Hello everybody,
first of all, i really love this emulator, its amazing! I have a question about the performance though: I think i have a pretty decent PC (i54690k, 8gb ram, gtx 970) and im using one of the newest revisions (5091) but when i put settings on that increase image quality, i feel like the performance takes a hit in many games.
For example in mario galaxy the IR pointer seems to start lagging a bit, the camera doesnt seem as fast, it stutters when i collect star bits; in skyward sword the camera seems a bit slower as well and smash bros brawl feels like im getting some input lag and slowdown as well when there are a lot of enemies on screen.
The thing is in most games the stats still show fullspeed even when i notice these small things.
As a reference i was using something like 3x native resolution, 16 AF, 4x AA, scaled EFB copy, force texture filtering etc (all in OpenGL).
Now i switched everything off, except still using 2x AA and 1.5x native resolution and all games run super smooth, no hickups.
I really dont mind using these lower settings, i guess my question is more how do these image quality settings really work/ is there any PC that can use high settings without any slowdown in dolphin and why does it still show fullspeed in the status bar, even when there are all these minor slowdowns/ hickups in the gameplay?
Anyway i LOVE this emulator thanks so much to the developers!!
