Hello there. this is my first post and.. hello
i'm in to emulation since late 90's starting with bleem and Mame such. and still emulating and tracking developments with enthusiasm, trying to get infos and help people as much as i can. i hope i'll be helpful by here too, but think i've been a bit late ^^
so long story short, there's a problem i couldnt choose which forum part it belongs to, better writing over here. if its not, sorry for that.
i'm using dolphin since about 5 years. it's been a lotta change since, hardware, dolphin itself, speed... But today, i've struggled alot about the emulation speed. last year i was getting pretty good performance regardless of little bit graphical detail reduction with Athlon 64 x2 at 2.6 GHz and Radeon HD3650 512mb, 2gb of ram. Now i have Phenom II x4 3.4 ghz and HD7950, but cannot get a speed over 40-45 fps with same games. i couldnt figured out how.
Tried Dolphin 3.5 and latest .367
hence Control Center has everything leaved to software, and dolphin has default settings.
ive ticked/unticked as most settings as possible to speed up emulation but nope. fps is wawing low and high all the time despite vsync and limit. roaming around 20-25 and 40-45 at most.
Tried all dx9,11 and opengl and had same results. its so frustrating especially when you're in a happiness of getting a new GPU.
i'll again write down my specs properly
Amd Phenom II x4 965 BE at 3.4 GHz
Radeon HD7950 3gb 384 bit, factory OC'd to 925MHz
a single 4gbs of 2000mhz ram
A clean install of windows 7 x64, having just few programs and not even an antivirus or similiar software to keep pc busy or slowdown.
have latest chipset and graphical drivers (13.8 beta), without having any problems playing Civilization V at top settings. shouldnt be the driver.
also i couldn't get access tounofficial speedup thread, maybe because ive registered recently and had no posts.
Hoping that i can get any help from here. anything would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
