Greetings, I'm new here obviously.
Regardless, I'm running a Celeron G530 (2.4ghz) HD 4850 (512mb GDDR3, Sapphire dual slot model, cooler looks kinda like my CPU's stock cooler) with 4GB DDR3 (1333 rated, running at 1066).
I've been trying to get Metroid Prime to run.
I noticed on Low it runs as slow as it does with AA on 9xSSAA, Anistropy on 16x, IR set to 1.5x, etc. etc. anyways so I know it's not my Graphics card. I've tried literally everything and done a dozen google searches to no avail. (PS: I tried OpenGL which actually ran slower, and D3d11 which ran as slow as the "Software Rendering/Rasterizer".)
On another note I also noticed the CPU is constantly at 100% and only runs smoothly temporarily when it rarely jumps back from 20fps to 50fps for about 2seconds before fluctuating around 40, then 30, and 20 then back around again to 30 and so forth while running at 90% utilization.
What would be the Problem?
Is my CPU really just too slow? D:
If so that bites, I got this cause it was cheap and benches (at least for PC gaming) rated it about as fast as a Pentium G620.
Okay, that and I'm poor and awaiting seeing a psychologist before I can actually get a Job. (but that's a private/personal thing, you don't need to know. :S)
Oh also version is "3.5" which was on the Dolphin main download page the other day when I looked.
PSS: Any help is much appreciated even if it's "Upgrade to an i3 or i5".
I'm figuring as much but I want an opinion first.
