what's the secret? must one use the force?

Nah; it just has a lot of limitations and particular uses. In a game like this, overriding the clock up will make it more demanding, which is always bad considering how demanding they are already.

Lowering the clock basically means making the console itself weaker, so we're simulating if it were lagging on console instead of your computer. Means smoother audio (hopefully in a lot of games) and frameskip if we're lucky, slowdown if we're unlucky.

I have a Haswell i5 that turbos up to 3.9ghz, perhaps that is why it doesn't cause too much issue on my machine when I overclock. Last I knew of, Haswell performed much more admirably with Dolphin than any other cpu architecture, due to the higher IPC. Perhaps that has changed now with the new optimizations by Fiora?

[slarlac249]

i did notice smoother audio underclocking on rs3 on one or two of the more demanding levels but it introduced slowdown on missions that ran almost 100% to begin with.

but i get what your saying. it's a double edged sword, can be good and bad.

I can confirm Y wing bombs lag has nothing to do with overclock/underclock settings tried with different settings still massive lag. What finally got rid of the lag was turning my IR down to native. I think my system is more then capable to run this game ;P

Edit: yeah Max IR I can use for 100% no lag is 2.5 after that its just more and more lag.

The y-wing bomb lag also happened on GC. There are a lot of effects going on when spamming those, and yes, Dolphin will lag when you spam them.

[IceStrike256]

Well it is possible to run with no lag but you have to give up all quality.

[brawleyman]

Perhaps I should lower mine down a little then. I have mine set to 4x IR plus 4x msaa, but mostly stays at 60fps and about 40% usage, except when spamming bombs or something like that. Works great in every other game. My little Gigabyte GTX 970 Mini-ITX gpu just chugs along.

[IceStrike256]

well this game is a GPU HOG!! load the intro of imperial academy heist and watch the cut scene it is the most demanding thing in this game if you run that with no lag your good.

Just go lower from there if you want no bomb lag.

[slarlac249]

i completed that mission 60fps including cutscenes.
