I fully understand switch and ps5 owners have different standards.

My point was more about black myth on steam deck...  pop it on a 55 inch TV and running "well" opnion is likely to change.  

Small screen have high pixel density, dropping resolution a dramatic impact and saves system resources.

And I will be shocked if the switch 2 overclocks dock.  I think it might actually hit clock speeds, but it won't overclock. 

I was referring to the fact that the Switch's GPU and RAM are clocked substantially higher in docked mode than portable. This is how most Switch games run at a much higher resolution (and often with other improved settings) in docked mode compared to portable.

I could be wrong, but as far as I'm aware, Steam Deck does not increase its performance when connected to a screen in this way. So Switch 2 should have a leg up over Steam Deck in this department.

Docked and Portable are just two power profiles - they are both underclocked compared to nVidia's Shield TV, which is THE original Tegra X1 hardware.

I think everybody expects for Nintendo to do it properly this time, AKA dock having extra cooling, so SW2 can clock way higher than in portable mode - if anything, SW1 is capable of running at quite higher frequencies than what is officially supported (lot of YT videos with hacked consoles running CPU/GPU/Memory at higher clocks than official).
