We need better evidence to try to understand what the issue might be; so far, I've only seen benefits in this PR. Claiming a 40fps loss without information on your setup, game version, log and a video showing it doesn't help at all.

Here’s a sample of this game; if it didn't match exactly, it's even better now.

thank for sharing some proof here, the after video shown unstable stutting obviously, running faster it is, but crashing somehow eventually, i know this PR given huge fps boost to some titles, like i said, leave us an option to enable/disable it alway the best for the adjustment.

So it wouldn’t be an issue in the PR but rather something related to the game being on Unreal, maybe stuttering.
I didn’t experience the stutters you mentioned, and I don’t think it’s a good idea to have an option to enable or disable for this specific pull request.

Did you remember to delete the PPTC cache for this game? I myself had some crashes before I thought of deleting the cache, and you didn't mention whether you remembered to perform this vital step. Let us know if you have trouble figuring out how to do this.

[sokennethwasall]

Tried this build out on my M2 Max MacBook Pro last night and experienced random stuttering and more frequent crashes, despite rebuilding PPTC cache for all games.

FPS was definitely higher, but it was far less stable.

[Otozinclus]

I tested this with M3 Air 24GB, at least on BOTW FPS are lower. I tested this with the same portable folder and just loaded the save in Kakariko, not doing anything else, with rebuilded PPTC cache of course and VSync turned off

Unrestricted FPS is usually 42-44fps and 15-16fps when energy saver is on (restricting powerdraw to 7.5w). With the PR, it is 40-42fps and 13-14fps with battery saver.

What game(s)?

Mac Studio M1 Max, 10 cores (8 performance and 2 efficiency)
64GB 6400 MT/s LPDDR5 (400GB/s) unified memory
24 core M1 Max GPU (G13X), shares 64GBGB unified memory
Tears of the Kingdom

I'm seeing identical system performance compared to Ryujinx r.6253fe1 ("Mirror Build"). Before each launch, I purged shader cache, deleted the content of the PPTG folder, as well as told it to Queue PPTC Rebuild. Maybe I'm missing something?

Ryujinx is using:

• Aprox 300% CPU load*
  *I'm pretty sure 1,000% is considered max load, due to having 10 cores, so this would mean it's using 30% of my available CPU.
• Aprox11GB of memory used
• Aprox 85-90% GPU load

For anyone who isn't seeing any performance improvement from the builds linked above, could you try the older builds from which this sparse jit change was merged?

Here is the older sparse jit build for windows.

Here is the older sparse jit build for linux.

It is possible that we're not seeing the expected boost in performance from the GreemDev version because of accuracy improvements made since then that slowed down the emulator, and which may be the real bottleneck.

EDIT: also, don't forget to test at 1x resolution to minimise the chances of running into a GPU bottleneck rather than a CPU bottleneck, which is the one we are testing.

Do you happen to have a link for the Mac version?

[extherian]

Unfortunately I don't own a mac and therefore have no way of compiling the old version for macOS. However, if such a build did exist, it would only show performance improvements on x86 macs and not Apple Silicon ones like the M1 anyway. As far as we can tell, periperi didn't update the ARM64 JIT with the same sparse JIT changes like he did with the x86 one.

You need to test without a filter, as it seems that FSR is active.
Another thing, remove the FPS unlock mod; just disable VSync to check if the performance has improved.

Don't worry , since i have report here about this PR memory leaking( 15GB hold & to be crash ), but found out actually my windows 11 somehow infected Nvidia's telemetry bot, by denying Nvidia's caches once, got fixed.
Now 9GB stable usage, never crash for 8hrs gaming.

[usr20210909]

I've tested it with "The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom" using UltraCam mod. This PR had the best performance:

• Ryujinx v1.1.403: 74 fps
• Ryujinx v1.2.69: 75 fps (no UltraCam, V-SYNC off)
• Ryujinx v1.2.69: 76 fps
• Ryujinx v1.2.0+0833a59: 78 fps

Scene:

For each version I loaded the same save, teleported to Lookout Landing, removed all armor and weapons. In-game time is 5:40-5:55 PM. Game was running in fullscreen mode.

Execution:

In the scene the frame rate was varying by around 5 fps over time. Before taking the screenshots I was visually monitoring the fps counter and took each screenshot when the frame rate was at its peak. It probably would have been better to use the UltraCam internal benchmark functionality + CapFrameX instead of relying on screenshots...

