+<h2 id="hardware-requirements">Hardware Requirements</h2>
+<h4 id="cpu">CPU:</h4>
+<p>Any x86_64 CPU with support for the FMA instruction set, or an ARM64-v8a or newer CPU. 6 threads or more are recommended.</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p><strong>Minimum:</strong> Intel Core i5-4430 / AMD Ryzen 3 1200 / Qualcomm Snapdragon 460</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p><strong>Recommended:</strong> Intel Core i5-11400 / AMD Ryzen 5 3600 / Qualcomm Snapdragon 865</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p><strong>Optimal:</strong> Intel Core i9-13900K / AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D / Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<h4 id="dedicated-graphics">Dedicated graphics:</h4>
+<p>OpenGL 4.6 or Vulkan 1.1 compatible hardware and drivers are mandatory. Half-float support and VP9 decoding support are recommended.</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p><strong>Minimum for Linux:</strong> NVIDIA GeForce GT 1050 4GB / AMD Radeon R7 240 4GB</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p><strong>Minimum for Windows:</strong> NVIDIA GeForce GT 1050 4GB / AMD Radeon RX 550 4GB</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p><strong>Recommended:</strong> NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 6GB / AMD Radeon RX 5500 8GB <a href="https://yuzu-mirror.github.io/entry/yuzu-progress-report-jan-2023/turboui.png">(with &ldquo;Force maximum clocks&rdquo; enabled)</a></p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p><strong>Optimal:</strong> NVIDIA Geforce RTX 3060 12GB / AMD Radeon RX 6700 10GB <a href="https://yuzu-mirror.github.io/entry/yuzu-progress-report-jan-2023/turboui.png">(with &ldquo;Force maximum clocks&rdquo; enabled)</a></p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<h4 id="integrated-graphics">Integrated graphics:</h4>
+<p>Integrated graphics will produce very low performance. A dedicated GPU will produce better results on all scenarios.
+This is only for listing iGPU support.</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p><strong>Minimum for Linux:</strong> Intel HD Graphics 4400 / AMD Radeon R5 Graphics</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p><strong>Minimum for Windows:</strong> Intel UHD Graphics 730 / AMD Radeon Vega 3</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p><strong>Minimum for Android:</strong> Qualcomm Adreno 605 (with Turnip drivers) / ARM Mali G57</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p><strong>Recommended:</strong> Intel Iris Xe Graphics / AMD Radeon 680M / Qualcomm Adreno 740 / ARM Mali G720</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<h4 id="ram">RAM:</h4>
+<p>Since an integrated GPU uses system RAM as its video memory (VRAM), our memory requirement in this configuration is higher. Highest possible frequency is strongly recommended.</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p><strong>Minimum with dedicated graphics &amp; for Android:</strong> 8 GB</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p><strong>Minimum with integrated graphics:</strong> 12 GB</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p><strong>Recommended:</strong> 16 GB</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p><strong>Optimal:</strong> 32 GB</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<h4 id="notes">Notes:</h4>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>An up-to-date Windows 10 version is required, old Windows 10 releases or older Windows versions are not supported. Windows 11 offers similar performance.</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>Our recommended/optimal specifications don&rsquo;t guarantee perfect performance in all games, but rather strive to provide a cost effective recommendation while still considering performance.</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>CPUs lacking the FMA instruction set will produce very poor results. Intel Core gen 3 series or older and old Pentium/Celeron/Atom CPUs will not produce optimal results.</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>Mobile CPUs will not reach the same performance as their desktop counterparts due to thermal, power, and technical limitations.</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>Check our recommended settings and drivers <a href="https://community.citra-emu.org/t/recommended-settings/319349">here</a>.</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p><strong>GPUs must support OpenGL 4.6 &amp; OpenGL Compatibility profile, or Vulkan 1.1 (or higher).</strong><br>
+To find out if your GPU meets these requirements, visit <a href="https://opengl.gpuinfo.org">https://opengl.gpuinfo.org</a> or <a href="https://vulkan.gpuinfo.org/">https://vulkan.gpuinfo.org/</a> and check your GPU details.<br></p>
