Nintendo Switch specs have been revealed by NVIDIA following the big Nintendo NX reveal.

NVIDIA has revealed more about what's powering the handheld/console hybrid in a blog post on its website.

According to NVIDIA, the Nintendo Switch is powered by a custom Tegra processor. The high-efficiency scalable processor is said to include an NVIDIA GPU based on the "same architecture as the world’s top-performing GeForce gaming graphics cards".

The fully custom software is also said to include a revamped physics engine, as well as new libraries and advanced game tools.

"NVIDIA additionally created new gaming APIs to fully harness this performance," the post continues. "The newest API, NVN, was built specifically to bring lightweight, fast gaming to the masses.

"Gameplay is further enhanced by hardware-accelerated video playback and custom software for audio effects and rendering.

"We’ve optimised the full suite of hardware and software for gaming and mobile use cases. This includes custom operating system integration with the GPU to increase both performance and efficiency."
