Dolphin performance comparisson

[LudwigX]

Hey guys!
I downloaded 4 revisions of Dolphin and tested how fast they emulate.
The revisions are: 2195;2536;3334 and 3761 (all 32 bit)
I tested them with the games: Mario party 7, Super smash brothers melee and Mario kart double dash
The test Computer has this specs: Win Vista Ultimate (64 bit); Intel Core 2 Quad 6600; Ati Radeon Hd 4830, 3 Gb of Ram (667 Mhz)

For the tests I deactivated "enable other audio" in the DSP Plugin(to remove the frame limiter)


I was wondering why the FPS weren't rising. The FPS in Mario kart even sunk.
But in the time i played Dolphin I noticed that it got faster, so there had to be a mistake or something. I rememberred that I always play with Dual Core enabled, so I enabled the dual core setting.



And here we have the speed boost that was expected!
As a result we can sum up that some games don't get a high speed boost(like Super smash brothers), but other games have a very high speed boost(like Mario party 7 and Mario kart). And I think that Mario party and Mario kart stand for the most of the games. At least the one's I played.

Stupid question.. but... is this running @ 640x480? 16 or 32 bits?

Let's say that I have a geforce 7900GTX, but I have an overclocked core 2 duo, or even an core i7 940. Is it that CPU dependant, or are my FPS going to be very low because of the gfx card?

[boogerlad]

the gpu is fine.

any program to overclock from windows
