So I'm a relatively new to Dolphin. I used it 5 months ago but I always got slowdowns during games. They definitely were playable but not "perfect" which was my goal sadly lol.
My system:
4770k
8GB Ram 1600
HD 7950
Windows 8 (Not 8.1 so if that would help I can upgrade)
I used to get slowdowns due to audio I'm guessing. I'm about to do some testing today but was curious to know a couple of things:
Which build should I be using for best performance?
-I read on some forums/places that I should be using not the latest stable build but a more recent build that can have up to 30% performance improvements.
What are some tips for AMD GPUs with Vsync?
-I read a thread on here with users discussing Vsync and some were saying that they found immprovements in Vsync performance by enabling vsync through their driver settings on their GPU rather than through Dolphin settings. Also I saw something about Triple Buffer (something I forget), helping quite a bit as well to perceived smoothness.
Finally, any tips for my hardware to help me get good performance with Dolphin or things you used that helped you? I just realized right when I stopped using Dolphin that you could set profiles for the games themselves rather than changing global settings for each games. That was huge to me but by then I'd mucked my settings so much I stopped so I am trying to get a fresh start here and actually reach out for help rather than looking all around the internet for help when many of the threads I'm reading are probably referencing old versions of Dolphin anyway.
