GPU Bottleneck?

Most geforce 8 and 9 series GPUs are physically identical so I find that hard to believe.

Hey, after much effort I still can't get either gDEBugger or NVPerf working. So I could only benchmark based on the built-in FPS log file from Dolphin.

These are the results from Dolphin 4.0-r435, Windows 7 32-bit:
Disable Vertex Streaming Hack: average FPS 45
Enable Vertex Streaming Hack: average FPS 40

Weird. Looks like a cpu bottleneck. I'm not sure that I can explain the jump is cpu/gpu wait time. Unless maybe the game .ini contents changed from 3.5 to 4.0-r435. How does 4.0 behave with VSH?

Here are the average FPS results for 4.0.2:
Enabled VSH: 43
Disabled VSH: 45

As for the average FPS results for 4.0.0:
Enabled VSH: 38
Disabled VSH: 43

Any thoughts on what other tests or monitoring methods I can use for Windows?
