DSP-LLE is typically used for homebrew titles and debugging. DSP-HLE is many times faster and causes no risk of issues in 99% of titles. Dolphin will usually disable Dual Core in games that are especially sensitive to CPU GPU desyncs.ĭSP-HLE vs DSP-LLE: Most users should never have to change between DSP-HLE and DSP-LLE. The most common downside to this performance boost is the risk for random 'Unknown Opcode' issues and the associated crashes. May cause various random issues caused by splitting the CPU and GPU threads onto different cores. Settings that do not pertain to performance will not be mentioned in this guide.Įnable Dual Core: A powerful option for gaining performance that has no downsides some of the time. In this guide, we'll go through some of the easiest ways to gain performance and note the downsides of the various performance hacks in order to help identify when they should be disabled for stability. Faster computers may want to disable some of the performance hacks for more stability, where as slower computers and many mobile devices may want to sacrifice stability for even more performance. All other manufacturers are not generally recommended.ĭolphin's default configurations are centered around a mixture of performance and compatibility. High-end Mali graphics solutions may also provide playable framerates. Graphics: RNDA2 or Snapdragon based graphics processors give the best performance.For Qualcomm devices, processors with 2 or more 'big cores' recommended. Onboard graphics may work, but drivers may vary. Graphics: A graphics card that supports Direct3D 11 / OpenGL 4.4 / Vulkan 1.1 is recommended.Highly recommended to have 4 cores or more. Processor: A 64-bit x86-64 or AArch64 processor.Most modern Linux distributions should work given support for Dolphin's dependencies, and FreeBSD is unsupported but also may work. OS: 64-bit edition of Windows (10 or higher), Linux, or macOS (macOS 10.14 Mojave or higher).Generally, these are the minimum recommended requirements for Dolphin. Every game has different requirements, some titles may require a powerful computer while some other titles may not.
