{{testing/entry|revision=7661|OS=Windows 7|CPU=Intel Core i7-950 @ 3.07GHz|GPU=ATI Radeon HD 5770|result=Unfortunately, this doesn't fair much better than my testing of the Wii version. Resizing, maximizing/minimizing the game window causes the EXACT same errors regarding D3D shading, with the same ridiculous amount of error spam, followed by Dolphin crashing. For some reason, however, maximizing the window when the Nintendo and Dolby logos were occurring, it didn't error spam or crash. That's somewhat of an improvement over my Wii experience I suppose.|tester=Schala}}

{{testing/entry|revision=3.0-96|OS=Sabayon|CPU=Intel Core 2 Duo E6420 @ 2.13GHz|GPU=NVIDIA GeForce GT 430|result=Playable, but slower the larger the current area is. This is noticeable everywhere, but only the forest is a bit slow (I don't mind), and Hyrule Field is very slow (which is annoying). If you're not in Hyrule Field, it works very well overall. Sound works nicely, too, but adapts to the game's speed (so in the slow areas it will be playing slower). Use suggested settings from this page, otherwise you get graphics bugs. State saves work! If you get crashes (happened for me once), try switching between the experimental and non-experimental JIT.|tester=scummos}}

Does not freeze at howling stones or howling at grass with MMU Speed Hack, which does not make FPS drop. Can use anti-aliasing with little impact on performance. Second dungeon completed with no game breaking issues so far.|tester=drhead}}

Hyrule field is 29-30. Froze once on howling stones but worked grand after a restart. Got as far as return to Ordon after kakariko, fully playable, no major graphical glitches. Used settings shown on this page and graphics are set as OpenGL, 2x native mode, 2x anti-aliasing, 1x anisotropic.

{{testing/entry|revision=3.0-371|OS=Windows 7|CPU=AMD Phenom II x4 955 BE @ 3.2GHz|GPU=AMD Radeon HD 6950|result=Runs between 27 and 30FPS. Some slowdowns here and there as well as a freeze once an hour or so. Game still freezes at howling stones. I have to use the MMU + MMUSpeedhack method to bypass this. Other than that, runs fine with ZTP Hack, 1x Native 9x SSAA x16 AF, Force Texture Filtering, Per-Pixel Lighting, EFB copies to ram, disable External Frame Buffer, Fast Mipmaps, Disable Per-Pixel Depth, OpenMP Texture Coder, Cache Display Lists, and the settings used in the problem section of this article.|tester=gtrhitman}}

{{testing/entry|revision=3.0-371|OS=Windows 7|CPU=Intel Core i5-750 @ 2.67GHz|GPU=NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460|result=Fully playable (and enjoyable!) with 27-31FPS, except I didn't fix the intro making garbage audio, but reloading a save did the trick for the rest of my play through so far. Rarely hear an unusual beeping noise in game, but nothing too annoying. Also, before configuring Dolphin accordingly, during the intro, both characters had body parts/clothing flashing bright yellow occasionally; no idea how i fixed it but it's gone. Using JIT Recompiler with D3Dlevel at 9, EFB copies RAM w/o Cache enabled. Texture Cache Accuracy is at Fast. EFB is at Virtual, else the output was very low-res. I also skip EFB Access from CPU and no glitches happened so far when enabled. Force Texture Filtering is enabled. Framelimit is at Auto and Limit by FPS is off. Audio Back-end is DSound with DTK music enabled. Overall, using most settings recommended for optimal results.|tester=MrBucket}}

{{testing/entry|revision=3.0-371|OS=Windows 7|CPU=Intel Core i3-530 @ 2.93GHz|GPU=NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti|result=Roughly a constant 30FPS. There are slowdowns in big/busy areas, but so far the FPS never went below 20. Tested using D3D9 video back-end, 1920x1080 resolution, 3x native internal resolution, no AA, 16x AF, EFB copy to texture (My game always freezes when using EFB copy to RAM for some reason.), texture cache accuracy is fast, no XFB, and skip EFB access from CPU is on. ZTP speedhack is enabled, and I get 23-27FPS on Hyrule Field, with no slowdowns. I haven't experienced any issues with the audio. XAudio2 with DTK music enabled.|tester=Orang}}

