Well, wait, we can define "optimal" as the "current best way to play game X".
I haven't used Nintendo Switch's Online emulation service, but my understanding was that the N64 emulator for it was initially very bad (though I've heard they fixed it?). On emulators for Windows, playing the same game, they would boost the resolution to 1080p [1] and bump the frame rate up to 60fps for a lot of games, while not giving any real negatives. For example, I think Conker's Bad Fur Day plays much better on Project64 than the original cartridge, so I'd define that as "optimal", and probably better than it would be if it were on the Nintendo Switch service.
EDIT:
[1] Actually I could be off on that number. I thought it was 1080p, but I think that doesn't jive with aspect ratios. Still, it's a higher resolution than what the original hardware gave us.
