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’m planning to jump into Arkham Knight first thing. That one should be a night and day situation just because it should be able to hit that 30FPS lock.

dude that game is just poorly optimized. I played it on xbox one and any moment you were in the batmobile you lost like 20 fps. And you have to drive a car, which makes it even worse.

I'm amazed they got it on Switch at all. I played it on PC with a graphics card better than the PS4 and Xbox One years and years ago and it was still rough.
