Forums - Nintendo - Nintendo switch docked is at least 2.3 times the power of wii u.

Metroid33slayer on 13 January 2017

Mario kart 8 is running in 1080p on a docked switch, the wii u version could only handle 720p which is a 2.3 x increase in pixels. Now the wii u gpu has a performance of 176gf, times that by 2.3 and you get 405gf. So the console has to be a minimum of around 400 gf to be able to run mario kart 8 at this resolution.

Thats less than 1/3 the power of the XB1. If its running Skyrim remastered, it has to be more than that.



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

I heard the Skyrim port is based on the PS3/360 version, not the Remastered version. 

Wow so its not even a remastered version?

You can't use number of pixels to calculate system performance across different architectures.

 

For the love of..

At LEAST! Now the wonder can stop for a few decades.

But it gives us a rough guide.

No, no it doesn't at all.

Different you architecture, it means literally nothing.
