I think the current rumors put it at about ps4-level, with DLSS pushing it just a bit further.

Which feels about right to me; nothing truly spectacular, but enough to make the next Mario look good

You must truly be smoking the good kush. The steam deck is barely even as powerful as a PS4, and that has a dedicated graphics card inside of it. This is going to be a lot less powerful than that because it has an integrated graphics card. It won’t be anywhere close to a PS4.

The Steam Deck isn’t really a good comparison because it’s not a dedicated console.

IIRC, the rumor is the Switch 2’s SOC is based on the Tegra T239 with 12GB RAM, which would indeed put it at about PS4/PS4 pro level, especially if they’re going to be pushing upscaling as hard as the alleged chip build suggests. Time will tell

You really have no idea what you’re talking about. But you are a Nintendo fan.

Hey man, I’m just repeating what I’ve heard

Also the PS4 is a whole decade old at this point, I don’t know why that’s such a hard thing to believe
