With Today's Direct, the Switch Officially Has a Game My PC Cannot Play

Title. By play, I mean optimally and minimum requirements met.

Doom 2016 coming to Switch is huge to me. Not just cause it's one of my top games of that year, but because I had to buy it on Xbox One instead of my PC. I'm running on an Alienware x51 R1 manufactured in 2013, unchanged except for hard drive. It can run Overwatch, modded Skyrim, GTA5, Battlefront and even Battlefield One. It can't run Doom and ARK, for examples. The fact that the Switch, a supposedly underpowered system to some gamers and devs, can run something that my resilient ass computer can't is outstanding... and I have the worst time understanding how other devs cannot port more to the Switch after this.

Basic Specs for fellow PC players:
Nvidia GTX 660
Intel i7 3770
16GB Ram

I know I could upgrade a little and this post would be obsolete, but that's not gonna happen sooner than Doom on Switch.

tl;dr - Doom 2016 can run on the Switch, yet it can't run on my computer that runs Battlefield One just fine. Now I have never ending questions to game devs that are dicks to Switch.

Edit: Everyone assuming that I think Switch is top shit tech now, no. Lol. It is, however, not as hard to work with as some make it out to believe. coughTitanfallDevscough

Edit 2: Those that assume that I can run DOOM 2016 need to double check the minimum requirements for it. Posted my specs for that reason. My graphics card isn't minimum. Don't think that's enough to not make it from playing? I can't play ARK or Halo 5: Forge either for the exact same reason. Believe me. I've tried. Multiple times. Multiple settings. PM if you have an Nvidia GTX 660 and can run DOOM 2016 at least 720p 60fps.
