My pc isn't a beefcake by any means, but it does play a lot of stuff a lot better then I ever expected. So when I found out about GameCube emulator I was on board right away! So my question now is for the spec of my pc, what would be the most optimal settings?? And please "dumb" it down for me please, I'm still a PCaster race Virgin of sorts. So not super familiar with a lot of the terms.
Dell Optiplex 790 intel i5-2400 3.1GHz
EVGA GeForce GTX 1050 FTW DDR5 2GB
16GB of RAM
Windows 10 64bit
That's all I got going on in that thing. So what be the best settings wise to get the most out of my pc?
Thank you!!
Your PC should be able to run quite a few games without serious issues. I'd just start with the default settings and tweak from there, with the biggest slow features being Store EFB Copies to RAM and the Store XFB Copies to RAM (or RealXFB in older builds.)
There are some games that'll be a bit too strenuous to maintain full speed at all times, but, it shouldn't be all that common among the popular games.
I'm asking because I'm new to the PC game, I'll keep things at default and go from there, but what settings would you all recommend?
In terms of what settings is safe to play around with, playing around with Internal Resolution in Graphics > Enhancements is generally safe. If you have a 1080p display, set it to 3x.
If you're on the latest development build, setting shader compilation to "Async (Ubershaders)" in Graphics > General and check "compile shaders before starting" will remove shader compilation stutter during gameplay
