Hi,
I've been trying to run Dolphin, and in particular, Super Mario Sunshine but the game doesn’t run at an acceptable speed. I’m using a i7-4870HQ (quad core, 2.5 Ghz turbos up to 3.7 Ghz) and a Nvidia GT 750m with 2GB of GDDR5 memory on my macbook pro (on the latest version of OS X) and even the title screen on the newest development versions (and everything I’ve tested past 4.0) seems to drop to an unplayable 20 fps along with awful audio stuttering. On dolphin 3.5 vanilla, I can hold a steady 30 fps as long as I use efb to texture, but that breaks the goo in the game. Efb to ram still gets around 20 fps even if I drop visuals to minimum. Other games I’ve tested that don’t require efb to ram run beautifully on 3.5 too, even at 4x resolution, but aren’t playable on the later versions past around 2x. On the newer versions frame rates are fairly erratic too, they can often drop from 30 to 15 and back to 30 fps in the space of a second.
Anyone got any ideas? Am I being unrealistic with what to expect from my computer (looking at Youtube videos it doesn’t look like it) or is there actually some issue I’m missing here?
