A high-spec GPU like the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti can help push render resolution up to 4K without sacrificing performance, for a better 'docked' experience than the Switch itself offers. However, owners of high-end CPUs like the recently launched Core i9-10900K should be able to run many games at 60 FPS. While not all games deliver a full-speed experience on Yuzu, performance boosts of up to 100 percent have been seen, going by BSOD Gaming's benchmarks.Įven with multi-core support, Yuzu remains a very demanding emulator. The Prometheus update should finally enable popular titles like Super Mario Odyssey, Breath of the Wild, and Super Smash Bros Ultimate to run at 60 FPS on a wider range of hardware configurations.
Yuzu was announced to be in development on January 14, 2018, 1 2 10 months after the release of the Nintendo Switch. This news comes just days after an anonymous DirectX 12 source port for Super Mario 64 was outed. Yuzu (sometimes stylized in lowercase) is a free and open-source emulator of the Nintendo Switch, developed in C++. The developers of the Yuzu Nintendo Switch emulator recently announced the arrival of its Prometheus update, delivering proper multi-core support and massive performance gains.
