Lets get real about the most likely scenario with NS.

If the dock doesn't have any specs in it, then frame rates will be the same. The TV is only going to upscale the resolution.

The dock delivers a stable supply of power -> more power available to chipset than battery -> -> system runs faster -> higher res rendered in reality (not upscale) -> possibly more FPS as well.

^ this is my belief.

540-720p when portable.

720p-1080p when docked, on tv.

 

Where does the extra cpu&gpu power come from? Your thinking about it backwards.

How does it play the those games and not run out of battery in 2 secounds flat? well it downclocks when its portable, which means it then also drops resolution so it still runs smoothly (but uses less power).
