Frequently asked questions

Can Gigabyte Eagle GeForce GTX 780 Ti handle Nintendo 64 emulation?
Gigabyte Eagle GeForce GTX 780 Ti for simple64 (Nintendo 64): runs excellently. GPU score 1,100 against the emulator minimum 500 — headroom ×2.2; recommended internal resolution 2×–3× of native. This GPU passes the minimum of 32 out of 49 emulators in the database. More than double headroom — most games will run smoothly and you can raise the internal resolution to 2–3× for a sharper image.
Which internal resolution should I pick in simple64 on Gigabyte Eagle GeForce GTX 780 Ti?
For Gigabyte Eagle GeForce GTX 780 Ti in simple64 the recommended internal resolution is 2×–3× of native (headroom ×2.2). Every doubling of resolution roughly quadruples the GPU load; if frame rate dips, lower the multiplier by one step.
What matters more for simple64 — CPU or GPU?
For simple64 the minimum CPU score is 1,300 and the GPU minimum is 500. The CPU drives the speed of emulating the console itself (the main source of dips), the GPU sets the rendering resolution. If Gigabyte Eagle GeForce GTX 780 Ti passes the minimum but FPS is low, look at the CPU.
Is 3 GB of Gigabyte Eagle GeForce GTX 780 Ti VRAM enough for simple64?
At the native Nintendo 64 resolution, 3 GB of VRAM is enough for every emulator in the database. Raising the internal resolution to 3–4× and HD texture packs increase usage; the project's official recommendation: any.
How do I check my whole PC, not just the GPU?
The simple64 page has a "Can my PC run it" block: pick both your GPU and CPU — the verdict takes both minimums into account. The FPSHQ app for Windows detects the hardware automatically.

Methodology and sources

This page uses the FPSHQ database: the GPU and CPU catalogue with synthetic benchmark scores, official game system requirements, FPS measurements from users of the FPSHQ app and the FPSHQ performance model. Calculated values are estimates, not a measurement of your exact configuration: the real result depends on drivers, settings and the rest of the hardware. More about the methodology →
