| Soundwave said: Doubt a Maxwell-based chip can cut the mustard in that regard. There are also other issues because Emily is saying those originally leaked specs are mostly true, one of the problems with that is Maxwell based Tegra has a memory bandwidth of 25GB/sec, this is also listed in the leaked specs for Switch. 25GB/sec is going to be a big problem for PS4/XB1 parity, I think aboslutely 540p/720p are likely with reduced effects on top of that. 900p-1080p I think is going to be in docked mode only and for games that Nintendo showed in the trailer -- Zelda: BotW, Mario Kart, Splatoon ... basically games that are only aiming for Wii U levels of visuals. |
Bolded is true and I had forgot about that. Xbox One is only 68GB/s for reference.

Considering that every AAA launched thus far can run on 2GB of maxwell architecture on PCs, I think it is not as dire as people think. Keeping it 720/900 with lower textures/AA/etc, I think, will be doable.
