Frequently asked questions

Can GeForce GTX 1660 Super handle Nintendo Switch emulation?
GeForce GTX 1660 Super for Sudachi (Nintendo Switch): won't run stably. GPU score 1,870 against the emulator minimum 3,150 — headroom ×0.6; recommended internal resolution <1× of native. This GPU passes the minimum of 38 out of 49 emulators in the database. Below the emulator minimum: expect serious dips and stutter even at native resolution.
Which internal resolution should I pick in Sudachi on GeForce GTX 1660 Super?
For GeForce GTX 1660 Super in Sudachi the recommended internal resolution is <1× of native (headroom ×0.6). Every doubling of resolution roughly quadruples the GPU load; if frame rate dips, lower the multiplier by one step.
What matters more for Sudachi — CPU or GPU?
For Sudachi the minimum CPU score is 5,450 and the GPU minimum is 3,150. The CPU drives the speed of emulating the console itself (the main source of dips), the GPU sets the rendering resolution. If GeForce GTX 1660 Super passes the minimum but FPS is low, look at the CPU.
Is 6 GB of GeForce GTX 1660 Super VRAM enough for Sudachi?
At the native Nintendo Switch resolution, 6 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: Vulkan 1.1: GTX 900+ / RX 400+ · 2 GB VRAM or more.
How do I check my whole PC, not just the GPU?
The Sudachi 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 →
