I already know my computer can run dolphin, but I think I'm finally starting to figure out my processor isn't nearly as beast as I thought it was. I have a core 2 duo, both cores clocked at 2.8ghz. Alot of games I've been playing lately I've noticed will not get full speed(Twilight Princess, Super Paper Mario,Madden 13). No matter what options I play around with they will lag enough to make me not want to play(20 fps).It looks like to me my cpu is just too slow. I just need to make sure it is the cpu slowing me down before I decide to go shell out money for a new cpu/mobo. And I know it isn't my gpu bottlenecking me. When I lag I'l pause the emulator and lower the enhancements, click play and the fps won't raise. I also tested with 3 different revisions 2 with default settings and two with default and "speed" settings to see if it could be a bad revision.
Dolphin 3.0- Default settings
Dolphin 3.0-432 Default and Speed settings
Dolphin 3.0-774 Default and Speed settings
Just in case
Specs:
core 2 duo @2.8ghz
Radeon HD 6670 GDDR5 RAM
4 GIG DDR2 Ram
Windows 8 32bit/Ubuntu 64bit/Xubuntu 64bit
Hitachi Deskstar 320 gig.
So basically my question is does it look like my processor is too slow for wii games and alot of gamecube games?
As always, any processors or mobos or any hardware you all recommend is greatly appreciated and I'l probably end up buying in the next couple months(even though I've read enough topics to know which mobo and i5/i7 is best for dolphin).
Also my internet is really buggy right now and I can not for the life of me get imageshack to upload pictures so I will have to upload screenshots of those settings tomorrow after school. Thank ya'll.
