First of all here are my laptop specs:
Alienware M17xR4
Intel i7-3720QM (2.6Ghz - 3.6Ghz) ---> OC'd to 4Ghz, 3.9Ghz, 3.8Ghz, 3.8Ghz
ATi Radeon 7970M ---> OC'd 950Mhz core, 1600Mhz memory
Samsung 8GB RAM 2x4GB @ 1600Mhz
Standard Seagate 7200RPM HDD (still haven't gotten to a SSD yet)
Windows 7 Home Premium x64
Standard 1080p screen
Dolphin build: 3.0-828 x64
For normal gaming the laptop is a beast but I can't get over something.
Running simple games such as DKCR, Muramasa or Klonoa on Dolphin there's some FPS issues.
Particularly with Klonoa the first stage where you enter the house/mill and talk to the other cat my FPS drops to around 20.
I currently have internal resolution set at 3x (1920x1584) and AA (4 Samples, QL 16).
I suppose this is a CPU issue as it's too weak to handle all the processing.
Though what would be or is the normal settings you guys use for AA (including samples and QL)?
If I'm missing or overlooking something feel free to point it out.
