The same source has also offered an update in regard to the Switch 2’s potential DLSS support and ray-tracing capabilities.

    arguably RAM matters the most

    gpu and cpu you can just downgrade the quality, but at a certain point everything has to fit into memory

    e.g., baldur’s gate 3 literally couldn’t be properly ported to the S because of a RAM limitation

      Oh shit, really? Wasn’t even aware of that lol, I always had the generally recommended amount of RAM in my gaming rig so I never thought that would be a thing.

        There is a point where more ram doesnt help and maybe that’s what you are thinking of. It’s more “must be this tall to ride” from my understanding

      Also, textures, usually they don’t really cost performance and absolutely change the visuals of a game, but can be massively limited by a lack of ram
