The GPU is under 30% usage. Dolphin barely even uses my GPU even running in HD. It uses more of my GPU in Xenoblade Chronicles honestly. But Xenoblade runs 30fps all the time.
I can run the game at native resolution, and I get no FPS increase at all in Last story, the graphics options that are GPU dependent have no effect on FPS one way or the other for me. I can make Dolphin actually use my GPU if I turn the settings up a bunch, but I don't see any reason to torture my GPU running dolphin only for miniscule graphics improvements.
**Edit, I posted my Dolphin CPU benchmark in the other topic:
https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-new-dolphin-cpu-benchmark-no-game-required?pid=309102#pid309102
And my time was similar to someone else with the same CPU & clock rate.
I'll try one of the latest builds, and some of the older ones to see if the FPS is any better in that spot. I'm using 4.0.2 atm.
