Nintendo Switch has the same hardware specification as Nvidia Shield TV

shacknews.com/article/99018/rumor-nintendo-switch-graphics-and-hardware-specs-leaked

Switch has an extra GB of RAM for the OS

It built on the 2nd Maxwell architecture (GTX 900's series from 2 years ago)

Performance wise it will have the same performance as an overclocked GTX 920/930m.

Maxwell architecture great for older DX 11 titles, horrible for Vulkan and newer Unity engine's (Doesn't have real Async computing just CPU heavy Simulated one.... Which will probably worse on a mobile/tablet CPU at 2Ghz.

TL;DR: Nvidia had a Shield 2.0 prototype, they showed it to Nintendo, Nintendo snatched it up and jewed out some stuff (1080p screen, disconnectable controller instead of bigger battery). And they selling a $170-200 ( retail price... Its probably cost around 100-150 to make Switch console) tablet with controllers for $300

Oh and you need to use a smartphone for social stuff: Chat massaging, Partying, DLC's, ETC.

>inb4 this is a Dev kit leak from 9 months ago

And you think they changed a whole architecture from Maxwell to Pascal in 9 months? No its still Maxwell, and that's more than enough for me. Also there is no such thing as "Third Generation Maxwell"... Nvidia is already working on Volta.

Also the desktop equivalent of the Nintendo Switch APU:

products.amd.com/en-us/search/APU/AMD-A-Series-Processors/AMD-A8-Series-APU-for-Desktops/A8-7600-with-Radeon™-R7-Series/62

The cheapest 4 core APU: $60

I'm pretty sure the A4-7300 3.8GHz Dual-Core Processor beats the Nvidia shield in games what only utilizes 1-2 cores ant thats only $30

But hey its portable and can play Zelda on it. Also Enjoy your Beta Multiplayer system

You made this thread yesterday.

I know right? its not like we cannot discuss the same topic again?

You are going to get the exact same resposnses.
You are antishilling at this point
Let people enjoy things asshat

Not to mention the post is full of lies too

> you need to use a smartphone for social stuff: Chat massaging, Partying, DLC's, ETC.

This is simply not true
So yeah fuck off sony shill

>Enjoy things on Sup Forums

Alright, even if you are a fan of Switch or not, its still an extremely bad value. It has literally one fully fledged game at launch (which is not Switch exclusive) and you got Splatoon 1.5 in BETA

>Performance wise it will have the same performance as an overclocked GTX 920/930m.

can't tell if this is a good or bad thing

i have a 960 and can play 98% of games on high settings at 60fps

I will wait for the day one teardown. But those are the specs that i am expecting.

I skipped the wii u and i dont see a reason to not skip the switch, too. I can't spend 400€+ for 2007 graphics in 2017. My rx480 costs 230€ and it's mathematically funny how much better it is than this thing.

I want to play zelda though, which means, i will try emulating it on CEMU. If this doesn't work, i will get a very cheap used wii u and play it there.

Not falling for the "one worthwhile game per year"-policy that nintendo has been doing since late 2005.
They are making it really hard for nintendo fans to return back to them. The switch being comically weak means that it wont last 3 years.
If someone like me, where money is not a problem, can't justify buying a switch, i wonder who will.

Ok not op lets just take a step back and remove all Sup Forums filters we like to put up.

Besides the few people I know who come here, every one I know (Normies) who plays games has a pre-ordered a switch just like they did for the wii.

Hell I got one and I like to pretend that I didn't or I cancelled the order. I wont because fuck that noise, if this turns out to be a huge seller I want to be one of those smug ass holes who got one like the ps4, I don't play it, but I still shit post and bait like a sonigger. Our distaste or trolling of the system isn't doing anything to curb or bolster sales but we will all act like its was us all along like we did for Tortanic, when in reality we were nothing more than the fucking barnacles on the ship parroting the same shit we heard from the beginning.

Dollar to doughnuts if it does well we will still shit talk, if it does bad we will shit talk.

The End, Finish, Happy Trails To You Till We Meet Again.

Im not buying a switch this year but its just a moronic thread

People buy nintendo for nintendo games, it literally doesnt matter how underpowered it is to them

The 930m is a low tier laptop gpu. It's not even close to a 960.

THIS.

>hey Nintendo we got bunch of Shield TVs left in our warehouses, want to buy some
>sure also add some gimmicks and nobody will notice

>People buy nintendo for nintendo games, it literally doesnt matter how underpowered it is to them

then why was the wiiu a failure?

DELEEET

Was it? It made a profit.

so why create a new system and not just stick with the old?

Its a failure because Sup Forums demands it.

