Can the switch even handle the graphics? I guess somehow It can.

The undocked Switch is in the same ballpark for raw power as the 360 and PS3, so as long as they've managed to sufficiently unfuck the game's nightmare spaghetti code, should be just fine.

This is Rockstar to be fair

The Switch is faster than a PS3/360, which the original game ran on.

To summarize, unoptimized PS3 < 360 < optimized PS3 < WiiU (slightly slower cpu then previous, faster GPU) < Switch in terms of devices with a roughly similar performamce level.

The Switch has pretty underwhelming specs but this is a PS2 game isn't it?

360/PS3. Switch will struggle for sure. It’ll probably be 30fps @720p with either slightly lower res or unstable framerate.
