Nintendo hasn’t revealed the full Switch 2 specs, but Nvidia is providing a few more details about the power of this new console.

So far, the PC handheld market has mostly gone the way of AMD, and the chipsets have been strong parts for making these work. The custom silicon in Steam Deck is still capable of some magic, and the more recent Z2 APU is looking destined for great things.

Nintendo Switch 2 developers discuss the hardware capabilities of the new console and what tools developers have at their disposal.

The Nintendo Switch 2 is powered by an NVIDIA processor, and the chipmaker has revealed more details about this hardware.

The Nintendo Switch 2 will support a new type of microSD card that is far faster than its predecessor, but this feature comes with a major catch.

The other major Nvidia technology supported by the new Switch is G-Sync, which prevents screen tearing when games are running at variable frame rates. Nvidia notes that G-Sync is only supported in handheld mode and not in docked mode, which could be a limitation of the Switch dock's HDMI port.

In a new post, NVIDIA also revealed that the GPU will help the Nintendo Switch 2 deliver current-gen features like real-time ray tracing, and that the console itself has “10x the graphics performance” of the Nintendo Switch.

Elden Ring, Hogwarts Legacy, Split Fiction — these are just a few of the titles announced to be coming to the Nintendo Switch 2. Thanks to the console's improved hardware, loads of games that have been stranded on other platforms are now making their way to the Switch 2, and many will be available the day the console drops.

Talking DLSS, the Nintendo handhelds that inspired them and the impact Satoru Iwata's legacy had on the new console.
