NVIDIA recently detailed their role in crafting a bespoke processor for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2, boasting an impressive claim that the new console offers graphics capabilities ten times greater than the original Switch.
Central to this upgrade is an NVIDIA GPU complete with dedicated RT Cores and Tensor Cores, which promise to deliver breathtaking visuals and intelligent enhancements. These Tensor Cores are designed to enhance graphics powered by AI while maintaining energy efficiency, while the RT Cores are focused on bringing realism through dynamic lighting and natural reflections in games.
In Handheld Mode, players can expect a seamless, interruption-free gaming experience. This is made possible by NVIDIA G-SYNC technology, which allows for a variable refresh rate.
According to a recent blog post from the company, the development of the Nintendo Switch 2 involved a staggering “1,000 engineer-years” of effort, covering all aspects from system and chip design to crafting a unique GPU, APIs, and top-tier development tools. The blog described the Switch 2 as offering significant improvements, including 4K gaming capability in TV mode and the ability to hit 120 frames per second at 1080p when in handheld mode. Additionally, it supports high dynamic range and AI upscaling, which sharpen visuals and ensure silky smooth gameplay.
NVIDIA elaborated further, emphasizing the impact of the new RT Cores. These innovations enable real-time ray tracing, which delivers more immersive experiences with true-to-life lighting and shadows. As for the Tensor Cores, they enhance AI-driven features like Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS), which boosts resolution for clearer detail without compromising image clarity. The Tensor Cores also support AI-driven functionalities such as face tracking and background removal during video chats, making social gaming and streaming even more engaging.
The highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 is set to hit stores globally on June 5, 2025, with a price tag of £395.99 ($449.99).
