[Jaye Martindell]

• CPU: i7 12700K
• GPU: 3080 Ti (power limit raised to 105%)
• RAM: 32GB (2 x 16GB) / 3200MHz
• OS: Win 11 (perf impacting security features like VBS & HVCI disabled, hardware GPU scheduling enabled, HDR on, VRR on)
• Emulator: Yuzu EA
• Approximative Playtime:
  • Yuzu: 80+ hours
  • Ryuginx: 0
• Average framerate:
  • Yuzu: Solid 60fps everywhere with dips to 52-55 in bad areas (Kakariko, Lookout Landing). When fps is unlocked in Yuzu, typically ~70-80fps in wilds, ~60-70 in towns, 52-55 in bad areas, and 120fps in menus (limit for my monitor with Gsync + Vsync). See notes for more thoughts.
  • Ryuginx: N/A
• API: Vulkan with DXGI swapchain in Nvidia settings (for AutoHDR)
• Notes:
  • Additional details:
    • Game version: 1.1.1
    • Mods (v1.7.4 from https://github.com/HolographicWings/TOTK-Mods-collection):
      • FPS++ (60fps target, dynamic fps + cutscene fix included)
      • Resolution 1008p (FXAA on, FSR off, dyn res off)
      • Disable LOD reduction on low framerate
      • LOD improvement
      • Anisotropic filtering fix
      • Island outline fix
  • Stability / bugs
    • Crash (audio drops out, then freeze) after ~2-4 hours. This started around the same time I updated to Nvidia driver 532.03, but there were other changes around then too. Reverted to 531.79 yesterday and haven't seen it since, but too early to confirm.
    • After some dragon tears memories, fps locks to 30 until emu restart.
  • Performance:
    • When fps is unlocked in Yuzu, menu tab switching, Ultrahand Y-axis, and other framerate dependent things are hard to use (too fast). I use Gsync, so I would prefer to unlock the framerate if not for these issues. "Vertical sensitivity fix" seems to reduce this, but also reduces vertical sensitivity for the camera when riding a horse, using the scope, etc (I think it just divides the sensitivity by 2 and these use the same base value but aren't rate-sensitive).
    • The game is definitely CPU or memory bandwidth bound on my setup. I run at 3x resolution scale, and there is virtually no performance difference compared to 2x.
    • FPS++ seems to not quite hit 60 when unlocked in some situations where it does hit 60 when locked. Maybe there's some frame-pacing trickery going on in the game that's fighting with the variable rate? I work in graphics optimization, and this isn't an uncommon issue to hit.
    • Load times improve slightly by unlocking FPS on the loading screen, but then I re-lock in game per above. Maybe a mod could do this?

Feel free to contact me for any follow up questions. Like I mentioned, I work in graphics optimization and am a tinkerer, so can definitely help debug or test changes.

Unbreakable Equipment (RomFS)

Cheats:
Infinite Durability Became broken after Yuzu EA 3607, no longer used

Notes:

Steady improvements using Yuzu EA until after Yuzu EA 3607 when the "Infinite Durability" cheat stopped working. I switched to the "Unbreakable Equipment (RomFS)" mod from GameBanana but since Yuzu EA 3617 I have begun to experience 3 different bugs all related to the "Unbreakable Equipment" mod. The first is random infinite loading screens that can occur at any time. The second is that I can no longer switch shields. If I try to switch shields it just doesn't happen and the icon for the desired shield disappears. If I try to drop that shield it simply disappears from my inventory and doesn't appear on the ground. The third is Gannon, in any form, cannot access his weapon, he makes a movement to grab it and nothing appears. He just keeps repeating the movement and no weapon appears. If I disable the "Unbreakable Equipment" mod all the issues disappear. I'm not sure if the mod is broken in some way, or its some sort of interaction with any of the graphical mods I am using. Before Yuzu EA 3617 it worked perfectly.

