Considering Switch 2 is not out yet and we already have RT required titles, improved ray tracing performance is nothing to scoff at for Switch 2’s longevity.
Frame generation possibly no the best idea, more about DLSS 3.x / DLSS 4 and in general performance when upscaling or when using tensor cores for other general AI tasks (I do hope that nVIDIA gives dev access to the tensor cores without devs having to reverse engineer support like on the OG Xbox and PS3 before they relented).
True, remains to be seen if it is XSX|S or PS5 like, but it is a departure over what nVIDIa was trying to do on the GPU.
Interesting, unless the semi-custom here is a reduction in capabilities for the Tensor Cores (compared to the need they had for automotive).
Assuming T239, like the DF overview a while ago, was made specifically for Nintendo yes, I will give them the benefit of the doubt (people said the same with the OG Switch and it did not turn out like this, but nobody has seen any T239 in the wild before Switch 2 is out so we can count itAnd then there’s (?) a whatever was not leaked or if it’s even a T239 for production release
).
I just think they wanted that $299 price point.
Really fun to me. Not related to the movie; it’s its own thing set in the HP universe.

That footage is not from the final build and regardless it's WAY more impressive considering Switch 2 is a handheld. Is Series S also portable?
That’s not the point, is it? The original question and topic was: which version of Hogwarts Legacy looks better between the Series S and Switch 2. The former looks better overall, objectively. The Switch 2 being portable and outputting the results it has thus far is impressive, but has no bearing on the original talking point.
While Series S has a texture bug in this game, it was already proven that Switch 2 looks even better than with the bug fix (there's a trick to fix it in the game), but the Switch 2 also seems to lack Subsurface scattering for characters skins, which makes it be a little less demanding.Awesome, I also saw an article saying SFVI was better on Switch 2 than XSS. Let me look.
Street Fighter 6 On Nintendo Switch 2 Appears To Surpass Xbox Series S Visuals, Comparison Reveals
The Nintendo Switch 2 version of Capcom's Street Fighter 6 appears to surpass those of the Xbox Series S version in terms of visuals.
Pretty awesome. We were expecting PS4 and we got XSS or better in some cases. That's the reality. People love to hate, but that is the truth.
That's exactly the point. A system that has portability is running at (or possibly better than) a console only system. That says ALOT about the portable systems power/value.
Some streamer in the event asked the resolution of the game and they said "4K" in docked. I just can't find who was the streamer.
If you say so friend. Interesting times, nonetheless.
Considering the discussion a few weeks ago was "is it as powerful as the PS4" and now we have comparisons against the XSS, I think the Switch 2 is decidedly fine at this power level. It is actually more powerful than almost anyone expected(in the gaming zeitgeist at least).
That question was always silly to me, as just from the sheer advancement in architecture alone on the Switch 2, it was going to be significantly more performant than a PS4. Add in DLSS, more ram, and a much faster CPU than the PS4, and the Switch 2 was always going to run circles around 8th gen consoles.
True progress in terms of what exactly? Graphics? How much better can we go until games take 10+ fucking years to develop? It's ALL about gameplay and as long as we see gameplay innovations then I'm fine with graphics taking a backseat. No matter how much you polish a turd, underneath it's still a stinky fucking piece of shit.
At this point, I’d take well optimized games. That’s a rarity these days without months, if not years of patches.
That's why these consoles are good for the market.

A generational leap for Switch 2 against Steam deck version.
Docked or portable? Steamdeck doesn't have a dock.
A generational leap for Switch 2 against Steam deck version.
Yes it does.
It doesn't come with the device and it doesn't increase its performance. It just runs the games on a TV.
Almost as if Switch was a hybrid because it's designed with the whole hybrid experience out of the box
About the "much faster CPU", can you share your estimation percentage wise? While at it, there is also the memory bandwidth disparity to consider, any thoughts there?
What are you talking about? This gen has just started...
