How to get Better Performance in Suyu Emulator.

If you'd like to toggle between graphics modes and settings in Suyu, you have two options tailored to your preferences. First, head to the Settings menu, where you'll find a comprehensive guide on mode switching. Alternatively, for a quicker transition with minimal setup, utilize the icons located at the bottom left corner of the Suyu window. These icons not only allow mode switching but also allow you to adjust GPU load conveniently.

You can even tweak graphics modes and settings during gameplay, and witness the changes in real-time. However, remember that the game you're playing is the key determinant in this process. Some games will have significantly improved performance with Vulkan on NVIDIA hardware, while others are better in the opposite configuration.

To begin, right-click the desktop and select NVIDIA Control.
Now select Manage 3D settings on the left, then change to the Program Settings option on the right.
