Switch-OC-Suite

[jelbo]

Made a basic guide on how to install and use Switch OC Suite and its required dependencies and its configurator with some troubleshooting as well. It covers all safe clocks and overclocking ram up to 1175vdd2. Advanced guide coming soon.

Thanks for this, Your hekate_ipl.ini instruction/example differs from what I needed to configure to get things working. See this post. Took me a while to get it to work and it also fixed it for TamarindoJuice, so it could be useful to incorporate it into the guide.

The one I posted is directly from my Switch and works but yeah I'll include an alternative version with the line in a different place. I say it in the FAQ but I'll make it more easy to understand with an example.

Edit: Fixed it up with your suggestion

Advanced Guide is out now for Switch OC Suite covers everything that the basic Guide didn't cover including unsafe clocks, high ram clocks, checking speedo and RAM type and how to benchmark and how to test GPU and RAM stability.

If you need any more help with overclocking ask in the 60FPS Discord - you can find a link inside the guide.

Wow this is really useful, thank you.

that is correct behavior. mariko has only 3 tables available unlike erista.
204, 1331, 1600. and it is not easy task to add more tables.
so 1331 is overwritten with 1600 and 1600 is overwritten with oc frequency

I see. Thanks for the explanation!

As a total OC newbie on the Switch: Would this help me avoiding those annoying stutters/hiccups in Dysmantle? If so, would I need a specific setup for that specific title or do I just enable OC and play the game?

First max out RAM before you do anything else as it reduces CPU and GPU load. Stutters in games are a CPU or GPU issue. Increase CPU/GPU clock until the stutters stop. When a stutter happens you'll probably notice 90+% CPU or GPU utilisation on status monitor so you'll know what to raise.

Open the Tesla menu in game and set clocks with the oc suite overlay from there.

Cool thanks!

Undervolting has been a great addition for Erista. I've been playing with it in my free time by going 10mV at a time, and so far I'm at a -30mV offset while running the GPU at 921mHz.

Playing TotK, no crashing or visual artifacts yet. Combining it with a less aggressive fan curve, fans stay at about 40-50%, with SoC at 55C and Skin at 45C. It's nice not hearing that whiny fan all the time.

Is the idea of maxing out RAM clocks to reduce CPU and GPU load viable on any game?

Yes, works with every game. Only thing is that it can increase power draw slightly for no reason if it's not needed i.e. playing NES, SNES, GBA games and games, games that already maintain a locked 30/60fps with no dynamic resolution.

Right, right. I didn't know that, thank you very much c:

latest sources doesn't support firmware patching..
remove functions related to i2c if you want to do it via firmware patching method

hey, i'm testing 60fps mods for TOTK and EVERY mod i test the game only stay with the speed game in 2x, can anyone help me?

Not the right thread to ask this but delete those old FPS mods update game to latest version use ToTK 60FPS FPSLocker patch by masagrator. It will not have the double speed issue.

thank you!!!! i only need this? no patches in the content folder so? i have to activate something in the fps locker?

You need to put the .yaml file on your SD card in  SaltySD/plugins/FPSLocker/patches/0100F2C0115B6000

This is a guide on how to set up FPSLocker which you have to do for the patch to work



Once you're got everything set up and copy over open up FPSLocker in game open up FPSLocker select Advanced Options -> Convert config to patch file exit out of advance settings select save settings then you MUST reboot the game for the patch to take effect. Then increase FPS target to 60FPS.

thank you! but when i convert the config to patch file, after reboot the game it dont starts, gives me software error, do you know about that?

Remove all TotK mods from the game in the contents folder and in the exefs_patches folder. That should fix it
