Recent Nvidia leaks suggest that a new Nintendo Switch may be under development to support Nvidia's frame rate boost DLSS technology.

Because NVN is the name of the graphic API used for Nintendo Switch, there are three potential references to Switch in the leaked code: "nvndlss.cpp", "nvn_dlss.cpp", and "nvn_dlss_backend.h".

Interestingly, the code also mentions "NVN2", which suggests that we might get a second-generation Switch after all. As TweakTown pointed out in his own report, Bloomberg reported as early as September 2021 that some developers were creating games for 4K Switch consoles that didn't actually exist, adding weight to existing rumors.

This is not the first time there have been rumors that Nvidia and Nintendo have joined forces to introduce deep learning supersampling to the Switch console, although some of them date back to the beginning of last year, when there were rumors that a more powerful version of Switch was under development.

Switch 2 or Switch Pro, which is thought to support 4K, was eventually revealed as Switch OLED, but it seems that we should not completely give up the idea of Nintendo releasing a more powerful version of the console.

Twitter [email protected] came in, saying that the leaked Nvidia code also made special reference to the T239 chip, which could appear in a more powerful Switch console version. We haven't seen it yet, but when you notice that Switch OLED docking stations can support 60FPS's native 4K resolution, it adds more complexity than current Tegra X1+ chips in handheld devices can do.
