Official DX11 plugin thread [OUTDATED]

@ Xtreme: That would be a new issue then? Because I haven't had those problems yet.

It's been an issue for a while with the DX11 plugin. CPU EFB access isn't working and just crashes the emulator whenever I try to test Super Mario Galaxy 2, works fine with CPU EFB access disabled.

Ah, yeah, I can confirm it. Haven't tried DX11 for a while...and now I find out, Mario Kart Wii is working (also on nvidia) cards and it's even better than with DX9 cuz there's no dark sky and GUI issue in the time trial Big Grin

Must have overread the commit that fixed this Smile

Also I'm stunned by the speed. Ingame is pretty much the same as with DX9 already...only those menus are a bit slow but that's not a big issue. Good work, BigBrainX Smile

yep dx11 is v.good. i noticed something on smg1 at the start in the observatory when you load the game, walk back and the camera pans out and gives a view of the place. on dx9 my fps drops by about 10 but its doesnt with dx11. i get around the same speed with both just on that bit dx9 slows. cant really test other areas since im only at the beginning.

well, at the moment you won't be able to get any further with DX11, since EFB -> CPU access crashes the plugin and you need that to pull yourself into the galaxy view.

The DX11 plugin seems very slow with some games, with SMG/SMG2 I get about 15 FPS - 25 FPS less than with DX9.

that's interesting. cpu > efb access is working in dx11 for me (thus pullstars), and has been for quite a few revs. also, i only lose a few fps in smg/smg2 compared to dx9. i'm using an ati 5570 on windows 7 x64.

goddamn my nvidia card! (only when it comes to Dolphin, though Tongue

)

The weird thing is that it used to be ATI that had all the issues with Dolphin in the past. I don't think this issue has anything to do with my graphics card though, I'd be surprised if that is the issue. OpenGL is also borked, for those with Nvidia cards at least, hope there will be a fix soon for both issues.

Hmm, in Dolphin matters I can only remember nvidia cards having the issues...e.g. the light blue box in upper left corner in Mario Kart Wii and Sports Resort. Also the issue with DX11 plugin and nvidia cards with Mario Kart Wii (well, fixed now Smile

), etc...
Apart from Dolphin I'm always happy to have an nvidia card but here I sometimes wish it to the moon ^^
