Animal Crossing City Folk - 60fps, down to 30fps

01-25-2011, 02:13 AM #1

I started using Dolphin last summer. I had onboard graphics of HD 3300 on Windows XP Pro 32 bit with a 3-core Processsor, AMD Phendom II. Since then I have upgraded to Windows 7 Pro, and HD 5850. I run Animal Crossing, but after 5 minutes of 60 fps running smoothly, it bogs down to 30 fps, and I do not know why. I tried running just my HD 3300 graphics on it with 7, it didn't make a difference. I tried r6000, and r6505, both with less performance or same. The game ran smoothly in the summer, but I have long since then lost the emulator. How can I fix this problem? Is there a specific revision I should use for this game? I also would like netplay.

Check if your PC is overheating !

Nope. I'm wondering if it's my CPU of 3 cores, but that wouldn't make sense if it ran fine in the Summer. Also, I'm using r6906. D3D11 so far has the least amount of bog, but still runs slow. I know its not my graphics, for even when I set my res to 800x600 full screen instead of 1280 1024, it still will bog or lag.
