You know why I think the Switch will be very powerful? Remember Jen-Hsung(Nvidia CEO) talk about his disappointments on Sony and Microsoft for not picking their GPU's instead of cheap ass AMD's ones? I think this is his response to it, and I am loving it.
Price this thing at 199$ Like the rumors are claiming and I think we found the winner of this generation already.
>MFW Zelda BotW will be 1080p 60fps on the Switch.
Finally, feels like Nintendo has invested on a powerful hardware, is been ages, the Game Cube being the last true powerhouse Nintendo ever release. Now we are playing with Power.
Anthony James
"raw" tech power doesn't mean much. the ps3 was technically more powerful than the xbox 360 but 99.99% of games looked worse on the ps3.
Henry Gomez
>Fooled by a tech demo screenshot
Typical neo neo Sup Forums. Just so you understand there were tech demos of ps3 games that looked better than games do now.
No, you can pretty safely bet that the new Nintendo does not have the strongest leap in processor efficiency ever recorded by man.
Zachary Cox

we're three years in

>1500 teraflops so like, more than 100x more powerful than a Titan X Pascal? How did Nvidia do it?
Liam Lopez
>1280x587 >*actual resolution This kind of graphical fidelity isn't difficult at such low resolutions, user. I hope that explains things for you :^)
Jack Scott
Of course, but take this into consideration, this is a lunch game most likely.
Now compare it to trash like Knack on the PS4 at lunch, my point is that, if this is the amount of visuals the Switch can show off on the get go, imaging when developers start to understand what is inside of it in depth.
This is just the begining.
Jack Sullivan
I need it to be more powerful than Wii U just so that we can get Xenoblade X in 1080p. That's literally all I need from this console in terms of power.
Dominic Flores
No, all you need is a swift asskicking.
Hunter Mitchell
Is already coming user, here, latest leak that came out today, people are saying is Xenoblade X Switch edition.
Easton Bennett
>Xbone What about PS4?
Isaiah Parker
It's not BC, user.
Xavier Myers
Ehh, I could see it breaking 1 TFLOP, but I doubt it'll be anywhere near the 1.84 of the PS4.
Ian Powell
The Fallon footage confirms BotW is 30 fps.
Jackson Martin
Really, it just need 1 TFlop to get 3rd party.
Cooper Diaz
And the scorpio and PS4 pro and PC will be moving onto VR, where it takes 2-6 times the processing power
Chinks sure are cutting edge innovators
Brandon Nelson
what is that supposed to be
Dylan Turner

Julian Martin
explain, please. I want my anti-aliased XCX in 1080p
Ryder Martin
>to get 3rd party It can have all the tflops in the world and it's still going to be abandoned by 3rd parties when their games don't sell
John Hall
And the Scorpio and PS4 Pro are suppose to be luxury versions of the One and PS4, not it's own account.
Henry Howard
Actually is the other way around.
Some people started to analyze the moment link throughs the rock down and the explosion occurs frame by frame, people are saying is not steady 60fps, but more like 50fps.
Regardless, nice try on miss informing people.
Gavin Miller
Considering the Tegra X1 could hit over 1 TFLOP, I wouldn't be surprised if this new chip can do 1.4.
Nicholas Morgan
yeah it must be amazing it's not like nvidia would lie to sell their products it's not like everyone said wii u would be amazing
Angel Richardson
>anti-aliased You're kinda asking for the moon here This is a Nintendo device
Christian Scott
Holy fuck, can you autistic faggots wait until direct video of the Switch Zelda is shown before you do autistic technical breakdowns?
Ryan White
The only one misinforming people is you. Fallon footage is 60fps but the game runs at 30 fps. You can tell it isn't 60 fps just by looking at it
Caleb Diaz
Stop saying this. The X1 hits 1 Flops using a mode that no one uses, FP16. People use FP32
Ryder Morgan
Look in the middle user's, what it looks like.

Elijah Hughes
Why do people care so much about hardware? Better hardware doesn't always mean better games and this is coming from an idort.
Cameron Rodriguez
Ps4 isnt relevant anymore, user.
Blake Sanders
>believing bullshots epic
Adam Fisher
because 3 consoles means fanboys which means competition, and hardware is the only meaningful thing to argue about. Which is pretty ironic since if you wanted good hardware you'd buy a PC
Blake Long
It's 900 GIGAflops you fucking animal.
Charles Gomez
Stop mentioning the Maxwell Tegra Chip, specs for the newer Pascal Tegra havn't been disclosed yet. Of which this is a custom one.
Luke Walker
>Better hardware doesn't always mean better games and this is coming from an idort. It doesn't but it helps. Just look at Xenoblade. Beautiful game, held back by 720p and jaggies. "But Xenoblade wasn't a good game", sure but every Wii U game also would have looked better on better hardware at no expense to the gameplay
Better hardware won't make a bad game good but it will make a good game look better. Why shouldn't everyone want that? Why does Nintendo have to constantly deprive that from its fans?
Jason Johnson
>What is FPS Frame by Frame analysis
You have to love how words fly over their heads.

