I first off want to thank the developers for this program, Now for something they probably get a lot but I am new and not good at these kinds of things. My performance with every game is around 10fps with chopped audio I have tried to find guides on configuration but I am having no luck I can run nearly every game I have with max settings even processor intensive games like guild wars 2. My hardware is
AMD FX-6300 Vishera 3.5GHz (4.1GHz Turbo)
MSI USA R7850 Twin Frozr 2GD5/OC
Asus M5A78L-M LX3 Desktop Motherboard - AMD 760G Chipset - Socket AM3+
2x Mushkin Enhanced Blackline 4GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)
I don't believe in them but I even tried razor game booster. honestly any help would be amazing.

1: Dolphin is nothing like a PC game. Do not compare it to a Guild War's 2; that probably uses a fraction of the processor required for Dolphin.

2: You didn't mention what games. Your computer is pretty slow (AMD FX series kinda sucks overall for anything that requires high IPC) but I don't think games should be running at 10 fps, unless you're going for super, super difficult to emulate games.

. RE1 and Sonic DX but here is the thing I see video's and comments with people getting wonderful fps with effects at 1080p I know its not the best processor but it seems like its only using one core and hardly its not even maxing that one core out. I mean I have like 400 pc games and I do realise emulators are much more demanding but I have yet to get a game to give me poor performance even with things like skyrim 4k's out with max enb at 1080p It just seems like im doing something wrong or there is something wrong with the configuration or maybe i need to try another version.

Sonic Adventure DX is very light, so it should be running pretty well. Resident Evil is a bit different, but if you're getting low FPS on Sonic Adventure DX, something is probably not going right. Do you have any settings or anything else you can tell me so I have a better idea what's going on?

Also, again, Skyrim even with max resolution won't use a fraction of the CPU that Dolphin uses, trust me, stop trying to argue about PC games vs emulators you're going to lose.

That is the thing I was wondering maybe what a good config would be for the setup I have minus of course the tweaks for what ever game I am running. I mean my cores are barely being used I get 0 performance increase when overclocked because the emulator is not pushing what I have at all. maybe 20%-30% usage of my processor thats with a other stuff going on as well even if I close everything Im still at 10 fps.

Well thanks for your time but it seems that its something different or wrong with the new version I installed 3.0 and its running 60fps.

Dolphin is a dual core application ...
