Add on Yuzu's improved rendering accuracy, and these changes are a clear win for PC's Switch emulator.īelow we also have a video from BSoD Gaming, who tested an early access version of this update with his RTX 3070-based PC. Performance gains of greater than 2x are possible in some cases, making the emulator a lot more usable with low-end gaming systems. Yuzu's developers are also planning to utilise features like conservative rasterization to deliver further performance gains for new graphics cards.īelow is a chart from Yuzu which highlights the performance advantage of the latest version of Yuzu using the Vulkan API with a Ryzen 5 3400G APU, which features a Vega-based integrated graphics chip. This feature was added to AMD products with the RX Vega series, to Nvidia's Geforce lineup with Turing and Intel's Gen 9 and newer iGPUs. Modern GPU features like FP16 software acceleration, as used by the Switch's Tegra X1 SoC, allows users of modern GPU architectures to benefit from a 2:1 performance increase over FP32 with certain floating-point calculations.

New Vulkan API features are now part of the Yuzu emulation pipeline, accelerating its performance while requiring users of Intel, AMD and Nvidia GPUs to utilise each company's latest drivers to ensure compatibility. With the latest version of Yuzu, the benefits of the emulator's recent Buffer Cache Rewrite (BCR) have been extended to the emulator's Vulkan version, and supports for new features within Vulkan have been implemented.
The Yuzu Switch Emulator has received its first major update of 2021, delivering major improvements to the emulator's performance and stability thanks to CPU emulation improvements and a major graphical rewrite.
