Now the wii u gpu has a performance of 176gf, times that by 2.3 and you get 405gf. So the console has to be a minimum of around 400 gf to be able to run mario kart 8 at this resolution. http://www.gamespot.com/articles/mario-kart-8-nintendo-switch-resolution-and-frame-/1100-6446930/ |
The PS3 has about 300 GFLOPS, maybe more. 405 GFLOPS would make the Switch 35% more powerful. Which is weak nowdays. And yes, the PS3 does run some games at 1080p too. It means nothing. Also 405 GFLOPS is much lower than the speculated 700 GFLOPS I've read other times and 1/3 of the power of the XB1 that still has troubles running games at 1080p.
If those are really the numbers the Switch is nothing else than a glorified dockable handheld. A cool one, I must admit, but still an handheld.
