When I did run PCSX2 the temperatures were lower (~65C) compared to Dolphin (~75-80C).
Current System: Laptop (Acer Aspire V3-771G-9875)
OS: Windows 7 - x64 CPU: Intel Core i7-3610QM 2.3GHz (Turbo Boost Technology up to 3.3GHz) GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 2GB RAM: 6GB 07-29-2012, 12:50 PM
That would depend on the games, builds, and settings used.

Keep in mind that Nvidia drivers do a lot of work... and the 3rd core can be tied up doing the operating system and video driver work. I sometimes find the turbo can't run at 2-core speed because the OS and drivers are putting enough load on the non-Dolphin code.. 10-02-2012, 02:17 PM
Quote:Keep in mind that Nvidia drivers do a lot of work... No they don't. You can measure that quite easily. Quote:and the 3rd core can be tied up doing the operating system and video driver work. Which doesn't account for very much load. Open task manager while dolphin is running if you don't believe me. Quote:I sometimes find the turbo can't run at 2-core speed because the OS and drivers are putting enough load on the non-Dolphin code.. That's highly unlikely. Check lock threads to cores and if it's still doing it then it's a temperature issue.
