Does DSP on Separate Thread really work?

[xemnas]

I tried it several times but I didn't notice performance improvement at all.

Uh, just in case, you do have more than two cores to have this thread offload from the otherwise dual-core system that is dolphin, right?
On a dual-core processor this new thread definitely wouldn't change a thing, no.
If you use an i5 2500K as is listed in your profile there should be an improvement.

[LordVador]

Not necessarily. It doesn't work with all games

[xemnas]

So it only affects some games? For all the games that I used this option, I didn't notice any difference and eventually unchecked it.

[LordVador]

In which games have you used this option?

Also by "DSP on Thread" I supposed you meant "LLE on Thread" (the old name of this option). I mean you'll notice a real improvement in some games only if you use LLE. It's pretty useless with HLE

[xemnas]

Yes. I means LLE. I tried it with Luigi's Mansion and Metroid Prime but didn't notice any performance improvement whatsoever.

Make sure you're using LLE Recompiler instead of HLE, as "LLE on Thread"/"DSP on Dedicated Thread"/"LLE on Separate Thread" is useless otherwise. If you already are, ignore me, I just like doing stupidity checks.

[xemnas]

For the sake of clarity: DSP LLE recompiler, DSP on Separate Thread, no performance improvement whatsoever.

...Now that just sounds like a case of being GPU-bottlenecked instead of being CPU-bottlenecked like 90% of people are. Are you on, like, 4x IR + 9x SSAA or something? :\

[xemnas]

Not GPU-bottlenecked because it's fast with HLE. Do you have speed improvement when using LLE? If so, with which games?
