A small but important detail was hidden away on Digital Foundry’s FAST RMX article that suggests that there’s currently a small issue with the current Nintendo Switch firmware. The site reports that it’s causing a slight drain on GPU resources. However it will be fixed and it will ultimately improve system performance.
“From what we understand, there is a small issue with the current firmware on Switch which causes a slight drain on GPU resources – once corrected, we’re told that Fast RMX should sustain a full 1080p in docked mode.”

“That’s all the info I received on the matter. Sounds like it’s a minor thing but interferes slightly with the adaptive resolution feature. I wouldn’t expect huge performance gains in games like Zelda or anything.”

Hmm, maybe this is what causes the small framerate problems in Zelda?
It was always a bit strange seeing exactly at which seemingly random places it happens, so it always felt like an error of some kind.
Im pretty sure its just all the crap thats on screen. Stupid grasslands xD
I wonder if this is causing the framerate issues in the Legend of Zelda and Fast Racing RMX when docked.
Pretty much so yeah.
Extra context: The game runs at a consistent 60fps. The current issue is the occassional resolution drop to 900p.
