Strong graphic card and MAAADDDDDDDD expensive!! At least for now. I wonder if Sony decides to use Nvidia for their Playstation4 GPU, would it be a customized version of THIS GTX-480 SLI card? And also I HOPE sony decides to use IBM's new Power7 multicore as it's CPU, Just imagine, With these 2 chips working together...MAN, Now that's POWER!!! John Carmack & Gabe Newell would both cum on themselves at this combination.

NVIDIA Smooth Motion: Up to 70% More FPS Using Driver Level Frame Gen on RTX 50 GPUs

NVIDIA’s RTX 50 “Blackwell” architecture has been a bit of a bore for us gamers. Apart from Multi Frame Generation, which has limited use-case scenarios, there isn’t much to be excited about. It is achieved using GPU-side Flip Metering. The optical field data is generated using AI models in the Tensor cores.

The raytracing probably doesn't even equal a low end PC GPU, even if it did it would probably be mostly useless. They'll probably force it in some game now that will run like shit maybe 30fps at best, just because "it can do it"

B5R85d ago

Raytracing is so unnecessary for a handheld. I just hope you can turn it off.

Vits85d ago

A lot of gamers don’t realize that ray tracing isn’t really about making games look better. It’s mainly there to make development easier and cheaper, since it lets devs skip a bunch of old-school tricks to fake reflections and lighting. The visual upgrade is just a nice bonus, but that’s not the main reason the tech exists.

So you can be 100% sure that developers will try to implement it every chance they get.

RaidenBlack85d ago (Edited 85d ago )

Agree with Vits .... but also to add, if devs and designers just implement RT to a game world then it won't always work as expected. RT is not just reflections but also lighting and illumination as well. For example, If you just create a room with minimal windows, then it will look dark af, if RTGI is enabled. Devs and designers needs to sort out the game world design accordingly as well.
DF's Metro Exodus RT upgrade is an amazing reference video to go through, if anybody's interested.

darthv7285d ago

So is HDR... but they have it anyway.

thesoftware73085d ago

Some PS5 and SX games run at 30fps with RT...just like those systems, if you don't like it, turn it off.

I only say this to say, you make it seem like a problem exclusive to the Switch 2.

Neonridr85d ago (Edited 85d ago )

sour grapes much?

"It probably doesn't do it well because it's Nintendo and they suck". That's how your comment reads. Why don't you just wait and see before making these ridiculous statements?

Goodguy0186d ago

Please. I'd like to play my switch games on my 4k tv without it looking all doodoo.

PRIMORDUS85d ago

Nvidia could have said this months ago and cut the bullshit. Anyway the rumors were true.

Profchaos85d ago

Would have been nice but NDA likely prevented them from saying anything

PRIMORDUS85d ago

TBH I don't think Nvidia would have cared if they broke the NDA. A little fine they pay, and they go back to their AI shit. They don't even care about GPU's anymore. I myself would like them to leave the PC and console market.

Tacoboto85d ago

This story was written half a decade ago when the world knew Nvidia would provide the chip for Switch 2 and DLSS was taking off.

Profchaos85d ago

Yeah but similar thing happened a long time ago when 3dfx announced they were working with Sega when they took the company public Sega pulled out of the contract for the Dreamcast GPU.

In response Sega terminated the contract and went to a ultimately weaker chipset.

So there's a precedent but that Nintendo would have much Of an option its AMD, NVIDIA or Intel

Profchaos85d ago

I'm not expecting of anything from ray tracing but dlss will be the thing that sees the unit get some impossible ports.

andy8585d ago

Correct. All I'm seeing online is it'll never run FF7 Rebirth. If it can run cyberpunk it'll run it. The DLSS will help. Obviously only 30 fps but a lot don't care

Profchaos85d ago (Edited 85d ago )

Exactly right when I buy a game on switch I know what I'm getting into I'm buying a game for its portability and I'm willing to sacrifice fidelity and performance to play on a train or comfortably from a hotel room when I travel for work.
