Nintendo's next console, the Switch was announced in the Autumn of 2016 to a pretty positive response. It's looking to combine a portable and home console into one, with a decent sized screen and modular controls. And tomorrow, we get to have a play with it.

Following on from an early morning Tokyo debut event, where we'll learn about the console's launch date, what games will be available when it hits the shelves and what it's capabilities are, KitGuru will be heading into London to have a try for ourselves. We'll be taking pictures, recording video and having a good long play with the console itself.

What games we'll be playing, we have no idea. What type of testing we'll be allowed to do is also rather nebulous right now. What we do know though is that we'll be trying to answer a few questions of our own about the system's capabilities and if you have any questions you want answered, let us know.

Do you care mostly about its mobile abilities? Are you worried it might overheat or be underpowered when in portable mode? Do you want to know how comfortable the controllers are, or whether it can graphically keep up with the Xbox One and PS4?

Let us know and when we writing up our report of the event, we'll do our best to answer them.

Discuss on our Facebook page, HERE.

KitGuru Says: As much as I'll be going in with my professional hat on tomorrow, if there is a port of Monster Hunter X there to try out, I may only be able to answer questions on that. Full Barroth armour set before I leave is my main goal.

AMD may have waited a little while to debut its dual Fiji XT graphics card, but it seems like the wait was worth it. AMD has today begun showing off the monstrous card, with an equally insane price tag, but has said it's capable of 16 TFLOPS of computing power, making it approximately three times as powerful as a Nvidia Titan Black.

It's almost 50 per cent faster than a R9 295×2 as well,  easily making this card, known as the Radeon Pro Duo, the most powerful GPU in the world when it's released at some point in “early Q2” this year. Considering AMD has talked up its ability to create and consume VR content, we would expect AMD to be pushing it strong in this sector.

“AMD’s next step in advancing VR is with the new AMD Radeon Pro Duo, an incredibly advanced and powerful dual-GPU board that delivers the horsepower needed by VR designers, content creators, and for VR content consumers,” it said in a release.

Although the specifications under the hood are yet to be announced, AMD did talk up how other companies are already enjoying the benefits of the high-powered, single-PCB graphics card. Crytek announced it would be working in conjunction with AMD to provide hardware and software to schools and universities to help foster VR development – with the Radeon Pro Duo powering all of it.

“We see Radeon Pro Duo, which includes two of the fastest GPU chips available packaged on a single card as pivotal in meeting the increasing production demands across the previsualization and production industries alike,” said Crytek creative director, Jean-Colas Prunier.

We'll update this story as and when we learn more about what's under the hood of the new card, but expect it to set you back $1,500 (£1,250 (inc. 20 per cent VAT)) when it launches.

KitGuru Says: That is a truly monstrous card. Considering how good scaling can be under DirectX12 and in VR too, we would expect this card to be the perfect partner for 4K gaming.
