I recently upgraded my GPU from a Radeon HD 6950 to a GeForce GTX 670. The new GTX 670 is way more powerful than the old HD 6950 (like double the 3Dmark11 score and triple the Unigine Heaven score), yet I'm getting significantly lower performance in Dolphin.
With the 6950 I got constant 60fps on F-Zero GX at 1080p but with the GTX 670 I get an average of about 35fps. I always read that AMD or nVidia didn't matter for Dolphin and that both performed well, but either that isn't true or there's some kind of settings issue I'm not seeing.
Also in Xenoblade Chronicles I get no UI or text whatsoever with the GTX 670. I can't see any overlay at all whereas it was flawless with the 6950.
Now I did update to a more recent build of Dolphin when I installed the GTX 670 and I don't really remember what the old build was it might have been the plain 3.0 and now I have the 3.0-684. The menus were a little different. Also in F-Zero GX in the old build with the 6950 I had square shadows under the cars whereas the new build with the 670 I have the actual shadows of the vehicles.
Is my GPU at fault or is there some new default settings in the recent builds that are messing me up. Please, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