{{testing/entry|revision=3.0-458|OS=Mac OS X 10.8|CPU=Intel Core i7 @ 2.6GHz|GPU=Intel HD 4000|result=Force-swapping to integrated GPU almost works as well but slows down significantly in some parts of Hyrule Field. However all lighting glitches are gone. I don't know what to choose, faster speed or no graphical glitches.|tester=Ac}}

{{testing/entry|revision=3.0-717|OS=Windows 7|CPU=Intel Core 2 Q9550 @3.5GHz|GPU=ATI Radeon HD 4870|result=Fully playable but the music on HLE is not right (missing instruments). Not really noticeable unless you played on a real GC before. LLE has perfect music but on my system it works a bit slow. LLE on thread makes the game crash within a few seconds.|tester=Herpderpus}}

{{testing/entry|revision=3.0-721|OS=Windows 7|CPU=Intel Core i3-370M @ 2.4GHz|GPU=Intel HD Graphics|result=Still testing. So far smooth gameplay through the beginning. Have not made it to Hyrule field yet but game runs around 90-100% with some minimal settings. Basic glitches include map and water on widescreen hack.|tester=Spock6742}}

{{testing/entry|revision=3.0-735|OS=Windows 7|CPU=Intel Core i5-2500K @ 4.2GHz|GPU=NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti|result=Fully Playable 30FPS. The game will run fine on a nice (no bottlenecks) Core i5-2500K build on DSP HLE, checked in dolphin options as well as in the game options (accessed by right clicking it), but as far as my experience goes, DSP LLE requires a bit OC on the turbo boost.

{{testing/entry|revision=3.0-752|OS=Windows 7|CPU=Intel Core i7-950 @ 3.06GHz |GPU=NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580|result=The mini-game inside "STAR Tent" (Castle-Town, West Road) cannot start, with the error msg:"BackPath: Currently only supporting reads".

{{testing/entry|revision=3.0-766|OS=Windows 7|CPU=Intel Core 2 Quad Q6700 @ 3.01GHz|GPU=AMD Radeon HD 4890|result=Overall runs well with 28-30FPS in most areas. Hyrule field slows down to between 15-20FPS, and a few other places (such as Hyrule castle town) are also slow, but so far completely playable. However, I have only been able to run it using DSP HLE - using LLE, performance is so poor the game is unplayable (and LLE on thread just makes it crash). As a result, audio volume levels vary wildly from what they're meant to be, and occasionally the sound glitches out completely, requiring a full restart of the game to fix - not regularly enough to be a really major problem though.|tester=Bob2004}}

{{testing/entry|revision=3.0-774|OS=Debian 7|CPU=Intel Core i7-2700 @ 3.4GHz|GPU=NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti|result=Runs well, fully playable at 30FPS and 100% speed. Only slight slowdown in Hyrule Field (slows to approx. 90% speed). The rest of the game runs well with no other problems. In a strange note, running with ZTP Hack ''disabled'' actually makes Hyrule Field faster (90% with it disabled as opposed to 60%-70% enabled).|tester=Zed}}

{{testing/entry|revision=3.5|OS=Windows 7|CPU=AMD Phenom II x6 1100T @ 3.7GHz|GPU=NVIDIA GeForce 660 Ti|result=Works at 30FPS and 100% speed aside from the popular Hyrule Field slowdown. Playing on any SSAA setting and Anisotropic Filtering setting resulted in an extremely smooth experience with no problems at all.|tester=Rhyno}}

