Cant get 30FPS on TP not even 25FPS

Long story short the way dolphin queues GPU commands makes most modern video card drivers treat it as a generic desktop app and activate power saving mode. Make sure you either disable power saving globally or for dolphin.exe in your video driver settings.

As for why CPUZ is not working something is likely very fucked up with either one of your OS repositories or your motherboard firmware. I'm not going to walk you through debugging each and every possible cause so you either need to google it yourself or try different cpu monitoring software. Make sure your motherboard firmware is up to date.

CPU-Z -should- run on your system given that it supports all the Core family and gens: http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z/supported-hardwares.html

finally got CPU-Z runnig,

for those of you you have a problem running it, there is a cpu-z config file, you have to set sensors=0 then the program starts.

also I did as someone suggested and set the power settings for the video card to performance for dolphin.exe, and it did give me a more consistant 26 - 31 FPS now. Still not great but it makes the game more playable, I also get an unexplained drop to 19 - 21 FPS occasionally.

Maybe tweeking some more settings will resolve the issue totally.

any thoughts?

thanks

wow please check your GPU temperature with Realtemp/Coretemp.

[NaturalViolence]

Check your cpu temps and power settings too. It's running at 800 MHz.....

I think Anti-Ultimate meant to say CPU and that's a typo.

I'm trying to figure out how he managed to get only 18 C on his GPU

[NaturalViolence]

Yeah that is weird too. And he shouldn't have to set sensors=0 to get it to boot unless something is seriously wrong with his OS/firmware config.

As others said your cpu is underclocked which is not normal when running dolphin as it stresses your cpu a lot. You might have temperature or other issues with your cpu.

[csharporbflat]

there is no way the cpu is underclocked.

Although I will check the bios power settings again just to make sure.

the thing that makes little sense to me is that shouldn't dolphin use whatever resources are available to me.

also setting sensor to 0 was the only way I could get the program to load.

so the question comes down to am I missing some dolphin settings somewhere that I should change, I think I used all of the TP recomened settings, but I may have missed something.

also after running burn-in for 48 hours I did not get any errors produced by the CPU or GPU or RAM.

I am also leaning more toward a dolphin config issue or hardware issue. Rather than OS because I tried this on 3 different OS's with the same hardware, and viturally the same performance out of each

The cpu automatically underclocks on it's own when there is no load which is not the case when running dolphin and therefore your problem if what cpuz detected is correct (and it probably is judging by your subpar dolphin performance). I am not saying that someone manually underclocked it but rather that due to an unknown reason, perhaps temperature it throttles down and stays that way. I wouldn't give it a chance in a million that it is a dolphin setting that can cripple your performance that much, considering you already used the lowest graphic settings.
