Swap 2 will not assist Variable Refresh Fee (VRR) on TVs in any case, regardless of Nintendo beforehand suggesting it might.
The Mario maker as we speak set the file straight in a remark to Nintendo Life, acknowledging that VRR would solely be out there when taking part in Swap 2 in handheld mode.
An earlier, now-removed assertion on Nintendo’s web site had not made that distinction, and recommended VRR whereas docked would even be potential.
“Nintendo Swap 2 helps VRR in handheld mode solely. The wrong data was initially printed on the Nintendo Swap 2 web site, and we apologise for the error,” Nintendo stated as we speak.
When Nintendo Life probed additional on the likelihood that Swap 2 VRR assist whereas docked could be added in a future system replace, Nintendo stated it had “nothing to announce” in the mean time.
At this time marks the primary time Nintendo has acknowledged this formally, simply days after Digital Foundry reported the shortage of docked VRR assist in its complete Swap 2 remaining tech specs report simply days in the past.
“One thing that’s vital to make clear is that so far as Swap 2 builders are involved, VRR is certainly a perform of the inner show solely and that there isn’t any assist in any respect proper now for VRR over HDMI,” Digital Foundry boss Richard Leadbetter wrote.
“The most effective concept we’ve for that is that the dock’s DisplayPort to HDMI converter would not assist normal HDMI VRR, however no matter is the trigger, we’d hope to see Nintendo present some kind of answer sooner or later.”
Nintendo is prone to turn out to be the “main accomplice for third-party sport publishers” over the subsequent console era, a number one analyst agency forecasted yesterday, as reported by Eurogamer, with Swap 2 anticipated to promote 100m in 5 years.
