Right, but this really puts it in perspective. A game like Doom also shows limitations.

Games in practice is the best benchmark.

It's also probably too late for GTA V Port with GTA Online for Switch, game just turned 4 years old.

I don't think GTA V port for Switch would make sense in 2017, but it's the last Rockstar game that would work on the system without big downgrades, as it's Rockstar last PS3/Xbox 360 game. A shame, portable GTA V in 720p and ps3 or above graphics? That would be nice, and 1080p docked.

Well, Skyrim is even older. ;)

Truth, but Bethesda loves to milk Skyrim though.

As for Rockstar, they never really did remasters. Some would consider PS4, Xbox One and PC versions of GTA V remasters, but files related to code names of these consoles were found back when PS3 version released. Rockstar just wanted to cash in 2 months before current gen consoles came out, and / or they weren't ready for PS4 and Xbox One Port, with PC version arriving months later, upon many delays in April 2015.

I'm actually suprised about L.A. Noire "Remaster" and the fact they are giving Switch a chance, good for them.

But it's still first time Rockstar is remaking game that is over 2 years old, maybe they want to develop sequel to L.A. Noire themselves? Team Bondi closed years ago.

I know, I know. But 4 GB of ram? That seems troublesome. Rockstar abandoned PS3 and 360 Online updates in October of 2015 due to "technical limitations" like lack of ram. I know they have 512 MB, and PS4 and Xbox One have 5 GB for games, but would Switch handle the updates? GTA V on the Switch would have to include Online, cause Take-Two wouldn't allow otherwise, not to mention people raging about lackluster port.

PS3 Level visuals + all updates for Online and 1080p docked? Would be awesome. Will it happen? I doubt it. Nintendo also has to improve online, check the Eurogamer link I posted in my previous post.

Online is too important, big and lucrative for the publisher not to include imo. That's one feature that can't be cut, graphics can, content can't.

I think Rockstar is focused on L.A. Noire for PS4, Xbox One and Switch and RDR 2 for PS4 and Xbox One next Spring.

Switch port could come as Single Player only game when GTA Online dies in few years imo, some remasters don't include multiplayer modes, but then again GTA Online is a huge moneymaker.

Let's just wait and see, hopefully people buy L.A. Noire on Switch. I'm curious to see how it looks in November.

Well I don't think it being a new system is relevant. I mean Wii U launched with some pretty notable 7th gen games. So we saw out the gate what the Wii U could essentially do.

With Switch though, there just hasn't been a lot of content to directly compare with 7th gen platforms. LA Noire on Switch confirms the Switch handle 7th gen content with relative ease.

I still wouldn't call it technically impressive for Switch though, even at 1080p the game appears to be using the same assets as a system with 1/6th as much memory and a GPU much older and significantly less capable. 

If it was a home console, I would agree. For a portable device though, its massive leap over 3DS and Vita.

The 3DS couldn't even deliver games equal PS2, although it had some superior effects. Yet the Switch is doing graphics beyond the PS360.

The Vita had a lot of RAM by the way, but the textures were at par with 6th gen. SO AGAIN, the specs on paper aren't always great in practice.

Switch's RAM advantage isn't just evident on paper though, but also in practice. Vita was a different story; it had only a slim RAM advantage that was nullified by losing more of its memory to the OS, and a much weaker GPU than PS3/360. Switch by contrast has several times more memory and the additional GPU power to leverage it.
