The source said that Nintendo Switch 2 supports Nvidia DLSS 3.5 ray reconstruction technology, but does not support frame generation.
CTOnews.com October 19, Nvidia announced the launch of NVIDIA DLSS 3.5 in August this year. It uses light reconstruction technology, a new AI model that creates higher quality ray tracing images for intensive ray tracing games and applications, all of which will be supported by "mind Killer 2", "Cyber punk 2077: shadow of the past" and "Portal RTX".
YouTuber @ Nate the Hate got some new information from insiders. It is said that Switch 2 (unnamed), which Nintendo is developing, will also support NVIDIA DLSS 3.5, which even has more potential than PS5 and Xbox Series X | S in ray tracing.
Of course, the effect of ray tracing depends largely on the noise reducer used by game developers, so the actual effect of each game may be different, but it can be iterated through firmware updates.
About Nintendo Switch 2 Magi Nate the Hate also said that it is not expected to support frame generation technology, but he believes that the console is very futuristic, and both Nintendo and NVIDIA are trying to make it as advanced as possible in mobile technology and have the features that best suit the system.
Although Nate the Hate has disclosed accurate information many times before, we have reservations about today's content.
However, given the reports that the Matrix Awakens Unreal Engine 5 Demo works well on the host, we believe that the new machine is indeed likely to support ray tracing technology, but there are doubts about its function.
According to @ SoldierDelta, Nintendo Switch 2 (internal development code NG) is scheduled to be released on September 24 or November 3, 2024.
It is said that Nintendo Switch 2 will launch in two models, a cassette version for $449 (CTOnews.com Note: currently about 3282 yuan) and a digital version for about $400 (currently about 2924 yuan).
Considering that the price is much higher than the current Switch and Swith OLED, the new LCD can be said to be reasonable if it has features such as ray tracing.
