Not sure if this is the proper place for this however Ive not seen this posted else where. First Im using ubuntu 13.04, FX8350, 8 gigs memory, nvidia460 msi hawk. Dolphin 4.0
Originally I was using a AMD1090t. Un over clocked I would get performance as follows.
SMG 40ish fps
Mario Kart Wii 30-40fps
DKC Returns 40-50Fps
So I over clocked the 1090t through bios using msi oc genie. Oc to 3.6 ghz. Performance improved approx. 10 fps across the board. So I figured if I replaced the 1090t with a FX8350 running stock 4.0 Ghz I'd be good... wrong. I was barely getting the frame rate of the oc 1090T. So I went back into the bios and was concidering overclocking but was worried about heat.. so I instead DISABLED AMD cool and Quiet. Thats all I did.. Now this is the result
SMG 60 fps(even during flying intos to levels)
Mario Kart Wii 60fps(no more stuttering audio either)
DKC Returns 55-60 fps.
Played many more games with great results. Played for 2 hours and cpu temp never went above 44.
Is this an issue with Linux and cool and Quiet?? Why does the cpu not throttle up?? If this is typical it might be worth putting in the performance guide for those running linux and amd. Great improvement.. Fell in love with Dolphin all over again!!
p.s. Tried this on 2 different msi boards.. a 970 chipset and a 760 chipset.. same results.
