Run an Android emulator without a dedicated GPU

What to expect if you run an emulator on a system without a graphics card.

Run an Android emulator without a dedicated GPU

Reality check

Most emulators benefit from GPU acceleration. Without it, performance can drop.

What you can try

• Use the emulator’s compatibility / low-spec mode.

• Reduce resolution and FPS.

• Reduce emulator instance count.

• Prefer CPU virtualization features if available.

When to move to a GPU server

Move to a GPU server if:

• You need stable multi-instance runs.

• You need higher FPS.

• Your emulator crashes under load.