Hardware:

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D
• RAM: 64 GB, DDR5-6000, CL30
• GPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Super

Software:

• Windows 11 23H2 (10.0.22631), with KB5041587
• GeForce driver v566.03
• RTSS v7.3.6 (hardware monitoring overlay)
• Switch Firmware v18.1.0
• Vulkan, SMAA Ultra, Anisotropic Filtering Auto (but 16x for v1.2.0+0833a59), Docked mode
• TotK update v1.2.1
• TotK mod: UltraCam v2.5 (2560x1440, 120 FPS limit, 2K shadows, 25000 RenderDistance, DisableFog, DisableFXAA, RemoveLensflare). Performance without the mod is almost identical on my hardware - see screenshot below. GPU load with no mod is at 40%, with the mod it's at 48%. So even with the mod the GPU is not the bottleneck.

Screenshots:

Ryujinx v1.1.403: 74 fps

Ryujinx v1.2.69: 76 fps

Ryujinx v1.2.69: 75 fps (no UltraCam, V-SYNC off)

Ryujinx v1.2.0+0833a59: 78 fps

I have now used the UltraCam built in benchmark for Lookout Landing.
The results of the first two runs of each series were discarded to assure creation of all shaders.
Results were taken from the benchmark's TOTKBenchmark.txt file.

@usr20210909 you can get more consistent results by running a few of the benchmarks built into UltraCam. just run 3 and average them.

Great job, guys!

I tested the Ryujinx v1.2.69 yesterday on this configuration:

Ryujinx v1.2.69 (Vsync OFF, 1x, no mods)

i3-1115G4

Intel UHD Xe G4

16 GB (8+8)

SATA SSD

I tested some games like Mario Party Jamboree, the new ML:B, EoW and other older games, and all of them performed BETTER than the latest released build of Ryujinx. One of the games that I couldn't run stably and had a lot of frame drops, even with the 60 fps mod, was Disney Epic Mickey Rebrushed. Now, it works without frame drops and always above 30 fps. It's much more stable! I was really impressed and you guys are on the right track. Ryujinx 1403 is known for running with a lot of stutters here and your fork ran wonderfully well, even achieving a constant 60 fps in some older games (SM3DW+BF). I didn't use any mods in the games.

Some examples:

Mario Party: Jamboree: Even without mods, it ran better than the last Sudachi build + performance mods. About 20% overall and even better in some areas.

Zelda EoW: Amazing! It ran so much better than the last Ryujinx v1.1.403 build. It had higher frame rates and was more stable even running without any mods, versus Ryujinx v1.1.403 with mods (no AA, DOF off, 60 fps potato).

More testing:

I have updated my Windows 11 from 23H2 to 24H2, which is supposed to improve the performance of AMD Zen 3/4/5 CPUs.

Also instead of using the older Ryujinx version 1.2.69 I ran the new test with the latest 1.2.72. In 1.2.69...1.2.72 I see no changes that would affect the performance, so the results between those two versions should be comparable.

See here for used HW and SW: #83 (comment)

1st conclusion: 24H2 provides a better performance over 23H2

• With 24H2 for this PR the 1% and 0.1% FPS have improved by 4%-5% while the average FPS are almost the same
• With 24H2 in version 1.2.72 all FPS are higher by 4%-6% than 1.2.69 on 23H2

2nd conclusion: This PR is only slightly faster than 1.2.72 when running under 24H2

• With 24H2 this PR has 1.5% higher FPS over version 1.2.72

Here is the updated graph with the added new test results:

That patch is really good in allcases (better FPS, less lag spikes)

Continuation of #83 (comment):

Benchmark result when using CapFrameX instead of relying on UltraCam's internal benchmark results so the frame times can be visualized in a graph.

First two runs were discarded while keeping the results of the third run only. There's a lot of FPS variance in each run (probably due to many NPCs in the area doing their thing) so this comparison is not very robust. Maybe running the benchmark in a different area of the map with less NPCs would provide a more stable result.

Conclusion:

• 1% and 0.1% FPS are better by 5%
• Average FPS are better by 1.5%

And here we go again with more TotK benchmarking!

Since there's a lot of FPS variance in the Lookout Landing area for each run (probably due to several free roaming NPCs), which leads to inconsistent results, I now ran the other four UltraCam benchmarks and recorded the data with CapFrameX.

I collected the data of three runs for each area and discarded the first run since it has the worst performance. So each data set contains the result of four runs - two for each Ryujinx version. Adding any more results makes the data hard to read.

Kakariko

There's lower FPS in the first seconds and a peak in the frametimes towards the end in one of the runs recorded with 1.2.72. Overall this PR has a slightly better performance.

Great Sky Island

Two big frametime spikes in a run recorded with 1.2.72. This PR also caused a frametime spike in the middle of a run. No clear winner here.

Goron City

A clearly better performance in this PR - even with a single huge frametime spike in the middle of one of its runs.

Korok Forest

No huge spikes in any of those runs. This PR shows better average and 1% FPS results.