{{testing/entry|revision=3.5|OS=Windows 7|CPU=AMD Phenom II x4 945 @ 3GHz|GPU=NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 Ti|result=Full speed 30FPS slowdown only on Hyrule field to 22FPS (when overclock cpu to 3.3GHz getting 27FPS on Hyrule field) on other areas some minor slowdowns on busy scene 28 29FPS EFB copies to texture minimap works great for me no garbage with EFB to texture directx9 beckend audio HLE OpenMP and OpenCL texture decoder enabled, ticked scaled EFB copies disable per-pixel depth ignore format changes 1680x1050 res internal resolution 2.5X NATIVE AF 16x|tester=Mirocroatia}}

{{testing/entry|revision=3.5|OS=Windows 7|CPU=AMD FX-6300 @ 3.5GHz|GPU=NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 Ti|result=The game runs at full 30FPS most of the time. In heavy areas like Gerudo Desert the FPS can drop slightly to 27FPS when a lot is happening on the screen otherwise they run on 30FPS. The fully unlocked Hyrule Field drops to 18-20FPS (overclocking the CPU to 4.1GHz brings a slight boost of 2FPS to about 21 but isn't really worth it; ZTP hack is recommended, without it Hyrule Field runs at only 14 (!) FPS). EFB setting is set to ''Texture'' however there aren't any problems with the minimap or anywhere else in the game (unless you change the setting while the game is running). AA is turned off and AF is set to ''1x''. Otherwise completely playable.|tester=TowerTowel}}

{{testing/entry|revision=4.0|OS=Windows 7|CPU=Intel Core i5-3570K @ 3.6GHz|GPU=AMD Radeon HD 7850|result=With ZTP Hack Enabled, and DirectX9 Backend, Runs Perfectly|tester=Caboose700}}

{{testing/entry|revision=4.0|OS=Windows 7|CPU=Intel Core i7-4770K @ 3.5GHz|GPU=AMD Radeon R9 270X|result=Playable in nearly all parts of the game at full screen 1080p widescreen (not using the built-in widescreen hack), with 4x Internal Resolution, Anti-Aliasing off, 16x Anisotropic Filtering, EFB Copies set to RAM, Texture Cache accuracy set to Safe, and using the DSP LLE Recompiler to accurately emulate audio. The only main areas of slowdown are Gerudo Desert, (27-28FPS), Faron Woods (28-30FPS) and Hyrule Field (17-19FPS). When first exploring Hyrule Field, the game runs full speed, but by the end of the game (full field map explored) the framerate is dropped significantly. All of these framerates were achieved also while recording with Fraps for my Let's Play (http://youtu.be/H9VChIRI-vA?t=15s). There are a couple of freezes while recording in some of the episodes, but I'm pretty sure it's just my computer.|tester=ImAFutureGuitarHero}}

{{testing/entry|revision=4.0.2|OS=Windows 7|CPU=Intel Core-i5-4670K @ 3.8GHz|GPU=NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760|result=Runs quite nicely, no lag as far I played, but make copies of your saves!! Sometimes while loadings, Dolphin crashes and the ENTIRE card goes corrupted. Widescreen hack also glitches graphical effects. Bloom effect goes buggy if you go above native resolution|tester=MagicrafT}}

{{testing/entry|revision=4.0.2|OS=Windows 7|CPU=Intel Core-i5-3450 @ 3.1GHz|GPU=NVIDIA GeForce GTS 450|result=Runs perfectly to up to 3x Standard Resolution on this mid-range computer. I have standard settings in Dolphin. There is just one performance issue I could report so far (being about the middle of the game): If you have the standard DSP on HLE, there won't be any lag in the game, but the music is louder than FX sounds, which sometimes can be annoying. If you use DSP LLE, the loudness of FX and music is reproduced like it should be, but I experienced alot of lag in almost any sequence and on fields around Hyrule - I don't have these issues on DSP HLE though. I run at 3x native resolution, setting it to 1x native doesn't change the lags in any way on DSP LLE. So I stayed with HLE. |tester=Heimdall}}

{{testing/entry|revision=4.0.2|OS=Windows 8.1|CPU=Intel Core-i7 @ 2.1GHz|GPU=Intel HD 4000|result=Is fully playable. Hyrule Field slowdown is severe, provided fix for later versions made it worse.|tester=xxxAceBlade}}