Where is that picture from tho?
Easton Bailey
Can you Not see the obvious Blue "U", With the Grey "Wii" next to it, on a black background?
Nathan Reyes
That still doesn't explain anything.
Jeremiah Clark
Hard to jduge it until we actually see it running or know what is. Might as well be grass and trees with barely anything going on, at which points it's barely more than a tech demo
Josiah Miller
Pascal tegra is 750 gflops >it's c-c-custom Won't change very much, it's still based on the same architecture, they just have to add security processors to it to prevent piracy
Grayson Howard
If Nintendo sells the switch for 199 and releases a full fledged Pokemon game for it, it will sell 50 million systems.
Nicholas Taylor

Liam Ross
Frame by frame analysis has revealed it to be 30 fps. The frames in between the main frames are very obviously interpolated frames. Video games do not render with super imposition
Eli Lopez
Why do drones always pretend Nintendo's next hardware is going to be so powerful when we all know it won't be? Nintendo's suit isn't power and it hasn't been since the GC
I really just don't understand this angle. Is it because we don't know shit for games besides ports of 2-5 year old games and Wii U remasters? "It's all about the games" is usually the argument for Nintendo consoles but it doesn't even have that going for it at the moment
Jaxon Rogers
>comparing Nvidia flops with AMD flops
next you will say that the RX480's 5.8 Tflops > GTX 1060 4.4 Tflops
Andrew Collins
I guess you ignored all the other pics OP been posting
>Only grass and trees Yeah, something most developers can do perfectly nowdays right user? it does not matter how well detailed it looks, is just grass, is not like it would improve the graphical fidelity of a game.
Some people comments man, god.
Hudson Martin
>Nvidia Rage fuels the Switch What a stupid faggot headline.
>There no way the rumors about it being as strong as a Xbox One are true No one said this.
>The switch is going to be just a supercharged Wii U What does Supercharged even mean? since it's not a defined basically anything more powerful than a WiiU is a super charged WiiU. A PS4 is a super charged WiiU. An Xbox One is a super charged WiiU.
>Won't change very much We don't know at all. How about we wait till January when they tell us the specs?
Christopher James
Doesn't look like anything to me
Hudson Collins
A flop is a flop, you can't say it only AMD
Benjamin James
Nvidia vs AMD is not going to make the difference between 750 gflops and 1.4 tflops
And let's pretend, just for a moment, that it did.
So. fucking. what. The Switch is as powerful as a 2013, obsolete console that was the weakest of its generation that's about to be replaced. Whoopdy fucking doo.
You act like being as powerful as the Xbone is a GOOD THING, when it's not even fucking true.
Nathan Smith
>developed by Crytek
Into the trash it goes. Have fun with your tech demo
Cameron Stewart
Nvidia can do it. When companies are put in a corner with noone willing to buy their design wins, miracles start happening.
Daniel Wilson
You are comparing architectures now.
Funny through, given Nvidia flops actually weight more usually.
Jayden Lee
Here you go, dumb dumb
Samuel King
It was just hard to use because it had 7 weird cores and a weaker GPU.
Jayden Brown
>Crytek
It's by some new French indie dev.
Samuel Gray
In the end it doesn't matter because every console runs like shit, I should know, I have them all.
It's like saying my shit doesn't smell as bad as yours, but they both still smell like shit.
Mason Richardson
>How about we wait till January when they tell us the specs? Because this is Nintendo and they will never talk about the specs? Please point to me when they talked about specs for the Wii or Wii U. Yeah, it didn't happen.
And I'm not the one making threads about how powerful the fucking thing is going to be, so don't tell me not to talk about it. How about YOU stop making threads about how powerful it will be so when we all know it's going to be underpowered like all Nintendo hardware?
Blake Hall

Michael Peterson
You do know that the Switch has a more powerful CPU than your PS4 Pro in *native* 4K. A Gpu is always bottlenecked by cpu. Having amore powerful cpu, makes a huge difference. Switch, when docket will be more powerful than PS4.
Charles Ward
No, it's supposed to be proof of 30fps, hence why I called the guy a dumb dumb you dumb dumb
Cooper Moore
Nintendo's shit is far stinkier than the other guy's though. I mean, when compared to PC, yes, the other consoles are bad. But Nintendo is bad compared to the other consoles, so what is Nintendo when compared to PC? It's total dogshit, man. Many games on the Wii U would actually look pretty good if they could run on decent hardware. Would it matter in the end? I don't know, but I would have enjoyed those games more, that's all I can say
Isaiah Torres
>Again, we don't know anything about the specs. We can infer so much from so many different angles and sources and yet you really insist on waiting a month to confirm it, especially when shitposters continually make threads about how powerful it's going to be?
Logan Wright

How log sonyniggers have fallend, I guess this is what happends when you can only enjoy at 30fps for years.

