Low FPS - Advise me

idan345 · 03-26-2013, 12:06 AM #1

hey
i have an intel i7 920 OC'ed @ 3ghz
and 2 nvidia asus 9800gt (1gb gddr3) working @ sli .(yes, old comp)
and windows 8.
i know sli doesnt work in dolphin , but generally
what options should i put to get dolphin to run :
1. at a static fps w/o putting an fps limit (it goes from 19 to 40 during the games, very irratating, i'd rather 30~35)
2. at the most optimal options to get the most speed out of it.

my resolution is 1920x1080 on my monitor , if it matters any.

You shouldn't be getting speeds like that, provide your Dolphin settings and the name of the games that you're trying to run...

I owned an Asus 9800gt . It can handle 3xIR , no AA , 16xAF on most games (except Mario Galaxy)

Quote:kirby epic yarn

This is a demanding game . It run fast at first but the speed will drop over time
Recommend : Overclock higher (3.4GHz+)

Quote:super mario bro wii

This game does not exist . Did you mean "New Super Mario Bros" ?
The rest are light-weight games

No. Especially if it's up to date.
