In early March this year, the documents leaked by NVIDIA implied the existence of switch 2. It is said that it will adopt ampere architecture GPU (NVIDIA RTX 30 series) to support optical tracing and DLSS 2.2. In the recent financial report, Nintendo also talked about the successor model of switch, saying that the smooth transition to the new generation is the company's "major concern". According to the latest recruitment advertisement released by NVIDIA, Nintendo is indeed preparing to launch a new hardware and still uses NVIDIA's custom chips.
NVIDIA released the position of "game console developer tool engineer", which mentioned that qualified candidates should design "next generation" graphics tools to help console developers easily use and use NVIDIA's GPU technology and functions.
"Are you passionate about 3D graphics, GPU and low-level hardware programming? Have you ever dreamed of helping make video games a reality? Do you want to work with a fast, agile and experienced team? Are you ready to move at the speed of light?
NVIDIA is looking for a software engineer with deep technology, creativity and strong hands-on ability to develop graphics development tools for the next generation of mainframe. You will work with the NVIDIA graphics tools team to build tools that enable global developers to take full advantage of the power of NVIDIA GPU.
We are looking for a low-level programmer to help us provide the best game experience possible for game developers looking to debug and optimize games. "
The job advertisement also mentioned that NVIDIA is looking for people who are proficient in "GPU low-level performance tuning / optimization", focusing on "enabling developers to achieve higher and more consistent frame rate".
Considering that switch is the only host using NVIDIA chip in the market, this "next generation host" can only be the successor model of switch.