No idea how this is funny given the PS4 can't do 60fps after all this years.
Parker Bell
I can't wait for it to come out and see people be surprised that a tablet has tablet hardware
Cooper Allen
So you mean to tell me that if the Switch WAS powerful, he would have said >“For us, it’s not about fun, it’s not about content, it’s not about the games of a particular system. For us, it’s about the specs,” ? Also remember that the Wii U was still alive then, he couldn't say, yeah the Switch is super powerful so stop buying Wii U because it's shit.
Look I'm not saying the Switch will be powerful, but you can't say we already know it. Because we don't.
Samuel Jackson
yeah I'm sure you're an >t. expert
Daniel Harris
Has any tegra tablet even managed to beat a 360 yet?
Gavin Jones
I'm saying if they were making the Switch to be powerful, that would be a marketing angle and they would be taking every advantage possible. They're going to be severely downplaying the power because I suspect the Switch won't even be 1 tflop
And we know a lot more than that, and I'm not talking about twitter rumormongers. I'm talking about Nvidia.
I'm talking about we know how powerful the Pascal Tegra chip is already and it's only about twice as powerful as the Wii U.
>b-b-but it's custom Well, yeah, but there's increasingly less room to wiggle here. The specifications of the Switch, or rather, the *best possible case scenario* for it, as it could easily be worse, is shaping up to be pretty ho hum, and these are far more concrete than Emily Rogers
I'd really like to ask you why this is so important. Why is it so important that people think it could *possibly* be more powerful than it appears it will be? My conclusion is that people who act like you are shills. You don't want the public to make up its mind on the product before they see it, so you want to dismiss all the solid facts we have as "it's not proof of anything until we officially know everything"
I'm sorry but that kind of thinking kept man in the dark ages for the better part of a millennium. Just because we can't prove something conclusively doesn't mean it isn't true, and it's just absurdly improbable based on what we know and the fact that it is inherently a mobile device that the Switch will be as powerful as the dated 8th gen consoles. It's not going to happen in any way shape or form, the question isn't if it will be less powerful but how much less powerful it will be.

Nicholas Russell
>Thinks you can compare FLOPS between different architectures The reason flops between AMD and Nvidia differs is because of other hardware like memory bandwidth playing a role as well as driver and game optimizations
If the chips were strictly crunching numbers, the same amount of flops on AMD and Nvidia would yield very comparable results
Ian Foster
Those Nvidia Shields costs like $300 or $400 or some shit, Nvidia won't be putting any impressive tech into those Wii-3s if they're only $200.
Ethan Jackson

But this was originally posted by a Nintendo fan on a Nintendo subreddit.
Henry Hall
It doesn't need to be as powerful as the Pro or Scorpio, it just needs to be a s powerful as the Xbone so devs can't use the "power" excuse not to port multiplats.
Henry Reed
>pretty walking simulator #295: aspie edition
Simply amazing. Apologize right now sonyggers. Nintendo literally won.
Parker Rogers
Nvidia isn't a first-party dev so they don't make as much as the big three in game sales plus it's running Android instead of a locked-down OS like consoles. This means they have to make a profit on the hardware itself.
Dylan Sullivan
>1280x587 oh i am laffing
Elijah Davis
power isnt really the issue, its the system architecture. since xbone and ps4 use x86 its much easier to port games between them and pc. the reason devs use power as an excuse is because its quicker and cheaper to have a bunch of programmers who cant optimize worth dick than to shell out some extra cash to make the game run better at launch. with more ram and a faster cpu speed, you can get away with code that uses more memory than necessary and takes longer to compute as well. its the same thing with compression too, since 50gb is the standard blu ray size and 1tb is standard hdd size, devs wont bother to compress their games even before installing them and you end up wasting way more space because for some reason the devs thought you needed to have every single language pack for audio installed
Josiah Campbell
It's cropped for letterbox.
Lucas Wilson
Without seeing it in motion, it does seem to be at least on par with the Xbox One.
Bonus points if it has better CPU.
