People hook up their Switch to their 4k TVs all the time. Whatever upscaling trick the Switch can use to get acceptable graphics the Switch can use.
Perhaps Intel's 2015 iGPU (the one tested here) isn't good enough to render games I comparable quality at 1080p, but after eight years Intel has made some advancements too.
Integrated graphics should be more than enough these days, but very few people bother to optimise for them the way they do for the Switch. It makes sense, in a way; you can't tell Switch owners their mid tier GPU us insufficient, but in the PC world you're expected to buy a dedicated GPU if you want to play anything more complex than Candy Crush.
Perhaps with Intel entering the dedicated GPU market, we'll see more games optimised for Intel, so integrated GPUs can run games better.
- msh 3y agoIntegrated amd gpu's have always gamed decently.
- pixelatedindex 3y agoI think it has got something to do with how easy it is to render Switch games. Steam Deck that uses AMD GPUs have to contend with rendering a much wider array of games, and they don’t have as much control of games as Nintendo does.
- baq 3y agoI bet if Switch games were made exclusively targeting Skylake iGPU they’d run as well or better than on the Switch with its gimped Tegra.
- bitwize 3y agoIt's an upscaling trick of the TV. The Switch pushes out 720p max.
- msk-lywenn 3y ago1080p max. Source: I released pawarumi at that resolution on it.
- opan 3y ago1600x900 handheld, 1920x1080 docked.
- 3836293648 3y agoActually there are games that run at 1080p in handheld. Even stupider than 900p given that the screen is only 720p
- mschuster91 3y ago> Even stupider than 900p given that the screen is only 720p Rendering and then downscaling produces better render quality in total (e.g. aliasing).
- 3836293648 3y agoDefinitely, but not on a 7 inch tablet from 900 to 720. It's just a waste of battery
