| Soundwave said: Docked it's not really. And before people start parading the 500 GFLOP number, the Shield TV also throttles down to the same clock Eurogamer has the Switch at (394 GFLOPS approx) within a few minutes. Infact Switch is better because it has 4GB of RAM instead 2GB the Nvidia Sheild console does. Undocked, yes they have to make a version that is scaled down. |
Ugh. Yes really. The nVidia Shield TV is superior.
There is more to performance than Flops. You are also forgetting the CPU performance, that matters as well alright?
The nVidia Shield TV also has 3GB of Ram, not 2GB. Try to remain accurate.
The Android OS will use less memory than the 1Gb reserved by Nintendo on the Switch. As far as usable Ram capacity for gaming goes, they are closer than you think.
The Shield TV also has no throttling.

Anandtech is one of the most trusted tech outlets on the internet, I will easily trust them over some random person on the internet in regards to tech.
It's a full 1Ghz Maxwell GPU. Which means it has roughly 25% more Shader Performance, Geometry Performance, ROP performance, TMU performance and more, than the Switch.
The CPU also runs at twice the clock rate.
So no. The Switch is not better than the nVidia Shield TV. It is actually weaker. Sorry to burst your bubble.
