Hi
I just upgraded my PC with an x99 motherboard and a 5820k cpu, which I've overclocked to 4.3GHz. I get good scores with the CPU now that I've changed to performance power mode, and it stays cool all the time (max 75 degrees, never hit on Dolphin). I thought my PC would be fine for Dolphin now!
But I can't use internal resolutions higher than native without losing fps. Like down to 30 fps from 60fps, even at just x2 ir.
Also split screen mario kart (which just clarify I backed up myself using my old LG drive years ago) stutters really badly, whereas native resoltion single player is fine.
Can anyone advise me please? I have used GPU-z and determined that the GPU is being used at full speed (overclocked to 850MHz) gets up to 100% occasionally, even at native, indicating its the bottleneck. I had hoped to wait until next year to upgrade my GPU. I have seen older posts saying HD6850 is fine for increasing internal resolution, but that new Dolphin builds are more demanding of the gpu?
Thanks for any advice.
Edit: by the way, the cpu gets 4 minutes 35 seconds in the unofficial dolphin benchmark, and the system generally is never higher than 0% CPU used if idle.
