Virtuoso Try putting a point for discussions on Technical potential of Nintendo Switch 2start even before the announcement of the console and ongoing even now that it is found in the hands of millions of gamers.
Interviewed by WCCFTECH, the Technical Director Eoin O’grady discussed the “pure power” by Nintendo Switch 2 By comparing it with the two consoles that are more often brought up in this type of comparative: PlayStation 4 and Xbox Series S. in a nutshell, Kyoto’s infant is close to both, it all depends on what point you want to watch it.
“In terms of GPU, Switch 2 has slightly lower performances in Series S”explained O ‘Graty. “This difference can be seen more in portable mode. In any case, Series S does not support technologies such as DLSS, which Switch 2 instead has. This makes the skills of the GPUs of the two consoles overall comparable“.
He then continued: “In terms of CPU, there is a clear distinction between the two consoles: Switch 2 is closer to PS4 in this aspect, having A slightly more powerful CPU than that of PS4. Since most of the games tend to be more limited by the GPU rather than the CPU when they are well optimized, the impact of this difference depends on the specific game and on the lens of frame rate. Any game that comes out at 60fps on Series S should be easily convertible for Switch 2. In the same way, even a Series S game blocked at 30fps and limited by the GPU should be easy to convert. Games with complex physics, animations and other elements that weigh on the CPU could offer a greater challenge to reach 30 or 60fps, or request extra optimization during port operations “.
Further clear than that … Eoin O’grady, we specify, works for Black Shamrock, a subsidiary of Virtuos operational in Ireland. Among the latest projects of the study specialized in porting the Xbox Series S and Series X versions of Marvel’s Midnight Suns and the Next-Gen version of The Outer Worlds. During the same interview, O’grady also spoke of other aspects related to Switch 2, arriving to predict greater sales than those of Switch 1.
