I am NOT a technological genius, I know little to nothing about hardware and software's intracate workings. I will start with that in the effort of honesty. I'm a fiddler. I can fix most mechanical problems I come across, and usually can fix computer/program problems by myself, by some googling, fiddling, and educated guesses towards function, however here's a problem I CANNOT solve, which I come to you good folk for help on;
I bought a PC off a friend recently, with what I am told are decent specifications, and over the weekend installed an Nvidia GTX770, which I'm told is a very good card, and which runs PC games incredibly well at maximum settings. Problem is, I can't seem to get it running well with emulators. At all. Namely I'm upset that I cannot run my GCN emulators, with basically the only game I want to play, Metroid Prime.
Running dolphin 3.5 in both 32 and 64 bit, and the latest release on the download page of 64bit 4.0 (http://www. shall not be named/download.html?lang=en) I get BAD framerates, running on default or low settings! My GPU monitoring software shows that the program is only using about HALF the cards total power!
My system specs are;
2 Intel Xeon E5430 2.33GHz quad core processors
8GB RAM, clock speed and brand unknown (But scored a 7.7 in windows experience index, so I assume it's decent)
and
a BRAND NEW Nvidia GTX770 manufactured by Asus (Its the only 770 they make, so I omit a long hard to memorize model number) clock speeds currently set at; 1111 mhz GPU, 1200 mV, 7010MHz Memory speed, and temperatures seem normal..
And windows 7 64 bit.
I will provide additional information as requested/needed.
This computer runs brand new/recent games (Batman Origins, Splinter Cell Blacklist, GRID 2, Dirt 3) at the absolute highest possible settings at 1080p and 60fps without a second thought, or any kind of frame rate drop or hesitation
What is going wrong?! I had this, and other emulators running games PERFECTLY on a friends seemingly inferior rig, with only a GTX 560!
What settings can I try? What do I do? It's quite disheartening, as emulating THIS GAME SPECIFICALLY was one of the major things I was excited with on this card, with aspirations of seeing it smooth and enhanced at higher resolutions...