They call Catholicism failure even though its got to be one of the biggest most powerful business that literally makes nothing but "faith"

Because that's how consoles work

its true, this is a shitty $100 tablet that nintendo is trying to heavily market to fad hoppers for max profit, like they did with the wii

NINTENDO HATES YOU Sup Forums, they want the hipsters, the soccer moms, and the social media mobile phone obsessed nu-males

WiiU is still rather new. If there was no problem and the system could survive on Nintendo Titles alone they wouldnt have created a new system this soon.

Next you wanna argue that the xbone revisions werent necessary

investors were frothing at the dick that nintendo wasn't charging for online

I don't wanna live with you in the same house.
>Notto thisu shittu again~

Never heard of marketing? If one product fails and people worldwide accept/see it as failure, nobody is going to bother with it. If you release the same shit again under different name with way better marketing and if people accept it as a success because 'everyone buys it' then the same fucking product is going to be great.
This is how it works in terms of food, drinks, clothes and even hardware.

Sup Forums is an endless stream of the same topics. If you want fresh content why are you here?

Or do you only care when it's Nintendo being the target of banter?

>WiiU is still rather new
Not really, nintendo systems tend to be released every 5 years (wii, along with gen 7 as a whole, was an outlier).

"yes."

Because it didnt have a Metroid game, Fire Emblem, Animal Crossing, a true 3D Mario game, and a Zelda game (until it's dead), etc

But hey at least it had Star Fox. Even if it was shit

>true 3D Mario game
end this meme

>Can't come up with a good come back
>Has to bash the competitor

Why are Nintendo fans the most toxic of all?

>dat irony

>hey Nintendo we got bunch of Shield TVs left in our warehouses, want to buy some
>sure also add some gimmicks and nobody will notice

OH FUCK, OP. GUESS YOU AREN'T BUYING ONE NOW, HUH? FUCK! OH WELL PLENTY OF OTHER COMPANIES TO SUPPORT WITH YOUR HARD EARNED NEET BUCK, EH? GUESS YOU'LL JUST HAVE TO SIT BACK AND LET PEOPLE SPEND THEIR MONEY ON WHATEVER DISTRACTIONS THEY WANT THAT GETS THEM THROUGH THE DAY, HUH?

Actual autism

it's:

>cruise control for cool

lurk more.

Or fuck off, I don't care.

Serious talk though, how does the specs compare to a Wii U

>trips of serious talk

You already know the answer: a little but better but not enough to please anyone on Sup Forums.

It's about the games ultimately, and my usualy rule is that I don't buy a console until there's at least 5 games in the pipeline that I offcially want and at least 3 have to be OUT. It's a good rule that has served me well overall.

I still haven't bought a PS4 because it's not hit 5 games.

Because the Wii U was not a great place to go for Nintendo games. Mario and Mario Kart, Smash, Pikmin, Xenoblade, Donkey Kong, and Splatoon were like the only exclusive first party successes. Everything else either got nothing (Metroid, F-Zero (unsurprising)), got ported (Hyrule Warriors, Woolly World, Zelda), was just a spinoff (Pokemon (unsurprising), Kirby, Animal Crossing, Fire Emblem (tenuously related at that)) or was just bad (Star Fox).

>Implying Nintendogaf doesn't shill and make the same Zelda and Switch threads everyday.

Specs don't matter to me much. Many of my favorite games are old as fuck and run on limited hardware. I just want the Switch to actually have games.

>modern console
>actual games

dare we dream...?

>Meme games AKA pure shit
Galaxy 1

What's the point of troll posts like this? It's not even subtle.

>ignores 3DWorld

Your post is satire the moment you forgot it.

What's mathematically funny is how poor you are.
I got a GTX1070, PS4 Pro and I'm getting that Switch eventually as well. I'm pirating Zelda on my Wii U btw, so not missing out on that.

How the hell are they getting zelda at 1080p and 60fps?

>someone like me, a shitskin who can't trim his fingernails

FTFY

>60fps

They're not.

Fake news.

>buying consoles
>surprised you get jewed

Why even bother

Zelda is running at 30fps, and even 1080p is unclear, there are some reports that it runs at 900p docked.

Even Bomberman R is said to run at 30fps, this is really underwhelming.

>unironically playing games for the graphics

>there are some reports that it runs at 900p docked.
It's been confirmed by Nintendo themselves to be 900p/30

NO, NO, YOU'RE FUCKING LYING! NINTENDO WOULD NEVER DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT!

nobody cares. The Shield doesn't have Nintendo games. The Switch does.

>Rumor
come on now

It got outsold by Vita.

