A month ahead of Switch 2’s global release, we accidentally bought a real motherboard of Switch 2! We decided to reverse-engineer its NVIDIA SoC, and reveal the spces of its CPU and GPU, even head to a FIB-SEM to ensure its process node! We’d also simulate the performance on a similar PC to see how powerful is Switch 2. Stay tuned!

      Still the best engineered bang for your Buck/power draw card ever created in my eyes. Power draw of a lightbulb and I put it side by side with my freinds Xbox one at release and beat its performance.

      I wish companies stayed on that track.

          It’s like we’re returning to the early 00s lol. I used to rock a 450w psu in my 750ti build. :( granted I use a 650w today but my rx580 SND Ryzen 5 1500x is getting dated when it comes to new releases.

          This is the first year I really don’t meeet requirements. Don’t know what to do with this market lol

            The pc market has taken a very consumerist turn and it’s actually pretty disgusting. Sad times.

    Around the same as the Steam Deck when portable, but with access to significantly better upscaling.

    Such a shame FSR looks so terrible, the Steam Deck would otherwise hold up much better against it.

    I’m still not going to buy one and only use my Deck though.

      So there really is no excuse for the new Pokemon games to look so terrible.

    A bit of topic, but it pains me to see how powerful high end phones got. Like most people just use them to text and scroll social media. Why do people spend that much money?!

      I ended up buying a cheap controller that clamps to my phone and run emulators. It works way better than I ever expected.

      Conditioning. They have more money so they spend it proportionally.

      If anything, it makes me wonder why we don’t have more small dedicated handheld gaming devices that aren’t phones or pseudocomputers and don’t cost a bomb.

      Like a £220 PSP/GBA/DS-like device with decent first-party support would be really nice for me imo

        Because we already have phones.

        The solution is to release games for phones that require a controller, but most companies aren’t willing to be the first ones to do it.

        The Switch Lite is exactly this. $200 handheld that runs first party games. There are android handhelds like the Retroid pocket 5 as well.

        A Steam Deck Lite would be incredible. Small, cheap, linux-based, and powerful enough to run indie games and some light 3D. I think that form factor basically needs an arm cpu though.

    People who buy a Switch 2 are not the same people who care about this stuff.

    I love how my boy 750ti is in there. My first real gpu and my favorite because it was a time when NVIDIA was showing interest in getting the most bang out of lower power draw. That went out the window

    Yuck, 1/4th the performance of a 3060?

    I already have a 3060 laptop lmao. You can buy a 4070 lenovo laptop at walmart for $1k.

    And nintendo wants to start charging $80 for games? On top of paying an extra subscription to use our own internet? Yeah, fuck that.

    Sail the high seas. Your wallet and your dignity will be better off for it.
