Although it's been more than seven and a half years since the Nintendo Switch first hit stores in March 2017, this platform can also be enhanced with a little tuning.
Let's not forget that the Switch wasn't a very powerful platform even when it was released, but Nvidia's chip, the Tegra X1, can gain a good foothold with a little tuning. This is also proven by the video embedded below: The benchmark results are very good, and even the Dolphin emulator can run, so GameCube and Wii games can also be played on Switch thanks to the higher clock rates.
The video's creator, Naga, tested the platform on L4T Ubuntu, so Membench, Cuda95 and Geekbench 6 showed good results, and it's amazing to see that Mario Kart Wii isn't stuttering, but is fully playable at 1080p thanks to the adjustment. This is not the first time we have seen what the Nintendo Switch can do when the Japanese company's devices do not run on factory clocks. There have been instances where a tuned Switch with 8GB of RAM could play The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom at frame rates of over 60fps at native resolution (1080p), and even at 1440p at 30fps In the second he is able to
If the rumors about the yet-to-be-announced Switch successor are true, existing games will run with good image quality and performance on the Switch 2 (not an official name…), which will have 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM, and at least the Xbox Series We can expect better texture quality than the S. In addition, Nvidia DLSS will also be supported, so an upgrade from the Tegra T239 chip will not be ruled out.
Nintendo's next-gen console will be released sometime in 2025. Maybe in the first quarter (January-March), maybe in the second quarter (April-June), and maybe a little later (this could happen too).
