So it turns out the "Switch Pro" was actually the OLED Switch all along... Nintendo just didn't turn on the 4K output so that they can sell the Switch 2 when it finally comes out
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.
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
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
@Hazeman.the thing is, it would make a lot more heat and drain battery way too fast… I still think they should’ve made a docked only high performance version, I play mainly handheld though so it wouldn’t matter to me as much
There was another RUclipsr 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.
@@ThatIceChampion well they don't make full games anymore they just spend all the power on making a higher resolution and more frames instead of adding more to the ambience. So yes it bothers me
You never liked the switch!? Really? The switch is the greatest thing to ever grace gaming for the past 7 years 😂. It inspired the steam deck and other pc Handhelds. Even trash box is trying to release their own version of the switch! man, u live under a rock 😂
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.
@@MrRocking145 Yup, I was one of the first 3 people online to completely fry his OLED! lol. With the switch lite, Ive played totk at 60fps clocked at the safe OC for hours on end without frying anything!!
Never thought a projector could be an option for gaming, especially in 4K! The picture is just mind-blowing. must be awesome upgrade from the 6 inches screen to a projected screen
the OLED Switch having more DP lanes connected together with the dock being more capable points very much at it actually being developed from the rumoured „Switch Pro“
First time here and it's so cool how you play around and explore the limits of the devices! But I'm surprised how no one is talking about how good the games look on the projector. The picture is so crisp.
I know, right? I kinda assumed that most of it was direct capture with a Y splitter, but then this output pop-up appeared on the top left and it hit me..
That's crazy. Amazing work you did in this video, and I loved every bit of it. Sad though, that after the hundreds of hours you dedicated to it, my favorite part is the cat :)
I actually kinda appreciate Nintendo a bit knowing they still hold true to their original Gameboy era 'Lateral thinking with withered technology' maxim.
Such high-quality productions here, dude. I've taken inspiration to apply that to my new business, gotta present stuff at a high level to really sell it. Thank you.
Don't know if you have seen it, but there was a guy who soldered 8GB of ram to his OLED Switch, search it up, he had videos of him testing games with it, but he deleted them for some reason, but the videos where he does the thing are still up (i think his channel is called naga)
I think the Switch might be the world's first console capable of emulating itself. This hackery reminds me of Bleem!, the commercial PlayStation emulator for the Dreamcast.
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
I think there should be a SteamOS- Like front end OS based on linux for modded switches that plays Switch games sort of like how the original xbox could install linux dashboards and still play the games.
First of all, thank you for your great video, it would have be nice if you tried using frame generation tools such as lossless scaler etc.. might be worth looking at in another video
I am genuinely blown away by how well Linux games run on the Switch. Usually putting an operating system on top of consoles like this doesn't end well to say the least. The fact that you can do lighter games at all at 4k is amazing. Makes me wonder if they did have some internal plans to support 4k resolutions on at least the OLED switch that fell through once they started on the Switch 2.
3:20 and with these stats.. Battery life and heat would be the two main factors.. Build a shell for the switch that will channel the heat out of the switch snd allow for a bigger battery.
i remember playing botw on cemu and thinking... man, in about 5 years, nintendo is going to release NXext and that... that is going to be able to play this game in 4k/60. as it stands now, 5k/120fps breath of the wild on my PC is still the best i've ever had :)
This video just shows how underrated switch hardware is. I understand that Nintendo puts a little bit of limitation on the hardware so the console doesn't burn down, but damn, it's just too much underclock (even in docked mode)... It's disgusting how some switch games run horrible at low resolutions knowing that the hardware could actually do much more. Hope that for switch 2 this isn't like that...
Really hope Nintendo doesn't nerf the shit out of the switch 2... 4K TOTK running at all on an emulated switch on a real switch is impressive, considering the "actual" performance on base HW is less than perfect
For some strange reason i still Love the switch even though I own many other handhelds (3ds,psvita,anbernic,steam deck etc)..... Awaiting the lite oled mod
Oh my god , you read my mind. I was super interested in the overclock feature of the switch lite from the previous video and planning on overclock mine tommorrow but still can get any guide on doing so. Perfect timing lol
16:34 correction ships port does not run at 60fps but 20fps and used interpretation to make it feel like 60 FPS but it’s not true 60 FPS and it’s very easy to tell. If you want 60 FPS. Use open ocarina of time it has up to 120 FPS and it’s more accurate and it looks better overall.
Do you have a screen mod in your V1? At around 3:36 you're talking about your V1 Switch docked and outputting to an external screen, but it looks as though you're using an OLED with your V1-mod joycons attached. Have I misunderstood? My wife is using my V1 at the moment so I'd love to know if there's a better screen I can install for her.
I always found it strange that the switch didnt Output 4K when the ShieldTV did. I dont need 4K Games but a better upscaling then the tv itself would be nice so why not Output in 4K? Also like a few 2D Games could have been in 4K. Strange choice I never understood
It's a very Nintendo thing to do I really hope they didn't cut any corners for the Switch 2, at least not where it counts. I fully expect 4k HDR, i would be so disappointed if that's not actually the case. And for handheld 1080p or a *good* 90hz oled in a lower res, like the steam deck
@zaptheporcupine1578 Yeah indeed. 4K HDR would be no problem. The Tegra X1 was a Maxwell based GPU and these had performance issues when outputting in HDR, newer architectures doesnt have this issue, so there is no difference between SDR and HDR. For me I hope Nintendo finally adds a proper Surround Codec. LPCM ist fine and actually super clean because in its nature its uncompressed but its so annoying to get working because most TVs arent passing this through so you have to plug in the Switch directly to the soundbar or av which cant introduce some delay and ist guaranteed that LPCM is accepted. So please use Dolby or DTS this time Nintendo
I mean this to me is a sign that the next Switch should be capable of all of this with ease and maintain good battery life when undocked. I assume it will upscale when docked only just like this example. I am excited for the future.
This man right here puts out the best conent we wanted to see ref the switch! Man i can't imagine the lenghts you had to go through to put this video together and answer all those questions. I own a ps5, steam deck, and switch, but i must admit i am impressed with switch's performance. I wonder if my s24u could beat it in actuality with sd8gen3 🤔
This does make me believe the rumors that the oled was supposed to be more than just a screen upgrade. But supply chain issues led them to abandon that.
I literally thought this was the rumored Switch 2. I'm still anxious that Ninetendoe would pull this out. We know that the company can produce exceptional hardware. It's like they're holding back and taking the safe route just to not have the mishap that Samsung had with the first Note phones
I think we can assume the switch 1 OLED is capable of running a majority of the upcoming switch 2 games, but it won't be native. Switch 1 emulating switch 2 games in 4k. Can't wait.

i feel like people really over state something lookig bad with low poly low textures, i prefer stuff like ds and ps1 at my monitors full resolution
Fun fact: the Tegra X1 was doing 4K before the Switch was released. It would have been interesting to see the Nvidia Shield thrown into your mix.

4k is not a big deal to output. Just depends on the actual content.
I had the same question. Especially considering I have an old Shield tv I don't use anymore.
Which makes this hurt a lot more...
Still can't wait for the switch lite oled mod
Just buy the Switch oled version and pull out the oled screen and replace the screen on your switch lite.
@@caspicewrong, the screen is too big for the lite
@@berniethebro Then use the lite in the oled version.
@@caspice there’s no OLED version of the light
