And the Switch 1 isn't running the 2011 edition. The 2011 edition uses a 32bit engine and the Switch uses a 64bit build, it uses the special edition engine. It will have the higher CPU requirements associated with that.

It just has a bunch of the SSE graphical enhancements disabled, which will have a negligible impact on the CPU.

Right so him treating it like the 2011 at first but then switching up later when it was convenient was some real nonsense. Acting as if it's up in the air whether the Switch 2 could run the original version at 60fps might be the stupidest thing I've seen on here this whole year.

My mistake and not an intention to mislead anyone.  I forgot that the the Skyrim VR edition runs at 60fps on the PS4. So yes, we know the CPU is capable of 60fps. Wish I had remembered that earlier. Maybe BGS could only achieve a version at 60fps that looked like the PS4 version in VR mode, and maybe they weren't happy with that and chose graphics over framerate. I still think expecting double the framerate of PS4 Skyrim (non VR version) from BGS for Switch 2 is unfair. Digital foundry have shown how close the systems are in performance and have compared the Switch 2 to a PS4 with DLSS. Why not believe them are are great at what they do. Unless I'm mistaken on that too? What would you expect a 60fps version to look like?
