Been experimenting with Doom Dark Ages on an old Dell Workstation I have with an i7 4770 (1226 single, 3918 multi in GB6) and an RTX A1000 50W (SFF). The A1000 on paper is 2.2 times a Switch 2 docked and ~4 times a Switch 2 in handheld. I underclocked it to about 65% of its peak performance, making it about +35% Switch 2 docked and 2.5 times Switch 2 handheld. VRAM usage is at about 5.5 GB with everything set to low, system ram usage about 3 GB, resolution is DLSS Performance @1080p. My i7 4770 seems to be bottlenecking it though, so utilization is more like 40% of peak performance rather than 65%. Basically getting a constant 35 FPS with these settings. Game looks very blurry though with nasty artifacts. Quality mode eliminates many of these artifacts but drops the framerate to a variable 27-33 fps.
Anyway, I think the game is do-able on Switch 2 given this, but it will likely be a port that requires some very tailored optimizations. I am guessing if they do achieve it, it will be a sub-540p/540p -> 1080p 30fps experience docked, and 320p -> 720p 30fps handheld.
Initially was going to try an A400 since it is closer to Switch 2 Docked (~ 87% of Switch 2 docked performance, was going to overclock to make up the gap, then underclock to near handheld performance) but the VRAM bottleneck made it impossible.
I wasn't expecting Doom Dark Ages to be this demanding given how well Doom Eternal runs on even weak PC's.
