After setup your configurations should look like this example for a High-End PC. Your settings may vary, read above:
IMPORTANT: Before reset the settings, make a backup of your save folder:
- Right Click on the game name -> Open Save Data Location -> Copy everything to a safe location
Steps to safely reset Yuzu settings do defaults:
- Right Click on the game -> Open Mod Data Location -> Delete all mods.
- Reset Yuzu settings in Configure -> "Reset All Settings" button.
- Clear the cache by right click on the game name -> Remove -> "Remove All Pipeline Caches".
- Clear the cache storage by right click on the game name -> Remove -> "Remove Cache Storage".
- Restart your PC. (This is important!)
- Install the newest yuzu version.
- Start the game and wait a couple minutes to rebuild the shaders.
- Recommended Game Version: 1.2.0
- FPS - DynamicFPS - 30FPS
Use 60fps if you have a hexa-core from 2021 or better, like the Desktop version of Intel i5 or AMD Ryzen 5. Laptop performs worse! - FPS - DynamicFPS - v1.5.5 - 1920x1080 resolution
Use 3840x2160 resolution if you have an GTX 1070 (8GB) or better. Is recommended to use resolutions multiples of 1920x1080, even if your monitor is 1440p. - FPS - DynamicFPS v1.5.5 beta 3 (main) - Even in the beta stage, this mod is so impressive that became recommended.
- FPS - UI Blackscreen Fix (unless you are using a controller UI mod, which already has this)
- Graphics - LOD Improvement - Version 2.0 improve LOD while also having a minor performance improvement. More info on the README
- Graphics - Disable Quality Reduction - Mandatory if you are using DynamicFPS.
Right Click on the game name -> Properties -> System:
- Memory layout: 6GB DRAM (Unsafe) for up to 4K resolution. 8GB DRAM (Unsafe) for more.
This setting increases the amount of emulated RAM from the Switch's original 4GB to 6GB or 8GB.
It's used by DynamicFPS to increase resolution and activate its own shadow mod. The shadow part is needed to fix the Shadow Flicker Bug, if you disable "extended memory" you will need to use the mod "Shadows 1024x" to fix the bug.
It was tested on and old Intel i7 4770 with 16GB RAM. It works better than expected even at the limit of RAM. Don't open anything besides Yuzu (specially Chrome)!
Turn 4GB DRAM (Default) you have less than 16GB RAM.
Emulation -> Configure -> Graphics
- VSync Mode: Mailbox if available. Otherwise FIFO.
Everything else at the default.
Right Click on the game name -> Properties -> Graphics:
- Render API: Vulkan (OpenGL can have weird visual glitches)
- Use Disk Pipeline Cache: On (Clear the pipeline caches when they grow up too much)
- Use asynchronous GPU emulation: On
- Accelerate ASTC Texture Decoding: On
- NVDEC emulation: GPU Video Decoding (This is for cutscenes, try CPU Video Decoding if you have a weak gpu)
- Fullscreen Mode: Exclusive Fullscreen (Borderless Fullscreen breaks GSYNC)
- Aspect Ratio: Default (16:9) (Use Stretch to Window if using an aspect ratio mod)
- Resolution: 1x. Don't change this, mods do a better job at scaling resolution.
- Window Adapting Filter:
- Bicubic if the render resolution is above your monitor resolution
- Bilinear if the render resolution is equal to your monitor resolution
- FSR if the render resolution is under your monitor resolution
- Anti-Aliasing Method: None if you are using scaling above your monitor resolution. Choose at will otherwise.
- FSR Sharpness: Set to taste, this setting only functions when Window Adapting Filter is set to FSR.
- Accuracy Level: Normal (High has worse GPU performance, but with a lower risk of visual bugs, TotK does not currently need High except for debugging)
- ASTC recompression depends on your GPU vRAM:
- BC1 for 2GB,
- BC3 for 4-6GB,
- Uncompressed for more.
- Enable asynchronous presentation (Vulkan only): Off (framepacing is negatively impacted if you enable, only use if you are 1-2 fps from your locked fps target)
- Force maximum clocks (Vulkan only): Off (possible small benefit if using very slow or fast hardware, but will waste power efficiency)
- Decode ASTC textures asynchronously (Hack): Off ("On" may reduce texture loading stutters, but causes black squares and glitched loading screens)
- Enable Reactive Flushing: On (Improves syncing of memory)
- Use asynchronous shader building (Hack): Off (Reduces stuttering when shaders are compiling but causes weird weapons icons. To fix it turn the option off and right click the game name -> Remove -> Remove Cache Storage)
- Use Fast GPU Time (Hack): On (DynamicFPS 1.5.5 changed a lot, please report if you are having issues with this settings)
- Use Vulkan Pipeline Cache: On (Immense reduction in initial game loading time for AMD, improves shader compilation stutter for NVIDIA and Intel as well)
- Sync to framerate of video playback: Off (It's included on DynamicFPS)
- Barrier feedback loops: On (Solves transparency issues with Ultrahand)
- Anisotropic Filtering: 8x or 16x
