frame drops in some areas of wind waker

[Jimmy_the_squaremeon]

In some places in the game i go from 30 FPS 60 VPS to 20 FPS 50-40 VPS sometimes worse when i played through a while ago and the Ganondorf fight was like 10 to 15 FPS

CPU AMD FX-6300 3.50 GHz
GPU AMD Radeon RX-480
RAM 16GB

any recommended settings?

I´d overclock that FX thingy as much as I can to get the best performance possible out of it.

Create a hotkey for swapping efb2ram and efb2tex, and use it once you are inside the game. This will then disable efb2ram, giving you a nice performance boost, although not as big a boost as it used to be, because of the Deferred EFB Copies Mode added just 2 months ago.

If you do this, you have to keep it in mind. As long as efb2ram is disabled, taking a photo with the camera thingy(i always forget the name of it) should crash the game, causing you to lose all unsaved progress, which can easily be hours.

Oh, and yes, other than that, your cpu is most likely the bottleneck as DJBarry004 pointed out.

I think you mean the Pictobox?

WW also uses EFB Access to CPU for the sun rays and maybe other effects I don´t know about.

Yes, pictobox. Disabling efb2ram doesn't change anything other than not being able to use the pictobox. Disabling efb cpu access could lead to someting bad, and it's only slowing down while it is actually required, so i don't recommend disabling it.
