Help Improves performance in Metroid Prime

[Velkien]

Hello, Good evening. Sorry if it is hard to understand what I say, I'm Brazilian and do not speak English, so I'm using Google Translator.

I'm with some performance issues, the configuration of my machine is this:
Processor: AMD A10 7850K@4.7ghz
Motherboard: AsRock FM2A88X-ITX +
Memory: 8GB DDR3 1600mhz Corsair Dominator
Video Card: ATI Radeon HD6850
Power: 650W Akasa

I was trying to use the 4.0.2 version of Dolphin but was slowly turning the games, except a few exceptions.
After much searching I found the version 3.0-804 build by Vlad optimized for AMD, and the performance difference was absurd games I've seen that many said they required much CPU run smooth, as Pandoras Tower, and Xenoblade Chronicles the Last Story.

But any version of Metroid Prime apart from Metroid Prime 3 Corruption can not I open this version of Vlad, the screen is dark or unable to ascertain the level of performance achieved in the game due to the problem that for the black screen.

Tested with ES_LAUNCH-3.0-641-x64 version:
But Metroid Prime WII Asobu, or even Metroid Prime Trilogy, still fall far the FPS, is running between 40-60 fps, already touched a lot of configuration, the best performance was unable enabling MMU Hack, and VBEAM . When I use the Native internal resolution, it runs fine around 55-60 fps.

So I thought the problem in terms of hardware emulation could be my video card. It proceeds?

If I buy another video card more powerful, for example, a GTX760 or R7 290x, I will have some gain in these games?

Is there any other version besides Vlad, optimized for AMD (it rode better in poquinho AMD wants the latest version 4.02 at least) a little more updated that I can run Metroid Prime (What not stop at black screen ?)

Sorry excess words, but hopefully I can get to be detailed, if you want some information I've overlooked, please let me know what I write here.

Thank you.

What buying a more powerful graohic cards do is that it will allow the game to run at a higher internal resolution, as well as being able to increase the anisotropic filtering and anti aliasingand yes, it will increase your fps. I don't know much about your CPU but I do know that AMD doesn't really perform well with Dolphin and many AMD CPU's struggle to keep up with Intel CPU's so you might not be able to play some more demanding games.. the 3.0 build is very VERY old by now and surely full of glitches and bugs, actually the 4.0.2xxx builds now run much faster and have less bugs so you might want to download the latest build

Thanks for the help, but as the Dolphin runs best on Intel processors, I was forced to use this old version, 3.0 build by Vlad, why it is optimized for AMD processors, and actually in many games that were running very poorly in versions 4.0.x are great in version 3.0 build by Vlad ICC with this setup I listed above. I researched enough to try to find a newer version of Dolphin optimized Vlad like this but have not found. Is there?

So I invest in a better video card that ATI HD6850 that will even make a difference?

Thank you.

You need a new CPU, not a GPU.

[himalayan]

CPU = Speed
GPU = Visual

You can have the best CPU in the world but only run the game at 100%, windowed and at native resolution.
Alternatively; you can have the best GPU in the world and see the game in the highest quality possible, but not be able to play it as it runs at 50%*

Whilst 4.7GHz sounds impressive, AMD cannot compete with Intel when it comes to high-end CPU's.

Using an outdated version that suits your processor is fine for now; if the games run at 100% constant then yes - upgrading your graphics card is the best step to improving the visuals.

However: Dolphin is a constant updating process - everyday there are new builds, new features, bug fixes etc... At one stage you will want to upgrade to the latest version whether it's a stable build or development build purely due to the compatibility.

It may be worth thinking about investing in a new CPU in the future - AMD can't cut it at present. For more information google for the dolphin benchmarking utility. You can see how well different CPU's perform within Dolphin which will give you an idea at how fast/well they will perform

[Velkien]

I understand. Unfortunately I will not be able to replace the processor anytime soon.
Still insisting on the question, lol, the fact that the dolphin does not run well with the AMD architecture, is because the Dolphin being developed for the Intel platform only right? Not output revision more like Vlad, why it is more difficult to develop for AMD?

Why I can not believe that the processor is bad in games PC Benchmark is very close to I74770. And here at home, PC games and other emulators run 100%. Well unfortunately, I invested in the platform that gave. Here in Brazil, a Core I74770K processor is 2.2 times more expensive than the A10 7850K, was hence the fact that I have invested in it so I can buy the video card. Now I have to find a way to improve the performance of games remain, which are the Metroids, the rest ta running 100%.

Thank you.

AMD's cpus are just slower. it even happens in PC games, e.g. StarCraft 2.

Have you tried using the latest dev build?

Good for all PC games I've played, run with high FPS. And has already been proven in several benchmark for PC games tests that you are talking about is nonsense based on a passion for the brand itself. To me it does not matter which brand, it is important that meets my needs, Dolphin is not taking this, because clearly he supports only one processor architecture, excluding other users, including that there are many that use AMD. A version of Vlad proves it, that with the same old work, all my games are running at 60fps in Dolphin, it proves that the processor is not bad, but the abandonment of architecture requires some users to invest more on a pc without (of course, if he wants to invest in the machine because the Dolphin).

Already tried yes friend, unfortunately it runs slowly fluctuates between 35-55 fps. Disregarding any kind of hack.

He doesn't mean the stable release of 4.0, 4.0.1, or 4.0.2, but the development builds, as they are faster than 4.0.x from here: https://dolphin-emu.org/download/ The latest is 4.0-2088. Try that one and see how it runs