  • Yuzu : 27-46 FPS
  • Ryuginx : 20-28 FPS
• API : Vulkan
• Notes : Patch 1.1.2 applied and running the game on 1080p with fps++
  The frametime is all over the place, and this results to many micro stutters which is most likely my cpus fault. I tried capping the framerate to 44 frames with rivatuner, which resolved some of the frametime problems, but i´d still get the micro stutters even though there are no shaders compiling. Unfortunately ryujinx isn´t even playable on my system, but for some reason when it hits 30 frames it feels much more responsive than yuzu on mainline.

Notes :

• Mods were last updated on 30/05/2023

Yuzu Settings - General

• Limit Speed Percent : On (100%)

Notes :

• Makes the game run at 60 FPS (I have 60FPS monitor, no GSync/FreeSync). If I disable it, the game goes over 60 FPS sometimes (to ~65 FPS), ignoring Vsync.

Yuzu Settings - System

• Language : British English
• Region : Australia
• Time Zone : Egypt

Notes :

• This combination of language and region settings switched the in-game temperature from °F to °C.

Yuzu Settings - CPU

• Accuracy : Auto

Yuzu Settings - Graphics

• API : Vulkan
• Use disk pipeline cache : On
• Use asynchronous GPU emulation : On
• Accelerate ASTC texture decoding : On

• Resolution : 3X (2160p/3240p)
• Window Adapting Filter : AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution
• Anti-Aliasing Method : SMAA
• Set FSR Sharpness : 0%

Notes :

• My general rule for Vsync mode choice:
  • FIFO = to minimize power consumption
  • FIFO Relaxed = to minimize stuttering
  • Mailbox = to minimize latency
• SMAA + FSR Sharpness 0% looks the best imo

FPS graph

Ryuginx FPS graph

General Notes

• All info here is with using Yuzu, unless stated otherwise.
• Yuzu mode: Docked.
• Sometimes Gloom is not rendered properly and it looks flat. Starting the game in windowed mode, loading into the save and switching to fullscreen only after I have control of the character fixes the issue for me.
• I try to update mods and yuzu early access as often as possible.
• I only play on Yuzu. Ryuginx was only used for testing for this survey. It didn't try to optimize the settings for max performance.
• FPS in an open world area: varies between 50 and 60.
• FPS in an enclosed area (shrines, caves): stable 60.
• FPS drops when shader compilation happens (duh). Usually it goes down to ~45.
• On Ryuginx: shader compilation was droping FPS from ~37 to ~25.
• Changing between x1, x2 or x3 resolutions have no effect on my FPS. Obvious reason is that my GPU can tank any of those, and actual FPS drops come from CPU and Yuzu.
• Yuzu, the game, NAND and the cache are located on NVMe SSD.
• Average CPU Stats : 62 °C, 36%

• Since 1449 (i think this is the one that removed the black flicker when you aim your bow) i get random stutters when aiming my bow, zooming with the camera or with the purah pad for adding pins on the map, i also would get some sutters where the textures would react in a weird manner and become blurry in very quick intervals, the solution for this was turn down resolution scaling from 2x to 1x

So far no crashes, but Ultrahand etc seem to get stuck for a bit on activation often, requiring wiggling the right stick to "unstick". Motion controls also don't work but that's most likely a Ryujinx issue.
Shader compilation stutter happens of course.

  • Ryuginx : 1 hr (Low frames for me)
• Average framerate :
  • Yuzu : 40-60 pretty consistent with minor slow downs when shaders compile. I will occasionally drop to 15-20 when camera is panned in really close facing Link while climbing or dropping down a ledge. Also Thunder gets FPS dropping sometimes sub 30 with stuttering; I think the texture for rain hitting objects is part of this cause.
  • Ryuginx : 15-20
• API : Vulkan

• Firmware 16.0.0
• Patch 1.1.2 (Started w/ Base release)
• Speed 100% (have also used 75% with success less a few mods back on 1.1.0)
• Games runs well so far on 3x. My main issue currently is texture lines (see screenshots) which gets better a 4x but I get a lot of stuttering on 4x. 2x runs great but the texture lines get increasingly worse; especially grassy areas in Hyrule field. Also in shrines when having to move balls to their pockets I get Red, Green and Blue dots randomly around the ball.
