The Nintendo Switch Pro has yet to be officially announced, but a new rumor that started circulating online revealed some new details about its potential specs, docked and handheld performance, and more.
According to this new rumor coming from Taiwan, as reported on the ResetERA Forums, the GPU of the new Nintendo console will be clocked at nearly 1 GHz in docked mode and 768 MHz in handheld mode. As such, in handheld mode, the console could push up to 120 FPS at 720p, but it looks like Nintendo will boost performance at 60 FPS, 720p resolution. On the other hand, performance in the dock is optimized for a resolution of 1440p.
The new rumor also touches on the implementation of NVIDIA DLSS technology in the new Nintendo Switch Pro. According to the leaker, the technology has indeed been implemented in the console, only it may only be available in docked mode or may even be blocked at launch due to some unspecified issues.
