GPU usage stays pretty low in dolphin. Temps never go above 64C even in 12 hrs of prime 95 on my CPU. I don't think its a throttling problem.
Could it maybe be an AMD driver issue? Catalyst 13.9 drivers.
This spot here in particular is a FPS tank:

Its 20 FPS in that spot @ 3.3ghz or 4.2ghz. GPU usage in the same spot is under 30%. What is causing the FPS dip here? I was told OCing your CPU helps, but the reason I even did it to begin with was to improve the FPS in spots just like this, which it doesn't seem to have any effect at all on.
