Hi
I'm currently running Dolphin 5.0 to run Wii games in x1.5 resolution as my AMD A8 3870 with on-board graphics isn't up to the job of running games at higher specs. I plan to buy a GTX 560 ti (or similar) graphics card soon but I'd be interested in picking up any tips to optimise performance either with the GTX 560 or on the hardware I already have.
As an example Mario Kart Wii runs at a healthy 60fps an almost all of the tracks. The game mostly slows down in some of the menus (sometimes as low as 15fps. Is there a way to run the music asynchronously (like Retroarch does) because the music slowdown is probably the more noticeable than the frame rate drop?
Secondly (and I realise I may be asking in completely the wrong place) I have been trying to get the Retorarch version of Dolphin to match the performance of the standalone version. Typically I get 30fps in most GameCube games at even native resolution. Standalone Dolphin will often give me 40-60fps in 2x or 3x resolution in like for like comparisons. I'd appreciate any tips you can give.
