Quote:cpu load is less in d3d9 but GPU load is similar
Thanks. That's the part I wasn't clear on. I knew my gpu was the weakest link, but I thought directx would help it rather than the cpu. If I run at half native resolution, I get 100% in MKWii with openGL or d3d9. In Twilight Princess at half native, I get full speed more often with d3d9. Not in Hyrule field of course, but there's a noticable difference. A new gpu is next on the list.
