NVIDIA cards are abnormally slow during bounding box effects even at very low internal resolutions when using D3D11. They get dramatically slower as the internal resolutions increase, even though comparable AMD graphics cards suffer no slowdown at all. This is due to Dolphin hitting a slow path on those graphics cards. It is recommended that supported NVIDIA users use D3D12 or OpenGL backends when playing games that require Bounding Box emulation to avoid that. | NVIDIA cards are abnormally slow during bounding box effects even at very low internal resolutions when using D3D11.

Bounding Box emulation requires GPU-specific features that are not present on older GPUs (older than 3rd quarter 2012). As such, graphics cards without Direct3D 11 or OpenGL 4.3 support are no longer supported. In essence, only computers with GPUs: NVIDIA GeForce 400 series and newer, AMD/ATI Radeon HD 5000 series and newer, and Broadwell integrated GPUs (Intel HD Graphics 5300+) are supported by Dolphin for games requiring certain bounding box implementations. Additionally, OS X cannot be used, because no GPU drivers for OS X support the required features as of July 2016. | Bounding Box emulation requires GPU-specific features that are not present on older GPUs (older than 3rd quarter 2012).

Using newer revisions with unsupported GPUs or drivers will lead to graphical glitches and softlocks. If game-breaking bugs are experienced, use revision {{revision|4.0-5124}} or lower as a workaround. For more information, refer to {{Issue|8405}}, {{Issue|8505}}, {{Issue|8270}}. | Using newer revisions with unsupported GPUs or drivers will lead to graphical glitches and softlocks.
