so /v/, serious question, is there anything keeping Nintendo/ Nvidia from releasing a Dock with an extra Tegra chip in it and then work in some sort of SLI configuration???
>>
Just buy 2 Switches fampai.
>>
No but SLI is deprecated and never worked properly even when it wasn't
>>
Nobody would buy it because it's a retarded idea.
>>
>>382890735
Yes, that's true but in a console hardware theres a better chance that developers will optimize SLI in the switch compared to a pc
>>
>>382890631
USB-C bus limitations.
SLI only gives like a 30-50% power increase too.
>>
>>382891182
im not saying it need to become 4K native 120 HZ, but hey, a little extra juice hurts no body
except Nintendo when they invest on it, release it, and 3rd party will still give em the cold shoulder cause Nintendo dont suck their dick nor 3rd party wants to compete with Nintendo
>>
>>382890631
SLI is old tech and was always kind of dodgy
>>
>>382890631
SLI means that devs (including Nintendo) have to spend extra time optimizing their games for it. Which leads to game release delays (people already complain that games take too long to release).

Nintendo doesn't give two shits about hardware power, they only make hardware so people are forced to buy it to play Nintendo licensed games. If suddenly Nintendo started charging an extra $100 to play the new Xenoblade or Pokémon properly like how Sega started charging $200 to genesis owners to play Sonic CD then people would be rioting.
>>
>>382890631
Im almost positive that the Tegra chips don't support SLI. Also, Tegras aren't GPUs, they are APUs.
>>
>>382891335
If they want extra juice then they should make a "new" Nintendo Switch like they made a "new" Nintendo 3DS with better hardware.
>>
>>382890631
It would have to communicate with the main unit over usb-C, severely reducing its utility and making it a really stupid idea.
>>
>>382890631
What the dock should be doing is adding more cooling, the fact that it isn't is a joke
>>
>>382891595
You mean like they did with the NEW Nintendo 3ds?
>>
>>382891906
thats not how it works this time. thre is not tech to allow a better Switch without killing battery time/ increasing the size/ making the thing the new Galaxy S7
>>
>>382892020
The thing is that only 1 game required the New 3DS and it was a Wii port.

Now if Nintendo suddenly made the new Pokémon and Xenoblade 2 "NEW" Switch exclusive people would be mad as fuck that they wasted money on a scalped console.
>>
>>382892071
Give it five years and there will be a faster and more energy efficient tegra chip.
>>
>>382890631
>is there anything keeping Nintendo/ Nvidia from releasing a Dock with an extra Tegra chip in it and then work in some sort of SLI configuration
The fact that the Switch doesn't have Thunderbolt support.
>>
>>382890631
Because it's just USB Type-C, not Thunderbolt. Yes, they share the same connector just like old Thunderbolt and Mini DisplayPort, but they aren't the same. Also, Intel would never allow it.
