WiiU is more powerful than X360 and PS3 but less powerful than X1 and PS4. Switch is more powerful than X360 and PS3 but less powerful than X1 and PS4. How much room do you think is in that gap?

In layman's terms, the Tegra X1 in the Switch is around 2-3 times more capable than the Wii U's Latte GPU, while the Switch has 3GB of RAM available to games compared with 1GB on Wii U.

As a point of comparison, let's look at FAST Racing Neo, one of the most technically advanced games on both Wii U and Switch. On Wii U it uses a reconstructed 720p resolution where some elements are rendered at half-res, or just 640x720. On Switch it runs at 900p-1080p with no reconstruction, a very substantial increase in pixel throughput. Then on top of that it has a more stable 60fps on Switch and improved lighting effects as well.
