you, but ps4/xb1 level of performance for a portable console seems like a pretty big deal
    plus they will be addressing joycon drift as well, meaning the lite versions of switch 2 will be an even better deal for so many people who dont care about docked mode but were put off from buying switch lite due to joycon drift issues
    this means a console that provides amazing performance and comes at a relatively low cost, plus has tons of fun exclusive games and other third party support
    looks like nintendo is going to dominate the next generation of consoles as well 🙂

          That would make it on par with last year's phone chips. So realistic, look to speculation from

          https://youtube.com/watch?v=nmZ6fhkFmDY
          You console war dipshits are dumb.
          Yes, it is theoretically possible. Expect portable PS4 Pro/RX580 levels of performance. The 4K rumors are because the games run with DLSS Performance, so ~50% native then upscaled. Nintendo probably waited because the Orin was released in 2021 and it takes some time before you can pick these chips up for a discount.
          Problem: it's only going to barely meet parity with modern smartphones. For example, AYN announced an Odin 2 with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip which is just as powerful for $299. This is why Apple feels confident enough to start venturing into serious gaming again with the iPhone 15 as ARM GPUs have gotten powerful enough with TSMC die shrinks to play new games at lower resolutions. It's going to be a similar situation to the current generation where hardware comes out that initially seems current (the consoles are just rebranded RX5700s from when the SKU failed to hit among gamers), but gets left in the dust with rapid technological progression. It's fine for the software experience--a lot of devs have ported to the refresh consoles and so it'll be like home to them and ports will be a million times better--but stop with the "it's going to do 4K native" crap.

          from what to expect, but nothing from the future either. Most normalgays can't distinguish DLSS Performance from native so of course that is where the "4K PS5 level" rumors are coming from, journos are looking at an upscale to 4K from 1080p and assuming it's native. Considering phones have stopped pushing high resolution screens because the density was indistinguishable from 1080p and 720p the new console would be in a good spot. Most games that push 4K end up putting in unnecessary visual noise to justify the amount of pixels used.

      DLSS still takes power to do, a lot less than a GPU, but it doesn't come from nothing. How much better is 3.5 though. 1 was a huge graphical downgrade, 2 was noticeably worse than native sometimes to the point of distraction, 3 last I saw just added some additional features. To me its always seemed in the same line as upscaling, if done well it can be better than sticking a low res image on a high res display. DLSS and FSR are better than playing something janky below 60 and getting headaches, but it feels like native 1080@60 should be a standard these days even in the tablet market. I've not looked at DLSS for awhile or FSR so I'm curious if they are looking better than the DLSS 2.0 days (I know people jizzed over 2.0 being workable but honestly they both still looked worse then to the point I would rather turn down settings)

      I just can't see Nintendo jumping from mid battery on bad hardware for its time, to making a modern console experience portable. Most stuff I play these days wouldn't be out of place on a PS1 so I don't have a dog in this fight just an interest in it as tech.

    There's raw performance and then final resolve
    2 TFLOPS on Switch is probably accurate.
    But that is probably just pure rasterization power, not taking into account how something like DLSS affects the final outcome.
    So Switch 2 + DLSS is equal, in visual resolve, to PS5 native

        >nintendo will never ever again target current standard graphics
        There's a difference between targeting internally vs targeting for the player.
        The beautiful thing about DLSS for Nintendo is that so long as they have enough overhead on their frametimes and provide the motion vector info, the devs themselves can just target 1080p and then let DLSS3.5 handle presenting a 4k resolve to the player.
        The devs can just focus on making games at the same basic targets as the Switch but with some more oomph for framerate, and then DLSS is what handles actually letting the image stand toe-to-toe with the Series X and PS5. The big benefit is, based on what I've read, that DLSS targeting a given resolution ends up usually being more power-efficient than doing the same natively with AA (presuming both are frame limited to the same framerate)

                I can prove all my claims
                There are DLSS-capable ARM chips on the market right now, we know approximately how much power is needed to handle DLSS from 1080p to 4K, and we know that power usage overall drops when rendering the same final image using DLSS vs native

        Isn't there something about age gaps, even in the law, that means someone can be too old to have sex iwth someone that young?

            That doesn't mean it's legally binding. It doesn't matter what they say, she's a minor, and you're going to jail.

    the fact that you need a timestamp to cope proves your inferiority

    Her Mother as well as she herself consented. It was allowed. Also the law here is 16. Also I am 33 and still get prime pussy wheneve I want using the internet. Ugly morons from /v cannot compete.

    I do. I hate Nintendo and I hate tendies. Cope. I even have 4 kids. Imagine that.

    For those not in the know, this is Eric's alternate personality, Jesse James. Yes, anal sex and driving crotch rockets are hand picked traits that Eric thinks is tough and intimidating.

      I just adopted the name Eric because it's funny. I don't actually know who that is. I've seen the caps of his shit, though. I am actually Jesse James. I won't post a timestamp because last time I did you guys found my probation officer and tried to have me locked up.

    Doesn't need it.
    DLSS will help a lot when it comes to performance atleast. Which is king.
    That and games of course.
    Even now with the Switch being nearly on its deathbed - it still outsells the PS5 - and its getting more games than the PS5 as well - Nintendo alone releases more first party titles this year and early next year than the PS5 has total after over 3 years of existence.

    Xbox was always doomed to be third with Phil focusing early on PC.
    And now Sony joined the fun by also porting their games to PC. Not to mention that many titles still run on an oldass PS4.

    Nobody with a sane mind would buy a home console at this point. PC + Switch is king and thats not gonna change for the next 10 years i guess.

      People will always buy consoles when they can play games at almost the same specs as a highend PC for a fraction of the price. A used PS5 is $350 and a comparative graphics card is $600 alone.

        You can build a PC faster than a PS5 for like $700. PS5's GPU is a 6600XT with 12GB of VRAM, it's not THAT fast.

        >550 bucks for a PS5
        >70+ for the PS Plus subscription so they can play online per year
        Thats 900 bucks after just 5 years. You act like nobody has a PC at home that people can just use for gaming. Not like entirely new PC builds are super expensive either. Playstation is no longer an affordable option and thats one reason why the PS5 struggles so much.

        The Switch has such an easy game with its sub 300 USD pricepoint its insane.
