* From the three backends available, Direct3D9 is the fastest and most reliable back end available, OpenGL are the most accurate and Direct3D11 are somewhat between these two, remember also that OpenGL is the only backend available on Linux and Mac. It is recommended you use Direct3D9 unless you encounter problems.

* Setting the "Fullscreen resolution" to your monitors native display resolution is recommended. However, a lower "Fullscreen resolution" may boost performance for users with inferior graphics cards. Also, if your monitor have an aspect ratio of 16:10 or 5:4, you need to enable "Crop" on Advanced tab to remove the black borders.

* Set Internal Resolution to "Auto - (Multiple of 640x528)". If the emulation suffers from slowdowns, change it to "1x Native (640x528)" or lower, and go up from there until you can find the highest setting without slowdown.

* Checking "Skip EFB Access from CPU" can provide a speed boost. However, some games like [[Super Mario Galaxy]] require this to be unchecked to function properly.

* Make sure that "EFB Copies" are set to "Texture", and change them to "RAM" only when running a game that require it. You can also "Enable cache" when using EFB to RAM to gain a small speedup.

* If you have a CPU with more than two cores, enabling "OpenMP Texture Decoder" might result in a speedup.
