CPU and bandwidth - idTech 7 is bandwidth heavy, from what I understand. Honestly, waiting to see if whoever is porting DOOM Dark Ages manages to make it run at 60fps...even if it's based on something like dynamic 600p. Apparently, idTech 8 is better positioned to achieve that than idTech 7.

That is where I am at, which aligns with my prediction.  The S2 simply doesn't have the power to manage 60 fps in modern games, it largely is off the table, with a few exceptions here and there.  Even RE9 doesn't hold 60 fps, and the game requirements are quite low (1660 gpu and 8th gen i5). 

I mean it depends on which games; demanding AAA PS5/Xbox Series games will mostly not be 60fps, but not all modern games are CPU heavy or push more than Switch 2 can handle. It'll come down to the technical makeup of the game in question and whether the developers have the necessary resources to achieve it.
