Forums - Nintendo - Nvidia says they are powering the Switch

Ultrashroomz on 20 October 2016

Could've sworn it was confirmed to be AMD.

Guess not.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

Aren`t Nvidia known for being expensive though? :o

Yea but their mobile chips like the X1 and rumoured X2 that Switch uses aren't popular with anyone. I can't think of a product other than Nvidas own that use them so they have to give them away cheaper then they would want to Nintendo.

Nope. Nvidia said they're powering all aspects of the NX.

Damn, I was wrong. Skyrim and Zelda did appear to be running a bit off. Sorta like running on Unreal....but it looks like it can't handle it that well. So I'm thinking Tegra X1 then.

I noticed that too.. hopefully the console can run most games smoothly D:

Got to be the next tegra.

Easy for me to say, because I didn't have a horse in the race, but...

Time for another round of crow avatars? Or can we keep the booty theme going, pl0x?

I do notice some framerate drops when it's in handheld mode that aren't present in the docked/console footage. Makes me think specs are boosted when it's docked. 

That's what I'm thinking as well

For some reason, it's because of power efficiency.
