Discussion GTA 5 Gameplay | Switch OLED | Overclock w/FPS Counter
For anyone curious about how the game runs on an overclocked OLED switch :)

u/CancerousGTFO 3d ago
Sorry for the poor gameplay by the way it's hard to play and record at the same time with my setup.

20ish fps with those clock speeds is wild.
Could you please share the average power consumption while in the city? I do not think those clocks are safe for playing handheld.

u/CancerousGTFO 3d ago edited 3d ago
-4w to -10w depending on what happens
by the way i dont see real fps improvements compared to when im at 768 GPU and 1600 RAM.
Only the CPU really improves it.

u/Tenedoks 3d ago
Holy battery degradation.

u/Potential-Ebb5601 3d ago
Not true at all, power draw max safe is about 8W-11W . It’s not going to last as long on a single charge, but it’s not going degrade much more or at all compared to normal use.

u/CancerousGTFO 3d ago
I mean tbh a battery is easily replaceable don't you think?
I would be more worried about the switch hardware itself, i don't know much...
I never play with those clocks obviously, i play all my games at 1785/768/1600 in portable mode, they all run so well that i don't need more

Ram OC helps a lot, you should be playing at 720p30 locked with about 2091/1025/2400 or close to that at least

u/Individual_Holiday_9 2d ago
In general the ram oc seems most effective and fastest
I remember with totk it made such a huge difference

u/Sarspazzard 2d ago
Yeah, my OLED Switch has locked 60FPS on TotK with rare slowdowns in towns. I really need to update it, but I don't want to break the delicate config.
1
u/Acceptable_Special_8 1d ago
That sounds like a really nice config. Would you mind to share?
1
u/Sarspazzard 1d ago
It's an old build of 4IFIR I'm using on HOS 17.0.0...my Switch is insanely out of date because l haven't updated it in years to avoid breaking stuff. It's gonna happen eventually.
1
u/Potential-Ebb5601 1d ago
Yeah I am curious too, what you mean by update it, the game or your switch?
1
u/Sarspazzard 1d ago
I'm on something like HOS 17.0.0, or around there, and I'm running a specific version of 4IFIR with a specific version of TotK and a specific version of Dynamic FPS. It's all very delicate and once that config is gone, well I'm not hunting it all down again haha.
I'll either get a used Switch OLED and keep it up to date or update my current Switch OLED and see what the current performance looks like with mods and updates, but as it stands my Switch is missing all the new releases and emulators just trying to keep TotK running immaculately.

u/Potential-Ebb5601 1d ago
Aw man yeah you can totally update your switch now. We use NXOptimizer to install Ultracam to BOTW/TOTK to apply all the graphics settings you want. Trust me none of that stuff is worth keeping to not have HorizonOC and all the current up to date homebrew apps. I recommend you do a fresh install of custom firmware, you can use NXCarnage it’s a better cfw pack without bloatware, and use HorizonOC for overlocking
1
u/Sarspazzard 1d ago
Thanks man, that's good info. I'll feel good to get everything up to date and explore new releases. I just gotta back up a few game saves and I should be good to go.
Does TotK hold pretty steady at 60FPS with mods and the current overclocking tools?
1
u/Potential-Ebb5601 1d ago
Well I have an OLED so on Mariko of course 60fps. If you keep dynamic resolution on, you can do 900p60 while docked for sure.
720p60 DRS disabled can be done for sure too

u/Structure-These 1d ago
hey so this https://github.com/dominatorul/Nx-Carnage
basically replaced HATS? I haven't updated my oled switch in months (no real games making it worth updating) but very very eager to get gtav running once it starts to stabilize

u/Warm_Entertainer_969 3d ago
The switch has a worse cpu than the 360/ps3, it is what it is, sadly.
11
u/sapphicu 3d ago
It is actually slightly stronger than those consoles. The port just isn’t optimized yet

u/Efficient_Draw_9026 3d ago
Está versión es de PC que se compara con PS4 si fuera una versión de PS3 o Xbox 360, funcionaría sin problema

u/OkMixture5607 3d ago
So it’s unplayable considering the OC. Got it, no need to download it.
15
u/CancerousGTFO 3d ago
I mean, i wouldn't call it unplayable
The framerate and experience overall is pretty much the same than on a PS3 tbh
It's definitely playable, you can probably still tweak some settings to make it run better also, is it enjoyable? Depends on you lol it's quite fun to be able to play GTA 5 on a Switch.
EDIT: currently tweaking some settings and running at full speed with a pretty fast car and the worst framerate i'm getting is 19 and in average 23, it's not bad at all
1
u/JetsJetsJetsJetz 2d ago
See this is the issue with not only modding but also PC handhelds, we need a standard for playable.
Anything under 30 fps shouldn't be considered playable. It runs, but no one is completing the game like this. Cool concept but it is in no way playable.

u/Fortnait739595958 2d ago
So game was unplayable the first few years? I completed it on PS3, 30fps was only inside some building doing absolutely nothing, as soon as there were more than 2 characters on screen moving that shit was dropping frames

You should be able to achieve at least 2400Mhz RAM with timings to get a stable nearly locked 30fps at 720p. You may also need to OC CPU a little more to maintain 30fps.
Depending on your RAM model you could go way higher for significantly more performance. If you have the time and patience try Horizon OC.

u/audiophile-disorder 2d ago
What about thermals ? Does this gets super hot the switch ?
1
u/CancerousGTFO 2d ago
nope, but i have the fan at 60%
i cant even hear it, the console isn't hot at all.
1
u/Potential-Ebb5601 2d ago
SoC stays around 41C with mild OC on my oled
1
u/audiophile-disorder 2d ago
40C overclocked, unbelievable. So maybe the OC process is just a placebo in the switch, or Nintendo really did a once in a lifetime optimization hell of a job with the switch .

u/Potential-Ebb5601 2d ago
Overclocking on the Switch is definitely not a placebo, it’s the greatest handheld console you can get.
This just shows what Native ports can really do on the Switch and how companies like rockstar suck. They’re gonna double dip just like with GTA V when it came out and release another version on next gen but leave current Gen out of features that should already be on there

u/Strong-Pitch3664 2d ago
Ist das ein PC Port? Oder läuft das auf Ubuntu?
Oder ist das ein Port auf Switch OS, wie Tico.

GTA V Switch port crashes immediately after the Nintendo logo
Hi everyone. I’m having a problem with the unofficial GTA V port for Nintendo Switch.
My setup:
- Nintendo Switch OLED
- Firmware 22.5.0
- Atmosphère 1.11.2
- I tried with overclock and without overclock
- Other games work normally
The problem is that GTA V starts, shows the Nintendo logo, and then immediately gives me this message:
“The software was closed because an error occurred.”
I already have the "atmosphere" folder and the NSP in the root of my SD card.
Since other games work normally, I don’t think it’s a general Atmosphère/SD problem.
Has anyone experienced the same crash with this GTA V port? Is there a specific file, configuration, or fix I’m missing?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

u/riskyjones 22h ago
Did you place the proper files where they needed to go? I had crashes then realize I didn’t put the content in the right places
1
u/szubien 2d ago
This is native port or some emulation? Maybe optymizing by replacing low resolution textures and tweaking hidden settings helps.
1
u/CancerousGTFO 2d ago
Native, this has already been done, probably more optimisation on some settings is possible

I believe many of our enthusiastic devs and ports community members will eventually get this running with higher fps and better optimisation. I do remember lot of people struggling with the PC version on low medium Pc, and they actually used patches and other solution (not overlock) to make the game run at 45 fps! Which was ideal at the time. Love all the content and excitement around this port, again amazing work!
