So my question goes as follows. I was playing Super mario Sunshine. I went into that one level where you sink into the pipe then you have to find the red coins in the grass. Soon as i go into that level, my speed goes from 100% to 66%. I went to AMD vision engine thingy and the performance tab in the task manager. I monitored those while playing in the level. It seemed to be the case that dolphin was maxing 2 cores. Now I know there have been a thousand threads written up about quad core support. Here is what I am running:
Phenom II 955 Quad - 3.2 GHz
Radeon HD 6970 2GB GDDR5
4GB DDR3 1600MHz RAM.
Besides overclocking my CPU to 4.5 GHz, how do I get the speed to be at 100% in that level instead of 66. All the other levels it stays at 100. When monitoring amd vision engine, the video card handled it without breaking a sweat. Only half my RAM was used. Dolphin was taking up about 51-52% overall of the CPU. (Remember, its a quad). I even tried setting priority to high and that didnt help. So I want to ask: besides overclocking to 4.5 GHz.... what can I do?
On another note... I noticed throughout this forum that there is an extremely high demand for quad-core support. There is probably a reason for that. The reason is more than likely that everyone is having the same problem I am. 2 cores just dont do the job. I think quad core support is required. If you have any other suggestions to get my speed back up to 100%, I would be delighted to hear it. If not, I like 10,000 other people recommend quad support (It should probably be implimented)
