Preferably not encumbered by Apple's random and stupid decisions to cripple their own products. If it still is not up to par, you need better hardware. Other Unix-like systems (such as FreeBSD) may work but are not officially supported. For their ease of use and additional graphics backend options, Windows is generally recommended for most users. If not you can try the driver support advantage of any of the other operating systems. Dolphin is a cross-platform emulator that runs on Windows (7 SP1 and newer), Linux, and macOS (10.13 High Sierra and up). If it gets you close to the performance you need good. So no, I would not recommend your configuration for dolphin. (I think it does, but you would need to figure that out.)

The only benefit of windows is that you get the option to use DirectX 12. You get updated OpenGL drivers and access to Vulkan. The best way to make use of that hardware is to dual boot Linux and run dolphin there.

Windows will drag down your CPU performance slightly and consume more RAM. There are objective reasons why you will loose performance by using MacOS.ĬPU performance should be unaffected, but you will take a hit to GPU performance.Īpple decided to remove support for OpenGL drivers that implement anything above openGL 4.1. I know it sounds like I am trolling you, I am not. If you use literally any other OS you will get better performance.
