Nintendo switch: more data on the performance of your gpu

We come back with new information about the Nintendo Switch, this time it is data about the working frequency of its graphics processor so we can get an idea of ​​where the shots are going to go in terms of performance.

Nintendo Switch will work at a higher frequency next to its dock

The Eurogamer media claims to have new information about the dock that the Nintendo Switch will include to turn it into a desktop video game console. As previously thought, this accessory increases the power available to your Nvidia Tegra processor so you can improve console performance by boosting your working frequencies. The Nintendo Switch in its portable mode sees how the GPU works at a frequency of 307 MHz while using it together with its dock the frequency increases to 768 MHz.

The rumors suggest that the processor will be an Nvidia Tegra X1 so we would be facing a GPU with Maxwell architecture and a total of 256 oveners. In its portable mode it would offer a performance similar to that of the WiiU while when used with the dock the performance increases significantly. With this, it makes a lot of sense to have included a screen with a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels, a choice that will allow you to maintain the same graphic detail and the same framerate as when used together with the dock, in which case it would work at 1920 x 1080 pixels.

The information also refers to the video output of the console, there is talk of an HDMI 2.0 port that can offer video at 4K and 30 FPS, perhaps Nintendo has included a rescaling chip to increase the resolution of the console. Finally, it is said that the GPU is compatible with the low-level APIs Vulkan, OpenGL 4.5 and OpenGL ES, something that was already to be expected when dealing with a Maxwell architecture.
