What kind of performance is Nintendo\u2019s next console capable of? That\u2019s the question on everyone\u2019s minds as more and more reports come out about the successor to the Nintendo Switch (nicknamed Switch 2 until Nintendo officially reveals it). New internal emails<\/a> point to the Switch 2 having comparable specs to Xbox One and PS4. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of the email contents are redacted, but one paragraph states:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGiven the closer alignment to gen8 platforms in terms of performance and our previous offerings on PS4\/XboxOne, it is reasonable to assume that we could make something compelling for NG Switch as well. It would be helpful to secure early access to development hardware prototypes and prove that out nice and early.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rest of the emails are redacted, so we can\u2019t glean any specifics about performance specs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s important to note that just because the Switch 2 has the raw power closer to a PS4 \/ Xbox One, that doesn\u2019t mean it can\u2019t pump out even better visuals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One recent report stated that Nintendo showed an improved version of Zelda: Breath of the Wild with better frame rate and resolution and The Matrix Awakens Unreal Engine 5 tech demo. The latter is where it gets interesting. According to the report:<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe demo is said to have been running using Nvidia\u2019s DLSS upscaling technology, with advanced ray tracing enabled and visuals comparable to Sony\u2019s and Microsoft\u2019s current-gen consoles.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If Nvidia DLSS is confirmed for Nintendo Switch 2, fans will enjoy a massive bump in visual fidelity. And with a handheld\u2019s smaller screen, any drawbacks of leaning heavily on DLSS (primarily visual artifacts) won\u2019t be as noticeable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ll still have to wait for the official announcement from Nintendo to see what they are offering. But the picture is getting a little clearer today thanks to Microsoft’s ongoing acquisition of Activision.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
