NOOB QUESTION: how do i overclock the switch??

I suggest using Google bro. But try to search for sys-clock.

 

[Bober791]

How

DynamicResolutionHMinWidth=1280
DynamicResolutionHMinHeight=720
DynamicResolutionDMinWidth=1280
DynamicResolutionDMinHeight=720

These lines don't work. Resolution dropped after loading screen.

How to have a frame rate counter??

 

[Al3Drk]

It will not affect. Changing some setting can give us even few more FPS.

I'm using it with Enahnced Settings to debug some values on the go and even have option to lock to 30 FPS whenever I want.

How can I have those opinions in the game settings? I want to change the settings on the go and not modify the settings file manually

Without editing settings manually it will always reset to default in next run and Cinematic cannot be changed without adding line to config. That's why I'm trying to figure out a way to save value with different name.

Thank you for your reply
I have 2 question
1) is overclocking going to hurt my switch? Is lowering the fps to 40 going to decrease the harm to the switch? What number should I set to get 40fps?
2) is there a text editor homebrew app so I can change the settings file on switch itself?

What is the best resolution to use? set to value 25?
I want to play in handheld mode, using the docked flag of reverse NX with max overclock and 60 fps/ best graphics.
And what is the 3rd part Dynamic resolution ExeFStweaks??

I tried doing that 3rd part.

So the only thing that changes is 68 value to 50?
Like on this screenshot?

please verify if I did it right

25 is the worst as you'll be below 30fps almost all time if not overclock your GPU to 921mhz, use any thing that has highest resolution at 536p if you wanna go 40fps or higher, if you prefer image quality over resolution, don't use this mod, simply overlock your switch to docked clock and play while charging

ok so keep at -1 then for 60 fps?
Anyway to check fps? I suppose not and you have to "feel" it.

yes, keep it -1 is recommended to keep it bug free and get fps as high as possible (other dynamic resolution options has a bug with your inventory rendering)

Thanks. It says for me:
Vsync On, Res 640x468 (64x64) GPU 19 MS or 20 MS. Vsync Threshold 0. Idle 50 50 48
Around 48-53 fps just walking around at night in some woods

So the value i used DynamicResolutionOverride=-1 is correct?


@4.36 This guy is getting more fps then I am. to the full 60 fps. and seems to be using 832x468 instead of my 640x468? Any idea why the change in resolution? and the higher fps he gains eventhough he has higher res.
We are both on max overclock. I mean it could be the area perhaps but...

Handheld clocks like 460mhz is safe as the switch used it by default in some games (The Witcher 3 using it by default too) Overclocking Ram is least power consumption but it might help in some openworld game like Witcher, Xenoblade 2... overclocking CPU might not have as much benefit in most games and it make your switch hotter and consume more power. If you wanna overclocking with higher GPU clocks (which require a charger) you should change/mod your thermal paste, otherwise it's not recommended.

640x468? did you type it wrong? lowest res should be 832x468
Btw If Geralt in your inventory does not look like this, it's correct xD

Idk I put both zips in my sx os folder just did the 2nd step and changed the settings.txt
DRGameTargetFrameTimeInMs=14.0
DRCinematicTargetFrameTimeInMs=14.0
DynamicResolutionOverride=-1
added this to the rendering part and imported save.

And for the 3rd part I did the
dynamic resolution exefs
16688052 to
16508052

(only changed 68 to 50 since those are only different)

 

[NotACat]

For the fps it depend on weather, area, situations... etc... he may using higher OC than yours too. And if your lowest was something like 640x468 seem you used the DR zip file not just 60fps zip file?

That exefs tutorial is an Example. You need to change two or four instructions, not only one...

DynamicResolutionOverride=-1 is by default. You don't need to paste that...

and why would you want to go that low res? the game is very smooth when it hit 40fps or higher, don't expect steady 60fps with the switch hardware, you can try target frame time 20-25ms for more stable framerate like 40 or 50 fps

So what do I change DynamicResolutionOverride to?
And what do I change the exefs hex value to?

I used both zip files 100%

keep it -1 of delete that line are the same. Just use 60fps file, Don't mess with hex values if you don't know what you're doing

I didn't pick that resolution intentionally. I have no idea what im doing I guess? I tried following the OP guide. Why am I getting that lower res then?
And the fps is quite good don't get me wrong. I just noticed a difference between the video's fps and mine that is all.
What does changing frame time 14 to 20 or 25 do for fps?

Ps im playing in portable mode. And I have reverse NX with docked global flag on (not sure if reverse NX is working though)

like I said delete the file from that DR zip, use only the file from 60fps zip, those exefs tweaks are for advanced users only

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

ps: don't use reverse nx, docked mode will make your lowest resolutions higher and it has more draw distance which reduce performance, the game can reach 720p and run smoother than docked mode with overclocking only

Okay.. now it is at 832x468 res... with 40-44 fps..

But question from this list 832x468 is a portable res... Im using reverseNX with global docked flag.. so why isn't the res atleast 956x536?
