One of its components really holds it back [VIDEO]

Until now, it was possible to guess that Nintendo's hybrid console, which was released seven years ago, could not achieve better performance due to one of its components, but now there is video proof of this, as you can see how much nuance the Big N console can change.

You can't expect the Nintendo Switch to be able to keep up with the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, but the platform could go even better with a simple tweak. We recently reported how a Nintendo Switch OLED with 8GB of RAM instead of 4 showed better performance in Mortal Kombat 1 or The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. The same YouTuber improved the performance of another OLED converter, but this time he went even further.

This time, there is also 8GB of RAM in the SK Hynix NEI console, but this time the memory clock speed has also been increased significantly. The result is quite astonishing: memory really hinders the console's performance. If we increase the RAM clock to 3050 MHz, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild runs at approximately 60 FPS! Switch ports of Hogwarts Legacy and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt also showed improvement: in both cases, the tuned RAM outputs more than 30 frames per second consistently, almost during every frame.

Of course, we should add that the Nintendo Switch's cooling system was not designed so that the memory operates at such a high clock speed, that more heat will be generated during intended use and the portable device may overheat. Hopefully, the successor, which is still based on NVIDIA technology and has not yet been officially announced (it is not certain that it will be called Switch 2), will not face such problems; Therefore, better performance of the T239 chip means a more stable frame rate and higher resolution.

Wondering when Nintendo will reveal the new device?
