I don't understand why just one of my cores is used at 100%. Is that normal?
Is this normal?

Have you got Enable Dual Core checked in the settings?
Also, Dolphin is only optimised for Dual Core. I don't know the specifics but apparently Quad Core wouldn't bring that much of a performance enhancement. 07-10-2009, 04:31 AM

Ok what your problem is a assume is your CPU affinity. try this, Ctrl+Alt+Delete when you have dolphin open then go to your task manager, right click the dolphin task and choose the set affinity part. Now a window should pop up and if your using quad core it should have 4 boxs and i think at default only one is checked. so check them all and all Cpus will have max access ![]() 07-10-2009, 11:01 AM

Don't worry about it. I get that too. The core that is hitting ~100% is emulating the Wii/GC's PPC processor, which uses a lot of CPU power. The other core is the one emulating the Wii/GC's GPU which isn't as high a MHz as the PPC, so doesn't use as much power. (The PPC is clocked at about 485[GC]/729[Wii]MHz, and the GPU 192[GC]/243[Wii]MHz)
Hope that answers your question! ![]() - CHR15x94

Yeah.
I watch mine sometimes when im playing. on my G15 LCD monitor usually the 1st 2 cores pump out 100% and the other ones dont really do much. Usually use about 50-70% Cpu while playing Wii games 30 with GC games ![]() 07-11-2009, 05:39 AM
that fails that only one cpu is used to emulate the wiis cpu... seems like a waste of processing power not to utilize the leftover in the gpu processor

Yeah that part i do not understand. Wish i could use 100% off my CPU.
tested it at 100% for hours its perfectly stable and stays at 32C ![]() |
