I5+RX 480 Performance

[Nemesis]

Hi all, just sharing my first test.

I use a i5 6400
8GB Ram DDR4
RX 480 8GB
HD 7200rpm

All at stock speed.

Latest Build, Open GL.
F ZERO 4K, 16:9, V Sync, 4x AF, works @60fps (full speed)
MARIO MARIO SUNSHINE 4K, 16:9, V Sync, 4x AF, works @30fps (full speed)

I have to try wii games,

Don't use OpenGL on AMD GPUs. AMD is really slow at OpenGL

Use either Direct3D11 or Vulkan.

Would that really matter with an RX 480? That card is way overkill from a Dolphin perspective.

For some hard to run games like Rogue Squadron and Last Story it may.

Yes it would. With inefficient drivers, you would get bottlenecked on the CPU side before you even get close to fully use your GPU.

Isn't RX 480 what the PS4 Pro uses?

The PS4 Pro uses a custom Polaris 10 chip, that chip essentially being a heavily underclocked  RX 480.

Does the RX 480 still have crashing issues on Dolphin?

That's some pretty bad advice considering dolphin's Vulkan implementation still remains broken on polaris cards.

Yep. Still no changes on that front.

Well, how do you think users can help issues get fixed?
