540p isn't a get out of jail free card, it won't allow PS4 graphics on a handheld. Downgrades would still have to be made to textures, shaders, effects, geometry, etc.

You simply can't run FFXV on a portable in 2017, even at 540p, the technology just isn't there yet.

 

They're some of the most important though. FFXV, FF7R and KH3 are orders of magnitude more important than pretty much any of the multiplats Vita/PS3 get. They get the second-rate stuff like Star Ocean.

We don't know. I just showed a mobile Nvidia processor ... albiet a laptop one that's only 550 GFLOPS running PS4/XB1 only games at 720p no less. 

Can the Pascal Nvidia Tegra X2 match the Nvidia 730M from Jan 2013? I'm thinking it probably can. No only is the power envelope closing but the architectural advances will be huge too. 

PS4 graphics in a portable form factor in March 2017 is a physical impossibility. A laptop has far more room to breathe in terms of size, heat generation, and power consumption than a portable. Resolution isn't the only issue either; it won't be able to submit enough polygons, it won't have enough memory to store all the textures, etc.

I'm forced to agree with fatslob here, you're being way, waaaay too optimistic regarding NX.
