Dolphin on Vaio S Series

Hello guys,

recently i've been trying to play Super Mario Galaxy 2 on my Sony Vaio S series laptop (spec as follows - CPU: i7 3612qm 2.1GHZ / GPU: Nvidia 640m LE 2GB (bus width 28.8GB/s) / RAM: 8GB DDR3), I`ve expected to get a decent frame rate playing on 2X Native, however, even on native resolution (640x528), I still get a FPS between 25 to 30, in windows mode, full screen goes to 22 to 28.

Am I doing something wrong? Aint this computer suposed to run dolphin at least a little better?

So far SMG2 is the only game I have, once I get a new one I'll post the results to let you knows how it responds.

(Sorry for the lame English...)

You're going to need a much higher clock rate than 2.1GHz to even come close to full speed.

No way you can run SMG2 full speed on that hardware
SMG 1&2 are CPU&GPU intensive games
Both of your CPU & GPU are weak . You should play it on a gaming desktop (i5 3570k @ 4.2GHz + Nvidia GTX 650 for example)
You can try AX HLE build :

Thank you guys,

I was hopping that since my computer can manage some new PCs games at full hd it would be able to runfull speed at least in native resolution... Too bad =/
Nevertheless, I will post the results for other games to let users knows how the S Series stands.

Thanks again!

OEMs always list the default operating frequency as the clock rate. The clock rate range for that cpu is 2.1-3.1 GHz with turbo boost. With dolphin it will likely be running somewhere in the 2.8-3.0 GHz range assuming he has the power profile configured correctly.

While it might not run SMG2 at fullspeed it should be getting much better performance than 25-30 fps.

@tweo

Try plugging in the laptop while running dolphin and setting the power profile to high performance. And check your temps and clock rates to make sure that turbo boost is working.

Which video backend are you using? Make sure the discrete GPU is being used and not the IGP.