>It's a "We pretend we know and understand anything about how technology works, looking solely at dates and numbers rather than looking at the sum as a whole"

The fact that it's confirmed to be heavily customised, supports Vulkan API and so forth is more telling than some rumours. Also, reminder that the Foxconn leak, which is confirmed to be real, said it looked more like Pascal architecture.

This is PS4 pre-release rumour mill all over again.

To bad the nividia shield is fucking gay.

>IF I POST THIS A TON IT'LL EVENTUALLY COME TRUE
>"""Possible leaked Nintendo internal documents"""
>always links to the same source

uber kek. I'm actually now thinking you're just a shill for that shitty site.

>didn't buy nes at launch
>bought snes at launch
>didn't buy n64 at launch
>bought gamecube at launch
>didn't buy wii at launch
>bought wii u at launch

you can guess the pattern for me.

Yes, we know it's shit. Anyone who buys it is retarded.

Regardless of what's true, all rumors point to it being a piece of over priced shit.

Whoa you're old as shit
>not born yet for NES
>not born until 3 months after SNES release
>too young to buy N64 at launch
>got GameCube at launch for bday
>got Wii at launch
>got Wii U in 2015
>never buying switch bullshit fuck you nintendo after the Wii U I'll never buy your shit again

>"All rumours I want to believe for the purpose of shitposting"

I mean, at least the FoxConn leak is real.

But the Nvidia Shield runs fucking Android TV.

It could be top of the line hardware for an insane price, but it's still running a fucking smartphone OS with no games.

While you can say that the Switch is overpriced and underpowered, it's gonna get Nintendo first party support and their library of games on an OS they built themselves. You just can't compare it to a Shield or any tablet.

You honestly think any of the Switch' supposed specs for a console releasing in 2017 are acceptable?

>first party
So all we're gonna see is Mario, Zelda, Fire Emblem, and Pokemon. While they continue to rape and sodomize the rest of their franchises. Oh boy!

As opposed to Angry Birds, a trillion tower defense games, Candy Crush, and whatever else F2P IP rape that absolutely fills the Play Store?

Yes, bravo Nintendo. In order to be remotely relevant they have to go up against mobile games to come out on top. Truly the company we need to support.

The thread is about directly comparing the Nvidia Shield to the Switch, not all their competitors. But I should've figured that goalposts were gonna be raised.

Maybe if I were a retard that thinks that numbers and staring blindly at individual parts like they're are all that matters, rather than how it's customised, works as a whole, the APIs supported and so forth.

We don't even know anything about the GPU and even if you say "Maxwell!", the fact of the matter is that GPUs like the 980ti use it. And notice how it says "Second generation Maxwell" which means that at worst it'll be something based on GeForce GTX 965M or GeForce GTX 960.

Good for Nintendo. They recognized they were shit at making hardware and just stole Nvidia's designs.

>Performance wise it will have the same performance as an overclocked GTX 920/930m.

Wrong

>Maxwell architecture great for older DX 11 titles, horrible for Vulkan and newer Unity engine's (Doesn't have real Async computing just CPU heavy Simulated one.... Which will probably worse on a mobile/tablet CPU at 2Ghz.

Wrong

>TL;DR: Nvidia had a Shield 2.0 prototype, they showed it to Nintendo, Nintendo snatched it up and jewed out some stuff (1080p screen, disconnectable controller instead of bigger battery). And they selling a $170-200 ( retail price... Its probably cost around 100-150 to make Switch console) tablet with controllers for $300

Talking out of your ass to start a shitpost thread

Man really great thread you have here OP

Its around 4 times stronger than a Wii U in docked modus.

Running around withh The Switch makes it around 1,5 times stronger than a Wii U.

In other words you have actually a mobile Wii U in your hands while playing it as handheld.

Can it run games like Witcher 3? DOOM '16? RE7? Red Dead 3: Redemption 2? No? Then why should anyone care?

>DOOM '16
That's actually possible, especially thanks to the Vulkan API.

so an overclocked ps vita tablet edition??

Oh shit I want DOOM with pointer shooting.

>pointer shooting.
You mean the gyro aim thing? Because that'd be great honestly, best aiming solution for consoles honestly. It's pretty retarded that games for PS4 hasn't made use of gyro for shooters much yet.

Well I was thinking wii pointers but if the gyro is as good and you can easily recenter it if it goes nuts, that'd be amazing.

I don't like gyro stuff when holding an actual device like the 3DS or U pad, but gyro with a joycon that's undocked would be fine.

>You mean the gyro aim thing? Because that'd be great honestly
If you want to play DOOM with gyro aim just do it on PC with a Steam controller. A PS4 controller probably works too.

>Nintendo Switch has the same hardware specification as Nvidia Shield TV
>Switch has an extra GB of RAM for the OS
So which one is it you dipshit?
