Someone modded 8GBs of RAM onto their Switch oled, and then unlocked the resolution in Zelda to 4k, it wasn't playable but it was still impressive it ran at all

@julianalarcon8172 Күн бұрын

En primer lugar el SO de la Nintendo Switch no va a reconocer más de 4gb por más que le pongas más, y segundo para correr un juego a 4k no se necesita únicamente RAM, se necesita potencia que es lo que la consola no tiene

Taki, thank you for providing proper captions with your videos. It's an often overlooked accessibility feature, and I appreciate it because I personally like watching without sound sometimes. This also helps lots of people who have lesser hearing or issues with auditory processing. Very fascinating to see this little system output such resolutions, too.

There was another KZfaqr who made a 3D printed docked switch pro. That stayed in docked mode by removing the screen, added a Noctua fan and over clocked without unlocking. I think if you made that 3D printed case with cooling you might be able get a few more percents better on your testing.

3:20 and this is where the Switch lite excels. While it cant clock as high as the v2/oled, the Oled has a NERF'D FAN ( Which no one ever talks about ) which has seen an abundance of switch HW being fried. The V1 switch OC numbers are also considered safe when applied to the switch lite, but can be a problem on other v1 HW.

That screen tearing may be an Nvidia issue. On Linux, the new display system Wayland has tearing issue with Nvidia due to Nvidia not having their drivers fully up to date for it. (The fixes to solve the issue have been pushed back 4 times now but SHOULD be there in driver 560 at the latest). If the Switch was an AMD GPU this tearing may not happen as on Wayland compositors by default there is always v-sync all the time on everything. Now if the Switch Linux is rendering with the old Xorg/X11 system this is not applicable

As someone who has been really going down the research rabbit hole of getting an arm laptop for everyday linux use, this video was eye opening in a whole different way. Would there be any chance of a similar emulation style showcase on the pinebook pro or even a previous gen snapdragon 8cx? While not the intention of your video, if the switch can pump out this much power It makes me more optimistic for trying to make the change to an arm based computer.

The fact that you can do lighter games at all at 4k is amazing.
