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

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

Xbox isn't portable

The Switch is a 9th gen console. And this is with the Switch DOCKED.

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).

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.

At LEAST! Now the wonder can stop for a few decades. I'm still happy with Vita/PS3 level most times.

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

Wow so its not even a remastered version?

It's also being held back to see how the switch sales go i reckon.

And? Xbox isn't portable. The dock just has power dude. The dock has no chips. Just some ports. All the dock allows the tablet to do is provide power for the GPU to go full scale. Switch is a inch thick device.

No it is not. Because the CPU provides a huge bottleneck. The GPU of the switch is much faster but the ultra low power ARM CPU is slower than the Wii-U CPU which can be a problem.

Also the calculation is wrong since you do not know the GPU load percentage of the Wii-U which is important when making such assumtions. And pixesls are the wrong unit to measure the performance of 3D games.

But it gives us a rough guide.

No, no it doesn't at all.

Different you architecture, it means literally nothing.

If one console can only run a game in 720p and another console can run the same game at 1080p then it doesn't take a rocket scientist to work out that the console running the game at 1080p has quite a big power advantage, no?

So its just a way of connecting the switch to a TV. They may as well sell this for $200 without the dock and add it in as an additional feature...
