It's smart to keep it at 720.  At 7 inches a 1080 p resolution is wasted.  It would be an unecessary power draw

I super hope it’s named Super Nintendo Switch and comes with matching Special edition to look like a SNES.

it's over at this point. switch has surpassed SNES, PS2, anything you can name. best system ever made bar none.

I wish it could be a 1080p screen, but they probably want to intentionally keep it at 720p to keep its GPU downclocked to save battery when its being used as a handheld.

 

Who knows, maybe it uses DLSS in that mode to create a higher-than-720p resoution and then downsample from there to help improve image quality.
 

Also, if the GPU is clocked to 720p in handheld mode, when it gets docked, they'd probably double the clock and make it run at 1440p, which the rumor was that it would run at 1440p and then use DLSS to scale it to 4K when docked.

 

Why wouldn't they use DLSS when its running in 720p mode?

[jehurey 3,222]

if the rumor is true that the Switch Pro in docked mode would do 1440p and then use DLSS to create a 4K image, that's using DLSS to scale the image by 2.25x

 

If you take a 720p render and scale it by 2.25x, that's the same amount of pixels for a 1080p image.

 

I imagine if nVidia already has the tensor cores on the Ampere GPU inside the handheld, why not use them? Use DLSS to make a 1080p image and then downscale to 720p to help with image quality when viewing the game on the screen. This is, assuming, that it doesn't come with any additional penalty in power consumption.

That's not how this works moron. It's getting 4K OUTPUT support.

OLED means better battery life and a better display all around.  

 

This is a mid gen refresh for the Switch, AKA a pro model and not the Super Nintendo Switch. 

 

Devs kits are already in the wild.

So essentially the equivalent of the New 3DS model.

hopefully there's a damned all-white model finally. Switch lite colors were wonky as hell.

I'd probably get one if it doesn't look like a kiddy toy

And then hack it to play free kidtendo games because lostfool would like it 🙃
