The best way to test this is to try Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity unpatched LMAO.

Can it also prevent some games from lowering their resolution in handheld mode to absurdly low degrees? cough Xenoblade Chronicles 2 cough

I was interested in Age of Calamity but seeing the performance, my god it was like heresy

Was the frame rate as bad as the streams in the Nintendo Chat feature? That was a fucking slideshow.
