Why can't Doom be 4k native?

Because specs plus ARM. There is no reason for games on Nintendo Switch to run at native 4k dude. Just open your eyes and see that PS5 and Series X are struggling to get 4k.

Just back to reality and you guys will see there is nothing wrong with reaching 4k via uspcalers. DLSS proved to be the best tech on the market, if Nintendo Switch sucessor get will be no need to games for running at native 4k, period. You can save a load of resouces for others things.

How the Switch 2 specs prevent "1993" Doom from running at 4k??

OG Doom.

And why OG Doom when ND studios already converted the Doom to Kex Engine?

Are you guys want one or two games running at native 4k or something?

edit: I do think original Doom can run at native 4k, but I don't think if is worth.

I don’t think anyone was expecting render/dlss at 4k, it won’t hit it for anything but less graphic intensive titles. But at least we are out of the 1080p era and now it will upscale to 4k. Hopefully HDR and VRR are in there. Anything else is bonus.

It had a HDMI 2.1-compliant port that could output a video signal at that native resolution, even if they removed the branding and no games used it.

My point being, of course the Switch 2 will support 4K as an output resolution, but most AAA games will be running below it and upscaling up.

Titanic was called the Ship of Dreams, and it was. It really was.
Maybe it's not for the Switch 2.

I really don't think it will do 4K.

a steam deck can output to a tv in 4k. :messenger_dizzy:





also pc handhelds don.t have nvdia gpus yet.

Yes output. The frame rates are rough, like what specs the NS2 would require to stay competent enough for a whole generation? Unless the dock also provides extra gpu power like the ROG XG Mobile but that's out of the equation. I don't see Nintendo doing this. The Steam Deck OLED is 200$ more expensive than the OLED NS, excluding the 100$ dock. I'd be very surprised if Nintendo be selling a console higher than a handheld gaming pc.

This is a 👏🏻 Hand 👏🏻 Held device aimed at a casual market with a price and tech specs that matches. It ain't a PS5, it ain't a PS4 Pro. Adjust your expectations, this thing will not run much beyond The Touryst at 4K native, which is fine because DLSS.

But technically it could run a game in 4k. It's just a dumb comment to say about something we know nothing about and comes off sounding more scared than anything.

GuyA:" hey Nintendo is putting out a new gaming device but we know next to nothing about it. . "

Weirdo: " it won't do 4k ever!!"

If it technically can run tons of games at 4k there is nothing preventing Nintendo to allow this.

I'd love Nintendo to go all in. Get some of the world's best engineers and give us a handheld that can play current gen games at 4K/60.

Throw in a 14inch OLED display and a 5TB of storage.

Make it a worthwhile upgrade.

Ally X can legitimately run at 2160p120hz+VRR+HDR on an external display no issues. Deck is more iffy for me. Go has an internal screen at 1600p which is higher res than most current gen games run.

PC handhelds have it good. The great thing about 2160p and 1600p is they scale absolutely perfectly from 1080p and 800p, while providing much, much sharper UI/text than those resolutions would (say compared to 800/720p on the Deck/Switch 1).

I really have no clue what res the Switch 2 will be for internal/external connections. But I would not be surprised if you could run it at 4k externally and it looked great.

Reading the post, he never actually says anything about 4K, just mesh shaders.

As for said Mesh shaders, The pipeline for them was introduced in the Turing (RTX2000) chipset, so makes sense that Ampere would also support it.

technically it could run a game at 24k--internal resolutions can be largely arbitrary and then scaled to the output resolution.
but brah just face it, switch2 aint doing native 4k except for pong and crap.

hardware will be the equivalent of three potatoes and a cranberry.
