I see no reason why when the Switch toggles between docked output and portable output it could be a switch between 60fps and 30fps. The game could be still generating 60fps internally but only outputting 30fps on the portable screen. I understand it can't switch between higher and lower quality assets because that would require a long pause between switching but m pc will happily toggle between 60 and 30 fps screen modes on the fly without problems. Combined with dynamic resolution which the nvidia gpu's tend to do very well, Switch, PS3 etc I would of thought that was a good possible solution. I really think the game experience will be much reduced if they don't maintain 60fps when docked. It's going to have reduced quality texture assets for sure so it can work in portable mode. Anyway I'm sure the developer understands that a huge part of the appeal of the game is the 60fps .

I think different CPU speed would complicated thing more, in this way Nintendo and devs are using higher GPU speed just raise resolution, everything else is same in portable and docked mode.

CPU speed is same in docked/undocked on Switch. 1020mhz for both.

Yes, I answer to him because he said why CPU speed also is not different to docked and handheld mode like GPU.

Oh right, I didn't see his earlier post. Yeah I agree it would make the different versions more complicated then they are currently.

So that's how Doom would look if it was released 7 years earlier. Nintendo cashing in on nostalgia as usual.
