I think there is only 1 config file (inside the .pak file: Newera/Config/SwitchDeviceProfiles.ini).
I just extracted the files myself to check and seems like the 1440p was just edited.
Gonna look around for more info.

We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
Based on how tech has progressed since the Switch, how powerful could a Switch Pro in early 2021 actually be?

I mean, there's still Nate and the others in here talking about the Pro being 4K capable and having DLSS ...
I was still looking up how to extract the UE4 .pak, but this is about what I expected.I think there is only 1 config file (inside the .pak file: Newera/Config/SwitchDeviceProfiles.ini).

Yeah absolutely, this was just the first piece of evidence that we could have, it has nothing to do with the people I've talked to, it came from someone who was known as a data miner to a Nintendoera member and I shared it here because if it was real it collaborated everything I'd heard, but again it wasn't the source of anything I've heard and I knew that it would be verified as real or fake before the weekend ended, so I didn't think it would be harmful to share.
If we want real information, we will have to dig through some trash.
I can back up Tryol here. It's not looking like there's a second file (which would be what makes sense - presumably the Switch profile has standard settings, and SwitchConsole and SwitchHandheld are the docked and undocked modes which inherit and override various settings). Seems they just added a resolution override line to the SwitchConsole profile.
At least booting up CFW gave me an excuse to run Xenoblade at native res in handheld mode again. It looks so good, really hope Monolith updates their games for the new hardware.
The version is still 1.0.0. Not sure if that means anything, but... everything in that config screenshot is identical except for the added resolution line. You'd think other stuff would be different on new hardware.
That's a pretty bizarre thing to attempt to fake. You'd have to realize it would be found out pretty quickly.
Perhaps on the current hardware, but the power boost itself should be more than enough. They look gorgeous running at the docked clocks in handheld mode.
I'd like to see the sharpening filter gone and maybe find a way to reduce the pop-in and maybe increase the resolution of textures.
Well, the profiles are dependent on the developer.
If they just want to take the same settings and use that horsepower to yeet it to 1440p, they can.
What's the approximate power jump we're speculating again? I imagine the new unit can do those things at 1080p and DLSS that up to 4K when docked, but I don't expect them to increase the resolution of any assets. Reducing pop-in is more likely but I still wouldn't expect it.
The sharpening filter is easily configurable and can be edited or removed on a modded Switch.
What a rollercoaster right, and I enjoyed every minute. Thanks Tryol and JershJopstin for the Nancy Drewing. This rumor was sus to begin with. Since most TVs don't support 1440p, Nintendo is highly unlikely to target the resolution. Even as the source resolution of DLSS, 1080p is quite enough.
the render resolution being 1440p isn't all that weird, especially for other consoles. the system would just scale it afterwards anyway
I'd like to see a leak of the next Nintendo Switch model's housing, like with the Nintendo Switch Lite, to see if the rumour of the next Nintendo Switch model having a magnesium alloy housing is true or not.
That was a one of a kind experience. I still have several mockups I made for transparent buttons based on that design.
I miss that level of hardware speculation.
Didn't we find out recently though, that's what an early Switch prototype actually looked like?
Please no. Then we'd have folks trying to use reflected trees to pinpoint the device's location
Like I said last night, things are already leaning towards that outcome even without having a leaked 1440p profile. It just would have been a nice piece of solid confirmation.
Yes, but the design also appeared in a public patent, which is what the 3D printed fake was based on.
Oooooh yes we did.
The thread had them placed in a Ubisoft office in Sweden I think? Based solely on the trees.
It was a fantastic thread.
Exactly. I'm still very confident. It just would have been a solidifying piece of concrete information. I still feel like we'll know all there is to know about the revision specs in an official announcement from Nintendo in H2.
Lol I do remember that now, talk about some top notch sleuthing going on!
Maybe the 1440p was faked, but I kinda hope they would allow that resolution for some PC monitors. PS5 does too, no?
I've had my Switch hooked up to my ASUS VG27AQ for the past month now and while it does have the slight tinge of vaseline smeared across it, it still looks pretty nice on a monitor that can support a 165hz refresh rate. Certainly I wouldn't mind 1440p if it means a boost to fps all things considered.
Maybe now that Switch has established itself as a gaming console, it can now get the 3rd party apps that are long overdue like Netflix, Twitch integration that the Pro can support, etc

Ah, I got mixed up; the article states that it's the Xbox that supports it, not PS5.
That being said, would it be a software update that could allow it? Theoretically the same thing with Switch so long as it also supported HDMI 2.1 in the dock?
This.
There is very little pony to support a 1440p output. That said a 4K switch will probably have to run all its game at a maximum of 1440p before DLSS.
You may want to try the mClassic dongle. It upscales to 1440p (but not 4K). When you set the Switch output to 1080p, the result looks very good except that circles don't look perfectly round; if that bothers you, set the Switch output to 720p to get perfect upscaled circles but you'd lose some visual details.
It's the combination of events - no mention of BotW2, SS in July, no mention of TP/WWHD, AoC DLC in November. Too many signs pushing BotW2 out of 2021, in my view, and I already had my reservations about it being this year.
I really don't get this idea that AoC DLC can't be close to BotW2. I keep hearing it all over the place but it doesn't make sense, surely the opposite is more likely- that they would want it to release close to BotW2.
The marketing synergy works a lot better that way.
