The handheld console industry has evolved greatly over the years. From the first handheld consoles to today, portable gaming devices have made significant progress in terms of both technical features and user experience. Nintendo has maintained its leading position in the handheld console market since the Game Boy and reinforced this success with the Switch. Switch 2 will offer players a wide range of games by providing access to the existing game library, not only with its new features but also with its backward compatibility.
As the release of Nintendo Switch 2 approaches, leaked information about the technical features of the console continues to create excitement in the gaming world. According to the latest data, the performance data offered by Nintendo Switch 2 in handheld console and dock mode is a candidate to redefine the next generation gaming experience.
GPU FREQUENCY INCREASED TO 1000 MHZ
In Switch 2’s handheld console mode, the GPU’s clock frequency is set at 561 MHz, which corresponds to a performance of approximately 1.71 TFLOPS. This level provides very competitive performance among devices that offer portable gaming experiences.
In docked mode, the clock frequency of the GPU increases to 1000 MHz, which corresponds to approximately 3.1 TFLOPS performance. Although this value is slightly below the 4 TFLOPS power of the Xbox Series S, it offers a remarkable performance thanks to Nintendo’s innovative technologies.
Switch 2’s support for NVIDIA’s DLSS Super Resolution and Ray Reconstruction technologies will significantly increase the graphics performance of the console. DLSS SR will help improve gaming performance by delivering high-quality images even at lower resolutions. However, the availability of ray tracing effects will depend on how developers direct GPU power.
Nintendo Switch 2 is preparing to make a big impact in the gaming world with its technical innovations and powerful performance. The official launch of the console is expected by the end of Nintendo’s fiscal year, and new information and leaks will continue to excite gamers during this time.
