Hello everyone,
First, I fully admit to being a noob in regards to Dolphin. I have little clue how the various options in Dolphin will affect a particular game - at this point I am resorting to pushing buttons in systemic order.
My current, and currently only, issue with Dolphin is a tearing / rolling issue. Whenever I start up a game (You Don't Know Jack) with the various settings, there is either tearing between frames, or outright rolling.
Here are my computer specs and settings:
Dolphin version: r7128
OS: Windows Vista 64bit
Graphics: NVidia GTX 280
RAM: 4094MB
Testing setup #1:
Framelimit: 60 (limit FPS)
Progressive Scan: Enabled
Audio throttle: Enabled
This setup produces these results:
FPS: 60, VPS: 20, Speed: 50%
Screen: Slow (due to running at half speed) and there is tearing that starts at the bottom of the screen and proceeds upwards.
Testing setup #2:
Framelimit: 60
Progressive Scan: Enabled
Audio throttle: Enabled
This setup produces these results:
FPS: 120, VPS: 60, Speed: 100%
Screen: Fast, but massive tearing.
Testing setup #3:
Framelimit: Off
Progressive Scan: Enabled
Audio throttle: Enabled
Results:
FPS: 120, VPS: 60, Speed: 100%
Screen: Fast, almost rolling like tearing.
Enabling V-sync with Setup #3 smooths out the tearing (so the screen dims and flickers in brightness).
My monitor is a Samsung LCD, which is running at 1920x1080, at 60Hz.
Might anyone have some suggestions to help me achieve quiz-show nirvana?
(I realize this post would likely be better served in the Game Discussion forum, but I can't post there just yet.)
