Quote:Aren't openMP supposed to use multiple threads? I thought it could imply multiple threads to do the same thing and these threads can run on multiple cores……
The OpenMP option in dolphin is only for texture decoding. I for one have never seen it make any difference in performance at all. It's just meant to reduce stuttering in a few games.
The same goes for openCL.
Quote:I do have windows. Ancient versions only support OpenGL, Older versions of dolphin run much faster on windows with D3D9, but newer versions appear no much difference, at least for games mentioned above. The nvidia driver for linux has made much progress.
How ancient are we talking? D3d9 is supported by windows 2000. So unless you're using windows 98 or earlier you should be able to use d3d9 as long as your hardware supports it.
Quote:Dolphin already support quad cores,to be more precise,it uses 3 cores.
3 is not equal to 4. So no, dolphin is not a "quad core app" or however you want to say it.
