The ninth generation console wars are in full swing. While Sony’s PlayStation 5 is leading the pack, Microsoft’s Xbox Series S and X are trying to catch up. However, the competition is about to get even fiercer. Nintendo, which broke sales records with its Switch in 2017, is counting down the days to the launch of the Switch 2. As new information about the highly anticipated handheld emerges almost every day, the latest one has sparked excitement. According to rumors, the Switch 2 is rumored to have more RAM than the Xbox Series S. Here are the details…
Nintendo Switch 2 to Challenge Xbox Series S/X and PlayStation 5 with More RAM and DLSS Support
As Gizmochina editors, we continue to follow the latest developments on the Nintendo Switch 2. As you know, we recently told you that the upcoming handheld was shown at a private event at Gamescom 2023 with a limited number of people, and that its release date is imminent. Now, a leakster has leaked the amount of RAM in the device.
According to rumors, Nintendo Switch 2‘s consumer versions will have 12 GB of RAM. This represents a 300% increase over the 4 GB RAM in the current version. However, this is not the most interesting thing. As mentioned above, the Switch 2 has three very powerful competitors. However, it appears that these competitors are not as powerful as Nintendo’s handheld. To put this into context, the PS5 and Microsoft Xbox Series X both have 16 GB of RAM, while the Xbox Series S only has 10 GB.
In addition to the 12 GB of RAM, Nintendo has another surprise in store for its next-generation handheld. The company has a solution that will enable the Switch 2 to keep up with the latest technologies and eliminate the increasing hardware requirements. According to the same source, the Switch 2 will support Nvidia’s DLSS technology. In fact, it will be DLSS 3.1, which was recently announced and is only supported by the RTX 40 series graphics cards.
For those who don’t know, DLSS is an upscaling technique that uses artificial intelligence to improve the image quality of games. It works by using a neural network to learn how to upscale low-resolution images to a higher resolution, resulting in a sharper and more detailed image without the need for a more powerful graphics card. Simply put, it helps you get a smoother experience in areas where your graphics card falls short by increasing your gaming performance with the help of artificial intelligence.
Unfortunately, we have no other choice but to wait for the Nintendo Switch 2 to be announced to see if these claims are true.
