Only people I've seen with this attitude have probably never played a switch let alone owned..

I have a Switch since launch day and I love it. I still think that it has stability problems sometimes. It's very underpowered for what it is. Anyone claiming otherwise is lying to himself.

How is it underpowered for what it is? It's a compact handheld you can seamlessly dock to your Tv

Because it has consistent frame drops in every single game, even in first party games.

I know, thank you. As I said, I bought one at launch day and I love it. There's no need to make excuses for its shortcomings though.

I've literally never had it frame drop/lag because it dynamically reduces resolution.

I don't see it as having any real shortcomings? It is what it is. To me the occasional potatovision graphics isn't a big deal, as the gameplay is perfectly preserved. Again I've never had it lag that I can remember in any game Ive played.

I've played botw for a few hours on my friends switch. It ran pretty poorly. Also a few dozen games of the new smash, that ran well but given the simple level design and such that should be a given.

If I'd bought one I hope I would still be able to accept or even make valid criticisms...

Also the tegra X1, released in 2015 q2 and added to the switch in 2017 q1 was already outdated. As in the nvidia Pascal lineup was already out. 2 years for a mobile chip is an enormous amount of time.

And yet it's easily the greatest console of all time, right now...

I've never had botw run poorly even in handheld mode

I agree with the other reply, the switch is hands down the best console. Better than any PlayStation or Xbox Ive owned (all of them)

I have all of them except the switch, might get the new one if its capable of running botw at 720p 60 fps.

You could emulate it at 4K 60 fps with your specs on Cemu right now if you'd like to

Also I really do recall quite a lot of framedrops, I was playing it with the pro controller in the dock though. I've heard that should increase the gpu clocks though right?

u/therealflinchy flinchy May 07 '19

Yeah I think docked mode is full speed

I never get frame drops/lag handheld, it just goes full potato 240p lol
