What about save data The latest switch firmware allows transfer of all saves, accounts, etc from one system to another. The only thing you have to do again is redownload digital purchases from the eShop but if i give my Switch to Gamestop in order to acquire a new model how can i transfer data from the model i traded in onto my new one? --- Playing: Sunset Overdrive, Vermintide 2 You see it your way, I'll see it mine and I'll be fine <cite>Giant_Aspirin posted [p:926099432] in GameStop i...

The GPU limit of the Tegra X1 - specced at 1GHz but with a max 921MHz on Switch - is increased to 1.267GHz on the new processor. Yes, the clockspeeds are the same. It just has a higher ceiling because it's a new generation of chip. It still runs at 384 and 768. Running at max by overclocking to 921 through homebrew has bizzare side effects, so it's not officially used by anything on the Switch. --- "Fear cuts deeper than swords." <cite>archedsoul posted [p:926099495] in GameStop i...

I mainly did it because the joycons with my original system are basically unusable at this point, and a pair of joycons basically offsets the cost of upgrading. I believe Nintendo is repairing all joycons for free because of the drift issues. --- There's no business to be taxed. <cite>DifferentialEquation posted [p:926099706] in GameStop i...

Which is why I said "I'm sure it's hard-underclocked" So I have no idea what you're even arguing about. What does "hard-underclocked" mean to you and how does something running at the same exact 384 and 768 from the original model means the following: "To be fair, that's why it's so much more power efficient." I'm simply telling you it's because of the lower voltage, not anything to do with being underclocked. --- "Fear cuts deeper than swords." <cite>archedsoul posted [p:926099708] in GameStop i...
