{{testing/entry|revision=4.0-5962|OS=Windows 7 x64|CPU=Intel Core i5-4460|GPU=NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 Ti|result=Settings differed from default: Direct3D, 2.5x Native, 4x AA, 16x AF, "Dual Core" unchecked, "Skip EFB Access from CPU" checked, "Framelimit" off, "VSync" unchecked (Adaptive VSync enabled in NCP). Tested two entire Grand Prix cups. Not a single crash! Full speed 98% of the time. Loss of speed is due to a handful of stutters usually during the first 3-8 seconds of a race (not in every race though) and about 1-2 stutters during the rest of a race. Once you play through a race, replaying it lowers the chances of stuttering, possibly to none. There are some audio bugs - mostly the music in the menu when selecting stuff, and sometimes the "3, 2, 1, GO" doesn't play all the way. Other NCP settings used: Max Pre-Rendered Frames set to "1". It helps reduce input lag with VSync, which is important for this game. Overall, satisfying results!|tester=Jodeth}} | {{testing/entry|revision=4.0-5962|OS=Windows 7 x64|CPU=Intel Core i5-4460|GPU=NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 Ti|result=Settings differed from default: Direct3D, 2.5x Native, 4x AA, 16x AF, "Dual Core" unchecked, "Skip EFB Access from CPU" checked, "Framelimit" off, "VSync" unchecked (Adaptive VSync enabled in NCP).

Otherwise, this game looks fantastic at a native 16:9 aspect ratio in 1080p. Very little screen tearing with V-Sync disabled (I've had mixed results with it enabled - mostly positive, but occasional random crash has led me to disabling V-Sync for now).

I was able to complete every Cup on Master difficulty with no issues whatsoever, other than the mentioned slowdown issues, and oddly missing Credit stills - the Pilot homages working fine otherwise. | {{testing/entry|revision=5.0-rc-34|OS=Windows 10 x64|CPU=Intel Core i5-6600K @ 3.5GHz (4.5GHz oc)|GPU=NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970|result='''Final Verdict''': F-Zero GX mostly hits a consistent 60fps, only suffering minor framerate drops, stutters, and the rare slowdown.

Settings: Backend OpenGL (Direct3D seems to deliver similar performance), Force 16:9, V-Sync (False), 3x Native (1920x1584), 4xAA (4x SSAA is possible, but tends to cause more stuttering? it's difficult to say), Per-Pixel Lighting (true), Skip EFB Access from CPU (DISABLED - this will reduce or remove blur effects from boosting and Sand Ocean/Fire Field(?), but the slowdowns on mentioned tracks makes the game essentially unplayable). All other settings left to default. On a side note, Dolphin VR 4.0-9170-dirty with Oculus Rift DK2 and SDK 0.7 works well, drawback being choppy headtracking and broken menus.|tester=PyroPaperPlanes}} | Settings: Backend OpenGL (Direct3D seems to deliver similar performance), Force 16:9, V-Sync (False), 3x Native (1920x1584), 4xAA (4x SSAA is possible, but tends to cause more stuttering? it's difficult to say), Per-Pixel Lighting (true), Skip EFB Access from CPU (DISABLED - this will reduce or remove blur effects from boosting and Sand Ocean/Fire Field(?), but the slowdowns on mentioned tracks makes the game essentially unplayable).
