Alleged Nintendo Switch 2 Specs Leak Out: Powered by NVIDIA Ampere GPU With Ray Tracing & DLSS 2.2 Support

Looks like Kopite has adjusted their speculation based on their sources and leaks. Switch 2 won't be based on Lovelace but rather Ampere which does sound more legit as the Switch came out during Pascal era with Maxwell based Tegra X1. So Switch 2 coming out being Ampere based during Lovelace era makes sense. While it won't be the latest and greatest, it will still be a huge generational leap. And since it's rumoured to have Ray Tracing enabled, it should be more powerful than the Steam Deck when it comes out in (imo) 2024.

Hackers now demand NVIDIA should make their drivers open source or they leak more data

Doubt that will ever happen. Not the best year for Nvidia. First losing out on Arm deal, now getting hacked and having all your secrets leaked! But hey, I am not complaining.

I really don't think Switch 2 should put any focus on RT, considering how games like Pokemon/Zelda are barely filling their landscapes with much to even cast shadows with. They could be using the rest of that power to make their settings look not as dead and aliased to hell .

Also the hackers sound like a dying corpse with the recent dive for crypto. They claim they are doing it for teh gamers, but really they are just doing it purely for crypto and nothing else. Dude's need to be jailed asap and get that sweet tech band for the rest of their lives (I'm deadly serious about life-time tech bans).

Well it is Nvidia hardware and we have seen the Steam Deck perform surprisingly well with some Ray Tracing titles on AMD hardware. As the Switch 2 is meant to be a platform that will last them the next 5-7 years, I think they should add in Ray Tracing for compatibility with third party games. Like Metro enhanced edition for example won't work on platforms that doesn't have some form of Ray Tracing.

Yea while on the face of it, they may want to sound like the good guys, in reality, they probably want a huge sum of cash. Assuming Nvidia doesn't cave in to their demands by this Friday, AMD and Intel should have a pretty good idea as to where Lovelace will land. While neither AMD/Intel should be looking at the actual source code because if they implement them directly into their own code, Nvidia will sue them to bits... I am sure they are looking at all these specifics and theorizing how Lovelace will perform and how to combat them.
