Nintendo Switch 2's dock supports VRR after all โ€“ so why doesn't it work?


Nintendo may bring VRR support to TV mode in the future

๐Ÿงช Thanks to testing by The Verge involving a Steam Deck, and a female-to-male USB-C extension cable, we now know that the dock supports 4K 120Hz output with variable refresh rate The issue is that we're still not sure whether the Switch 2 itself supports variable refresh rate when docked, even if we know it does when the console is in handheld mode using a form of Nvidia's G-Sync. When Switch 2 was first announced, Nintendo had listed variable refresh rate support in docked mode on the console's spec sheet, although it was mysteriously removed from product pages in the USA and Canada.
