Alright, I have a strange issue going on here. So I just recently upgraded my graphics card (Purchased a ASUS GTX 750 Ti) in my PC to get framerate increases when playing all games.
However, after I upgraded the graphics card, I do get the framerate increases, and the main reason I got this graphics card was to fix any graphical lag issues in Twilight Princess for the GC, but this weird thing happens whenever I go into a new area in the game, where the GPU on the card gets completely maxed out, and I get diminished framerates (Approximately 12-15 FPS). After messing around with the settings for a bit, because I knew that there was no way that it could be getting bogged down, so I started messing around with the actual GPU clock rate, and every time I messed with it even by just one number, the moment I updated it, my GPU performance would decrease from 100% to about 30%, and I would get those high FPS rates with no issues again. However, the moment I entered another area, I would have to do the exact same issue again.
I've tried this with both D3D and OpenGL, and still have been incredibly stumped as to what could be causing the bottlenecking. Any suggestions? I currently have everything set to the default settings, so maybe there is something about TP that I missed that needs to be changed when playing this game. I've added a picture to show the massive spike with the change in GPU performance.
Thanks for any help in advance.![Smile Smile](https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/images/smilies/smile.gif)
*UPDATED NOTE* I currently have OpenGL on, and now the issue will sometimes just start in an area. The framerates will go from about 28-30 and just steadily drop down to about 1/4 of that (depending on the multiplier I have on). I have tried doing it on x2 for hopeful FPS gains, but still see it drop down to 17-18 FPS. When playing on x4, it drops down to 8-10 FPS.
PC Specs:
Intel Core i7 4771 @ 3.5 GHz (4 cores, 8 threads)
ASUS GTX 750 Ti (2 GB GDDR5, GPU base clock 1150 MHz, GPU max clock 1285 MHz, Memory base clock 5400 MHz, Memory max clock 5600 MHz)
8 GB DDR3-1600
256 GB OCZ Vertex4 SSD
1 TB WD-Blue 7200 RPM 64MB Cache
ASUS ROG Maximus IV Hero Mobo
I can post pics of the issues if it is helpful.
