Performance Settings

In the Performance tab, you should set these according to your PC’s performance. Allocate a High amount of CPU cores if you don’t have a lot of other applications running in the background. The same goes for your Memory allocation. For users with 4GB or less RAM, set the option to Low. Under Performance Mode, make sure to set this option to High Performance. This might sometimes lower the visual quality to ensure you can keep a better frame rate. I prefer to enable the high FPS option and set the frame rate of the emulator according to my screen refresh rate.
