Hey I just got Dolphin set up on my PC and some games run fine now problem, but other more demanding games the performance suffer greatly. The frame rates drop, the audio crackles and stutters. SMG, Zelda, Metroid, etc. My specs are, Intel i7 930 @ 2.8 ghz , ATI radeon hd 5770 6 GB ram.
Poor Perfromance

Well , you can't run those demanding games with that i7. You will need to upgrade your CPU
1st gen Core I series @ 4.5GHz (Nehalem) is only as fast as 6th gen Core I series @ 3.0GHz (Skylake) in Dolphin Core counts don't matter much since Dolphin is a dual core application To run most Wii/GC games at full speed , I think you will need a skylake CPU @ 3.0->3.7GHz https://dolphin-emu.org/docs/faq/?nocr=t...ould-i-use Laptop: Mini PC :: 10-11-2016, 01:12 AM

I have another PC at my desk which has a AMD FX 8300 @ 3.3 ghz, 14 GB RAM, and an Nvidia GTX 260. I know my Desktop PC is more up to date hardware wise but do you think it would be a significant increase in performance compared to my HTCP set up? I am trying to weigh out if it's worth swapping the guts of both boxes. Thanks again 10-11-2016, 01:24 AM
That FX 8300 is definitely not better , may be worse ...

Considering the HTPC box will just be used for emulation and movies/TV I might want to upgrade the CPU and swap my radeon for my GTX 260. 10-11-2016, 01:45 AM
You can't . The Official Benchmark is pretty much dead , no one want to update it and only @Delroth has the authority to do that ...
There is a newer Benchmark here , you can update it anytime you want Laptop: Mini PC :: |
